Mamahood

I want to be so DIY. All the DIY chicks are so cool (though some are pretentious, making them totally uncool and very, very LAME).

I’m artsy, but I’m not crafty. I don’t know how to sew, let alone knit or crochet. By the way, how did knitting become so popular all the sudden? I want to learn to knit but I have no clue what I would make. A few knitted things are cute–like a big chunky scarf–but I honestly don’t see the major appeal of knitting. Yet I still want to do it just to say that I can.

I want to think outside the box. It took me months to realize that a baby doesn’t need commerically prepared baby wipes. You can simply use a small cloth and warm water with soap as a baby wipe. Duh. Now I’m using organic, handmade (but not by me) bamboo cloth as baby wipes and I plan to make my own in the future.

I just want to make stuff. Knitting, crocheting, sewing, building, whatever–I wanna do it all. I’m a DIY wannabe.

Now who will teach me this stuff…?
