Interesting first show…Congratulations !

Hi Iris! You can actually view the first show on our website! It is on the homepage. Thanks for asking! If there is anything further we can help with, just let us know! -Kris
Really enjoyed your first webisode!! Can’t wait for the next one! GREAT JOB!!
Cute ideas. Love the fact that I can watch your show when ever I want to – and over again!
I enjoy your show and your blog. Looking forward for more. Good luck.
Thanks for the comments on my blog, and flickr! (6diamondsintherough)
I was wondering if you guys are going to be using wooden spools anytime. I have about 30 old empty spools that my great aunt sent me and I have no idea how to use them!
thx,
Amy
P.s. What does DIY stand for?
Cute! Easy!! Fun!!! I love doing crafts with my grandchildren and the youth at church. This will be a hit. Thanks
Adorable! Adorable! Adorable! Love the show!
Adorable! Adorable! Adorable! Love the show!
Great show. Love the look of these pin cushions.
You are so fun! I’m glad I’ve discovered you. I love making pin cushions and had never thought of using felt in the center. What a neat idea! To Amy–if these are old thread spools just put them in a glass jar and display them in your sewing room. Again, congrats on your show!

Love the show! What fun! How do we enter the contests?
Loved your show and your projects! Will continue to watch.
I am glad to have found you beautiful girls. I am excited to learn from you. Are you twins or just sisters? Yeah, my first thought is that you were related to the Osmonds, but I believe they are a family of mostly boys. But you are even more beautiful than Marie. Thanks for the information. You are fun to watch.
loved it…can’t wait to try it…thank you!!!
You girls are so fun! I loved watching your first episode and look forward to more!

Loved your first episode. I heard about it from the http://www.youcanmakethis.com email and glad I followed the link. I will be making both the pin cushion and the flower! Thanks!
Just watched your 1st episode of DIY for the 2nd time and I just loved it that is why I had to watch it again the 2 of you make it so much fun. Would love to win one of Heather Bailey pin cushions kits or an embroidery machine which I have been shopping for. I took my husband last weekend to look at the JANOME emboidery machines. Can’t wait to own one!!! Keep up the great work!
Those cake pin cushions will make a great gift for the seamstresses I work with at the bridal shop!
Just finished watching your first show. It was fantastic!! You girls should really be proud of what you are doing to help us out here. Thank you.
You girls are just too much fun to watch! Best Wishes.
You two really have created a fantastic group of DIY websites. I love how natural you both are and think it’s great that you are eager for feedback and are ready to adapt. I was thinking I’d make it a goal to do every project when you do your webisodes, but if I heard you right, you said you’re going to do them weekly? Ackkk! I’m going to be busy (and maybe even productive!) It would be nice to do something with my fabric…besides just buying more. Thanks!!
Hi. I really enjoyed your first show and will be looking forward to the next one. I am a teacher in Saudi Arabia (American teaching at an International School) and I would love some easy craft ideas to do with my third graders! I especially loved the turtle pincushion!
Thank you for sharing your talents and enthusiam for products and projects. I will be sure to watch future shows.
I really love the cake pincushions. But I can’t take my mind off the big one. Any instructions for it? My daughter wants to have a tea party and she thinks that will be perfect. And I agree with her. I can see so many uses for the larger size layered cake. Thanks again for all you have done to inspire us all.
What a fun show! I’m envious. Only suggestion I would have from a technical point of view is to have a few close ups as you demonstrate your projects. Looking forward to more.
I loved your recent episode, cake pincushions. It looks easy to make.
Love the cupcake pincushions. easy to make as well, great gifts too…
Loved the pincushions, I think we will make a few of those.
You are so friendly on the show.
You make everything so easy! Can’t wait to try this project. Thanks so much!!!
Hi girls……WOW……. you girls totally rock.. I have just stubmled across your site and am super excited with you two. I live in the outback of Australia so getting my hands on quality crafting can few and far between.. not any more!!! so a HUGE THANK YOU!!!! P.s would ove to go into the draw for the Heather Bailey prize.. is this possible??? not sure if internationalls can enter the comp.. Once again thanl you for the inspiration..

Love the webisode!! Great job. Loads of fun. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Great idea to follow up with answers to questions.. I am looking forward to watching each week!!
Hi Kim and Kris! I love what I’ve seen so far! Love the pincushion idea and although I was sketical, thought the pins were very cute! Who would have thought shrinky-dinks could have so many purposes. I have a comment or suggestion, if you will….I’ve noticed in both of your instructional videos that often you show something you’ve done (for example, when you drew a flower to make a pin) you hold it up to show, but don’t give a close up of it. I’m not sure if you are using a tri-pod camera or if someone is taping you, but it would be helpful if you could show close-ups of the things you are showing. You did do that window pop-up of the pin through the shrinky-dink…that would work too. But when you just hold things up to the camera when it is so far away, we can’t see it! Thanks for sharing all the great ideas…I’m looking forward to more!
what a great job girls ! loved the show and the pin cusions are adorable.
I love it. I can’t wait to try the pin cushions for my smocking friends. What a great idea! I am a crafter at heart and just love this idea.
I just loved your show, and think you had a lot of good comments and ideas from others.
I do Custom Embroidery and love to take time just for myself.
Your show is going to be my time to get away from it all, and just do crafts that I love to do for Christmas gifts. It is a fun way to shop for friends and family that also like handmade crafts.
I look forward to your next one, and would like to thank you for spending your time with others.
I do like the clock showing how easy, and how much time it takes to do a project.
You girls are great.
Loved the first webisode. Keep up the good work and thanks for the second helping too!
Thanks for the show. it was great. The second short tape was also good. I really enjoyed your show. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Hurrah! More, we want more! All of us are loving this…too much fun. Ann
Thanks so much! This is a lot of fun and can’t wait for more!
great show can’t wait for more.
You gals are great! Thanks for the update on the magnets & the candle holders!
I have enjoyed your wonderful episodes.
Thanks for giving us such great ideas!
I think you girls are doing a excellent job, keep up the good work, and thanks for getting rid of the annoying clock tick….
I love the Pins and can’t wait to try them!!! Thanks for the great episode!
Just finished watching DIY Dish Episodes 1, for the second time. I was as impressed as the first time. Your Second Helping was also very informative. You both are naturals in front of the camera. The project was cute and your instructions were simple and easy to understand. Thanks for doing this for us!
Hi I enjoyed your show again. The only problem I had is I had my volumn turned up and had trouble hearing you. This didn’t happen last week. Thank you Mary
You girls are doing great-love the show-definately will have to do the Shrinky Dinks with my granddaughter.
Love your show and all the neat craft ideas. Thanks for taking the time to do this for all the craft lovers.
I can’t wait for your next show.
Thank you girls… love your shows and ideas. I think I’m going to be pretty busy.. you have the best ideas. Keep them coming. I also like the kitchen table after show.. it great that you answer any questions we might have.
You can make some really beautiful and interesting dolls by stringing empty wooden thread spools. They can be painted or have fabric for clothes and yarn for hair glued to them. You can use a spool for the head or attach a large wooden bead and even small wooden beads for hands and feet. Glue dots for eyes or mouth or just paint them on the spool or bead. Hard to find wooden spools to make them. Count yourself lucky to have so many! They used to be so plentiful–like flour sack clothes. 8:o)
Love the show, I’ve watched it several times. I am trying to make the pin cushion look like a cake, but it is going slow. I love the idea of the shrinky dink and the pins, and the flowers. I simply love your show, thanks.
like the pincushions,i’ll have to try those
