DIY

 Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls! If you didn't notice it yet, we're living in the times of financial crisis! But don't worry, it's not going to be a depressive post about how hard it is to survive nowadays. There's an aspect of it that I find very positive- people started to create, do do things by themselves more. Do It Yourself movement has more and more fans all over the world. Massive amounts of blogs and web sites are showing you how to sew, cook, repair, renew by yourself, with your own two hands, with lower costs (or without them). 
 Financial prosperity and capitalism (well, well, and I say I hate politics! ;) ) made us lazy and attached to the shops- we knew we could buy everything. The value of things was rising on a price tags but not in reality. In reality new t-shirt was transforming into rag after 5 washes and "fresh" food couldn't stay fresh in the fridge for more than 2 days. 
 Everything is so easily available in the shops that we're not wondering if it's easy to make or get by ourselves, often for free. Well, maybe the price would be a bit more effort than spending all day in a shopping mall.

 And what would you say for changing the name from DIY for DYH (Dirt Your Hands)? ;)
