You guys, this is CRAZY.
I’ve been trying to take it easy since my last post. Well, it’s never easy, we both know that, but I’ve been sitting well with the mentality that it’s ok to take some time to just let myself be. It’s been bittersweet to be honest. The break is nice, focusing on the girls is wonderful, but I’ve missed the reward that comes from talking with you. From sharing. Whether it’s crafts, a new recipe or just the randomness of our crazy life, it’s nice to share it with friends.
Sometimes even if you have the desire it isn’t enough to get you to jump back in. Sometimes you need a good push.
Be careful what you ask for!
This morning I was saying my prayers while I showered because hello, it’s seriously the only quiet time I have to myself & I asked God to give me a way out, a path back if you will. I remember a verse that says something along the lines, “He’ll always provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” I know I’ve got that a bit wrong but bear with me. That was around 8am. At 9:30am my phone rang, it was a producer from a local TV station asking if I was available to do a crafting segment with them tomorrow, on Christmas Eve! WHAAAA???! I know I’ve mentioned on here that having the credibility to actually teach my projects on television is a dream of mine, I honestly had put it out of my mind & was completely content with blogging for the sake of conversation with you. To have it just handed to me, just like that, out of nowhere & at a time when I needed something to push me back into work. All I can say is, ‘WOW.” It’s crazy right? I really need to have more FAITH.
So that’s all I can say for now, I just had to get on & share the good news! If you’re a DC peep than please watch my segment tomorrow, it’ll be around noon on “Let’s Talk Live” on Channel 8. This is all so last minute I’m seriously going bonkers trying to get a few projects together & figure out how I’m going to make myself look somewhat presentable. What the heck does one wear to do a craft project on TV on Christmas Eve? I’d steal P’s ugly Christmas sweater but he gave it to Miley Cyrus. Doggonit Miley!
(btw, nicest girl EVER. With P’s job we meet a lot of artists & it’s usually a quick hi, handshake, bye but Miley was a down to Earth, polite, sweet girl, who knew right?)
If you want to craft along tomorrow I’ll be making these pom pom pomander ornaments as well as will share Baby’s First Christmas Reindeer Footprint Ornaments, Christmas Memory Globes & Stuffed Ornaments!
Now I just have to remember, ‘don’t say poop, don’t say poop, don’t say poop’ You have no idea how often that word finds it’s way into my conversations.
Oh! And thank you so so much to Susan from Crafterhours for getting pregnant, moving & not being able to do the segment herself. And you know, for recommending me. That’s a true bloggy bestie. (:
Congrats Natasha! I’ll definitely try to watch it!!! Woo-hoo!
Congrats and good luck tomorrow! Really glad to see you post something, gosh I’m a needy, selfish blog audience 🙂
Not much makes me smile when I am up feeding my 5 month old at 12:45am….
But this takes the cake! I can’t stop! So excited for you!
OMG, congratulations! I’m so super excited for you! Another saying this situation reminds me of is “God is never late” is that a saying or did I just make it up? Regardless, this all was in the plan for you, HE just had his own timing for when and how it would all go down. We have to believe in HIS timing or else we have nothing.
Fun fact, as soon as I read it I thought “I wonder what is she going to wear?” LOL, Total girl moment right there! I’d go Christmas-y chic 🙂
Sadly I can’t gather all the materials in time to follow you as you create the baby’s First Christmas Reindeer Footprint Ornament (maybe you’ll make a post showing us later?) but I’m def tuning in and DVR’ing it to give my support (TMI but my lap and hands will be busy anyways feeding the cutest little newborn boy you’ve ever seen! Well, I think so anyway :))
Congrats again!!

Congrats Natasha! Definitely tuning in 🙂 Have a Merry Christmas!!!
This is spectacular! Congratulations!
Awww…yay! Congrats! That is so exciting. God works in the craziest ways sometimes.
WOW, Nat!!!! Congrats. God is good all the time. 🙂 I’ll definitely be watching!
Hooray! Break a leg! And go ahead and fit a “poop” in there, just to entertain the folks that know and love you. 🙂
So exciting! I just called my husband to record it for me 🙂
I’ve got it on DVR! Supposed to be studying, but I’m thinking it will be a nice study break, right? Good luck Natasha, you’ll be great 🙂
I love the ps at the end. Also, I love that Miley is so down to earth. Who knew is right! Have a blast girl! And make sure you smile. I did a craft thing live online once, and I was getting texts from my friend. “smile!” ” you’re so cute, you’re rocking in, smile” lol Apparently I kept forgettting to smile. hahaha
Oh man…I wish I was back in DC already! I’m guessing it was a great segment. If you’re ever able to, could you post video from it here? I would love to see it.
5 months. I’ll be back in 5 months and be able to see your bright face on tv then!
How exciting! Amazing how this all worked out for you on Christmas Eve! I missed it on TV but was able to watch online. You did a great job! You’re a natural!
aaaaahhhh I’m so excited for you!!!! I’m not DC, I sooooo wish I could see the segment! Good Luck, I know you’ll be great!
Congratulations Natasha! I missed the segment as I’ve been under the weather and am NOW going through emails. Hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas holiday! -Iva
So awesome that you were on TV! And man, I thought Susan and I were buds but I can’t say that she’s ever gotten pregnant for me. Now I’m all emo.
