Blog surfing today, I read a rant about the way that we no longer make do. We have such a surplus that we no longer really have to find creative solutions to problems, we can simply go about following the recipe, never having to substitute an ingredient in life. The blogauthor wrote this:
"Make! Do!
A Way of Life
A Manifesto
Get by with what you have - resist the urge to upgrade.
Embrace a Depression mentality.
A good kitchen sink dinner is more praiseworthy than the best ingredients shopped for and assembled by rote.
Make do - but also Make! and Do!
Limit options and it will expand your creativity."
