Previous NEWS:

On Thursday, November 2nd, 2006, I was filmed for a segment on the HGTV show "That's Clever"!  I created a box similar to the one above for the show, which will air sometime in the near future.  It was very exciting to have to have a director, producer, camera man and sound guy in my tiny studio/craft room.  We shot 6-7 hours of film for a 6 minute segment.  I cannot wait to see how it turns out.

Check back this fall when HGTV will let me know when the segment will air!  Probably sometime in April 2008!
