A fun memory: My first diy...

Aww, how fun was that? Isn't it funny that we probably wouldn't do it nowadays. I wonder in 50 years what we won't be doing anymore that we are okay with DIYing now, Thank you for sharing!

We lived on a farm in Europe and my sister who was just a 2 year old could always be found taking a nap using the cow udder as a pillow. The cow obliged in every way.

My first DIY was a shepherd's staff. I carved it so I knew it was mine. Also I made a pair of sox for my sister. I was about 6 years old.

My first DIY was embroidering a sampler with the supervision of my grandmother. I still have it and it is horrible, but it was a start.

I did so much DIY as a kid I don't know what I did first, but I do know at 8 years old I helped my dad build a playhouse for me, and I learned to install windows, go up on the roof and install singles and use a table saw- something patents probably would not let an 8 year old do now! It was a wonderful playhouse with electricity and heat! and a storage loft!

I don't remember my first DIY, as I am an avid crafter. I do however remember teaching myself to crochet. Now I make afghans as a hobby.

My first DIY was at the age of 5 and it was to piece a Nine Patch quilt top. Not sure why it was called that -- all the pieces were about 3" squares -- bunches and bunches. Wish I knew what happened to it. I lived with my grandmother and she taught me to sew on a Singer treadle sewing machine, taught me to cook and embroider. And to be frugal and honest. My brother and I often talk about the "good ole' days". We were poorer than church mice (homemade summer sandals from fabric), but we lived in the country and so were all our neighbors. A great time!
