Martha Stewart's Crafting Blog

How do you know that an underground movement has gone completely mainstream? Two words: Martha Stewart. From the gal that brought the art of homekeeping out into the open, comes a crafting blog that spotlights crafting (sometimes known in my family "that stuff" as in, "Can you get that stuff off the dining room table? Company's coming") and puts the focus on the department that creates the projects from her magazine and shows that are the real reason we are drawn to her again and again...

The goal: to provide us with a peek behind the scenes at some of their stories, inspiration, favorite sources, as well as some of the projects they are personally working on. Looks like we'll have to find another spot to eat at in our home. To see what's going on, click here.

Yes, I admit that I do watch Martha Stewart while on the treadmill. There is something inspiring about decoupaging with 50 cent...what that inspiration is...escapes me. Its not exactly an inspiration to act or craft.

Martha's magazine had crafts when most people in the DIY crowd were in grade school. "Main stream"?

Palmetto is right. I was getting "Martha Stewart the Magazine" since I was 13 and I remember trying to (unsuccessfully) make some of the crafts for my friends and myself. That was over 14 years ago, I'd say she was more like the person who really refined it and set a much higher level.

So true. Crafting underground? Mainstreaming? Oh to be so young and so arrogantly uninformed...

Martha pretty much popularized crafting with her original show. It was just Martha and the occasional craftsperson. I liked it so much better than the current, post-prison, celebrity-filled version currently on.
