Before I started my own blog, one of the places I lurked a lot was
The DIY Dish . It's a wonderland of ideas run by twin sisters Kim and Kris who also have a web tv show.
About Kim and Kris:
As former elementary school teachers (they even taught in the SAME 4th grade classroom for many years!) they have always enjoyed sharing and teaching. In 2006, Kim started the popular DIY website, www.YouCanMakeThis.com. Two years later, Kris began managing the 2nd “sister site”, www.SWAKembroidery.com. And in 2009, a 3rd DIY website was added to the mix: www.YouCanQuiltThis.com. Whether it be sewing, crafting, scrapbooking, quilting, embroidery, family projects, and more, you’ll enjoy watching The DIY Dish and participating too!
Their current episode ( they'll have a revised summer schedule ) has some projects that would make awesome Father's Day, graduation, birthday, or wedding gifts, or just to make because we make stuff!
Because we all need another excuse to go to the hardware store :)
But the best part (even though the project ideas are pretty awesome) is that the sponsor of their show has a
GIVEAWAY that no craft minded creative person I know would want to pass up a chance to enter. Check this out:
