Hello World

Hello World!
Welcome to MBU, the DIY Craft Studio blog!  Here you will find reviews for many crafting tools, materials, and the merchants that sell them.  Of course you will also find tutorials as well as updates on when the Craft Studio will be in session!


Made By U - DIY Craft Studio is new way to enjoy crafting.  
We all love to craft.  
No bones about that, but sometimes there are a few draw backs to pursuing our deepest love.  Three of the biggest complaints I hear from crafters are these:

  • Distractions - dog, cat, kids, spouse, dishes - you get the idea.
  • Space - we all have a spot where crafting is taking over, but that spot is still needed for other things like, oh I don't know, eating.
  • $$$$$ - ANYONE can craft - Martha taught us that - you just have to have the right tools and they don't come cheap.  

Have you ever gotten stuck in a project and realize you just have to have the doo-hicky to finish it?  The doo-hicky is that tool that stares at you every trip to the craft store.  You pass it over every time because your secret number flashes in your mind when you look at it.  Your secret number being the total money spent on loving your craft.  A number you would confess to no one but know by heart.  Well MBU can save you the guilt.  

MBU eliminates the distractions (because you come to us and hopefully don't bring your cat with you), gives you space so you can spread out while you work and store it with us if you like, and saves you cash by having all the doo-hickys on hand for you to use (then you don't have to buy one)!  



I am excited today because I have a doo-hicky (sorry couldn't resist typing it one more time) ordered and in the mail that I have wanted, wanted, wanted since I knew of it's existence.  This tool of course is the Sizzix BIGkick
Now most of you are familiar with Sizzix and all of it's wonderful glory, but this little mama is getting there & I simply can't wait for it to get here.  This little machine will be put to work quickly as we have 3 up-and-coming Studio Sessions this summer and the BIGkick is really going to make things happen. Check back for WW&W (when, where & what) we will be crafting!

Anyone have a "Did you Know?" or tip to share about any Sizzix tool?  As always we love suggestions for Studio Session themes or ideas.
