For some it's a new thing. For others it's something they've been doing for years. For our grandparents in the 30's and 40's it was a way of life. No doubt about it. DIY is in.
At the end of Sept. over 70,000 people attended the World Maker Faire in NYC.Adrianne Jeffries from the Verge (www.theverge.com) said this about the maker or diy movement:
"The maker movement covers bicycles that generate electricity, art projects that light up when you press a button, and the enormous genre of how-to videos on YouTube. It’s in line with the eco-friendly and buy local movements, the back-to-artisanal aesthetic, and the geek worship that are also part of the post-aught zeitgeist".
Are you interested in raising your own chickens, growing your own food, making your own clothes or doing your own remodeling or house repairs? You are part of the DIY movement.
