When I was on Martha

Martha is tall and beautiful with glittering blue eyes, and it was a wonderful experience. Martha asked me very specific questions before we rolled like "How did I learn to sew" and how much bulk I buy and cost breakdown.

I looked inside many of the cabinets and drawers that you see on the set. They really have supplies in them and they are as meticulously organized as your fantasy imagines.

I had an online store for my necklaces at the time and have since closed it. I no longer make these necklaces. I literally sat at home and sewed hundreds of these in the weeks after my appearance. I would make a laundry-basket full, then package and ship the orders. I wouldn't let anyone help me.

Thinking about making them makes me want to throw up. But wow, I love her and I'm thankful that I've got crafty street-cred for life.


I appeared on Martha Stewart on January 19th, 2007. I applied to be on the "Teach Martha" segment of the show while trying to get me and my 20-year pen-pal on a talk show for a fun reunion. Within 2-hours of them receiving my samples & press-kit, they asked me to send in a demo. video. My graphic-design training at HSU helped me make a great faux-press-release and they put me in the "yes" folder until the February 2007 InStyle magazine had a Louis Vuitton necklace just like mine that retailed for $850.
January 10th around 6pm they told me I was for-sure going to be on the show. Sunday the 14th I would fly to NYC and on the morning of the 15th it was taped. Seeing myself on the Front Page of www.MarthaStewart.com was the most exciting feeling of my life. My segment opened with Martha showing the LV version and then stated that I make them for less than $2.50 each. This was fact-checked by my segment producers. I was totally calm and they actually made me drink a coffee to combat the "low-energy" state that I was in. The producers prepared me so well that I could do this craft in my sleep. If you would like to watch my segment, here is the link to it on Google Video.
