Like many working mothers, Joanna knows finding time to be creative often ends up at the bottom of the priority list. That’s why her motto is ‘minimum effort, maximum return’.
In Home Made Simple she focuses on projects that really are worth the effort. Making things for yourself and others means they can be much more personal, unique, thoughtful and satisfying, whether it’s re-upholstering an old chair, making a pretty lined purse, knitting a kindle book cover or releasing sky lanterns.
As a bonus, these home-made projects are created at a fraction of the cost of buying something similar, and are invariably much nicer. Plus Joanna’s step by step ‘How To’ approach make it really simple to follow.
Home Made Simple is divided into three chapters:
Home – including stylish hanging bookshelves, a pallet coffee table, tree branch pegs, simple curtains, magnetic spice jar storage and an oil cloth shopping bag.
Giving – projects such as lace-printed clay tea-light covers, simple scented candles, a charm bracelet and chocolate honeycomb.
Celebrations – including a golden chocolate Easter egg, Diwali hanging firefly lanterns, golden apples for the Christmas tree and cheats doughnuts for Hanukkah
It’s about home made, made easy. So let Joanna and her Home Made Simple book help you live, give and celebrate in style.
