Martha, Part Deux

Ok, that was fun! As much as I had a blast with the first Martha Show Experience, sitting in my living room watching HER demonstrate how to make my project (now with video!) was just my speed. (Especially these days. Most times I feel like a chicken running around with its head cut off and the thought of flitting off to NYC on a moments notice was almost too much.)


The show is "taped live" in front of a studio audience. Some days, like yesterday, the show airs live. I am in the EST zone, same as New York where the show is done. So for me, I was truly watching it real time! The absolute BEST part was at the end of the segment when Martha looked right at me (er, the camera...but I have a really big TV, she was practically standing in my living room!) and said, "Thank you , Betz..."

Oooh! Goosebumps, I tell ya.

I also updated the shop yesterday with more Cupcake Pincushions and...finally more Cup O' Joe Pincushions...Martha showed this little valentiny cutie reminiscing from last year's show.

If you're interested, order soon as Valentine's Day is fast approaching! Last ship date will be February 8th...

That was a cute story! I just checked out the How-to on her site and she thanked you again. And I thank you too as I sat all morning finishing up a heart decoration with your book open to embroidery stitches. I'm glad you included those for late bloomers like me.

Stop at my blog and see what I made with my first felted wool. Love, love, your book!

So glad you are still "star-struck" I think you are amazing yourself, and Martha's show would not be so wonderful without contributors like you! I look forward to every post, and I wish you were still in WI like me! lol Can't wait to pick up the book!

Blair said...

that would be my preferred way to be on the Martha Show, as talkative as I can be, I'm sure I would be nervous out of my wits standing beside her! I LOVE that scarf, you are so clever!

Susan said...

I loved the "Thank you, Betz" at the end from Martha. I got shivers, too. Good work and cute scarf!

The Jen said...

Congrats again.

Thanks for the link! I was bummed I missed the Martha show when it was on. I showed my daughter and she said she wanted one for her birthday, so I guess I better get to felting and comply with her request!

Katy said...
