I love crafting and learning how to do things myself. Saves money, saves us from having to buy something new, saves us from having stuff everyone else has, and it channels my manic energy. Wanna know how to do stuff or what crafters have going on?
It's pretty clear that I'm a big Etsy fan. If you haven't already spent time there, go!
Craftzine.com is an excellent site for all kinds of crafty how-tos, videos, and podcasts. There's a definite emphasis on re-using and recycling via paint and super glue. I love these particular entries:
The How-To Cupcake Pedestal
Craft Kitsch to Cool
Hand-Painted Hardwood Floor
There's also Craftster.org
with its rainbow doodling embroidery and tons of forums to peruse
Craft Gossip 
A blog about all the good G in the craft world
YouTube's Etsy channel is a great place for videos, including the How-Tuesday's Bleeding Vampire cupcakes vid!
Or Handmade Rubber Stamp 101, which is what helped me when I started making them.
Hell, if you are really up for wasting several days on the web, YouTube has an entire section called How To & Style. Think up something you want to do. Yep, there is probably a video here on how to do it.
So celebrate the coming fall season by shutting yourself away in your house and doing something crafty!
