I'M HOOKED: "MAN MADE DIY"

I love DIY sites. From Design*Sponge to ReadyMade, I'm constantly searching the DIY blogs for nifty project ideas. I'm handy like that. The only problem (if you want to call it a problem) is that most of the DIY blogs out there are geared towards a female audience...until now. Introducing ManMade DIY; It's a DIY site that makes me feel butch. According to the site's About page:

ManMade features original how-to content, videos, and design inspiration created by both women and men. It’s for anyone that says ‘Hey, I can do that,’ and believes that sewing machines and tablesaws alike belong in the workshop.

My favorite post so far is the Five Very Manly, DIY Aftershave Recipes post. It will definitely be a future project. Happy DIYing, men. ~Derrick

DERRICK GETS CRAFTY: CARD MADE WITH A RUBBER STAMP

Resolution #26 for 2010: Spread my crafting wings.

 

The above is my first attempt at this crafting goal. One of Warren's employees is celebrating her 15th year with the company, and he called upon me to create a card. After picking up the necessary supplies from the local craft store this is the finished product.

I know it's 11 months away, but I can't wait for the holidays to come back around. Oh, the cards I will create. ~Derrick
