Yup. They put me on national television. Silly.
Here's my how-to.
They edited it so very badly. It makes me cringe.
Likely the show will too.

the recorder is set!

i have butterflies for you.

i'm about to see margarita on tv!! woo-hoo!! (this better be better than "the people's court" )

yep. you were better than judge milian.

great job margarita. congrats!

that was sooo good, margarita!!! i liked the whistling. haha.

i wanna know why this darn lady from bismark gets two slots on the show... her journal-thing was ridiculous. nazis.

yay! so cool for you!

400 channels and no HGTV here. But a big congrats to you anyway, M!

Hope someone puts it on youtube ...

400 channels? wow. Come on over whenever, Keith. I have a tape:)
I don't even have cable, so I took a break from painting the house and watched at me mum's. They did a really good job editing those 12 hours down to six minutes. Much better editing than the how-to editing:) Not cringeworthy as I thought. And they made Turtle a STAR!!
They asked me to submit a second project,* but pretty much used the second project of the folks who took the shortest time to film.

*My submission was the hand knit chain I slid the pendant onto at the end.

yay... I get to watch it when I get home...

M and Turtle... both stars, in my book.

~fff

No cable here...I'm hoping for a youtube or torrent upload sometime soon

Congrats M

I'm so sad I missed it.

youtube!youtube!youtube!

I only have a VHS of it and it doesn't wanna fit in the CD drive.
:/
~m

just get a rubber mallet, it'll fit if you hit it hard enough.

My inlaws sent me a DVD of the show. Is there anywhere I could download it legally so those who wants to see can see?
Subtle innuendos follow,

Let's just ask David to see if he can edit out just your part into an MPEG or something...

well sorta, in most cases you tube will post it and leave it up to the © holder to request that it be taken down. but, if you do get arrested, we'll all come visit you in jail.

but seriously, i don't think its a big deal, there is a lot of stuff up there from bigger networks and i think as long as it's pulled if requested, it's not a big prob...

Once we get it edited, youtube's probably the way to go...

Ask and you shall recieve: Margarita's six and a half minutes of fame

gorgeous margarita!

Woo Hoo...nice!! Congrats. Can I have an autograph? T xo

That was so awesome!
That made me miss my jewelry class.

But really, great job!

That's awesome (and I'm not even into crafting... or whatever). Congrats!

edit to say... I just finished watching the entire clip...

You should have your own show. You're way more watchable & fun than those freaks I accidentally get exposed to on HGTV while walking through the family room. Serious business, they should hire you to do a show.

And the "whistling" was a nice touch...

Great stuff!

I love it! I love it! That's so much fun! And I saw your fling.

Do you have that on your website? You totally should.

yup yup.
They actually contacted me and chose what they wanted me to make from my website.
They also kinda insisted that I change it's title from "Homeland Security"
boogerheads.

Thanks for the kudos, all.
After that experience though I think I can safely say that Hollywood is not for me.

Cool little studio you got there. That kiln is like a tricked-out EasyBake oven.
