A Little DIY Humor

I'm all for the DIY movement, though I've only stuck my feet in the proverbial pool. Although, there's this weird tension between DIY folks and old-school craftspeople, and being a little bit of both can be a bit awkward. Now, I'm an equal-opportunity critic, but my biggest beef with the DIY community is taking themselves too seriously (it's on par with self-righteous bicyclists). Again, I dig DIY (AND ride a bike), but you can't tell me you're a serious crafter because you knit and felt vaginas or screenprint owls with umbrellas on aprons. It's all adorable, clever and fun, but let's keep a little humor about this, eh?
