Welcome to Episode 6 of “The DIY Dish!” While this decorative garland was made for Halloween, the same technique can be used for ANY occasion! Take a look!
Here are some more photos from this week’s project!
We’d love to see what you are making! Don’t forget to post your photos to our Facebook Fan Page or to Flickr. 
If you’d like more garland/bunting ideas for your home decor, you might be interested in our latest ePattern called “Adorn.” It is now available for instant download at www.YouCanMakeThis.com.
We have some really fun and exciting news to share with you!
Imagine our reaction a little while ago when getting off a phone call with a producer of The Nate Berkus Show! We can’t quite spill all the details yet, but we can tell you that we will be on his show NEXT Wednesday, October 27th!!
Are we nervous? YES! Are we excited? YES! Do we wonder if we’ll look completely goofy? ABSOLUTELY! The nice thing at this point is that it has already been taped and now we just wait for the 27th! Yikes!
If you are unfamiliar with Nate Berkus, well, let us just tell ya…He is one amazing designer! So much, that he was THE interior design guru on the Oprah Show for 8 years! He has such a good heart and is just like you would imagine him to be in person – very real and down-to-earth. We’ll tell you more next week.
Nate Berkus now has his own show and it is full of inspiration! You will love it!
We would be so happy to have you be a part of our experience next week! Click here to check your local listings and to find out what time of the day and which channel it comes on. Of course, we’re not sure how it will all be pulled together in the end, but you will see a glimpse into our personal lives, a “challenge” Nate gave us, and then finally a segment in New York! It was our first time being in NY and we LOVED it!
Have a wonderful week everyone! Which state or country might you be watching The Nate Show from?

I’ll be watching in beautiful Eastern Oregon.
I will be watching from southwest Virginia. The list in your reference says the time will be 4:00 pm but I have satellite Direct TV and found the show on 10/27 is at 11:00am on the local ABC channel 36. I set my DVR to record it so I won’t miss it.
Actually, I had never heard of Nate Berkus but while searching to see if his show is available here, I watched some of today’s show and he is terrific.
I’m watching from PA and can’t wait to see you.
How exciting and Congrats!!
Watching from western Maryland and very excited to see the show! Congrats!
That is so great to hear that you girls will be on the Nate Show! It is about time you girls get recognized for the great creative ideas that you come up with! I will be watching in West Allis, Wisconsin! I wish I could be in the audience just in case you girls give out some great goodies! I am looking forward to getting some bright, trendy fabric for those awesome yo-yo’s!
Have fun!

I have only recently discovered your website but have already found several cool projects and lots of inspiration! Congratulations on your adventure with the Nate Berkus Show! That is incredibly exciting – you should be very proud!

How Cool! We’re having a new dish installed this week so our channels will all be different but one of the first things I look for-after which one is the Disney channel-will be where I can find this show-can’t wait to see you! So awesome!
I am so excited for you! Can’t wait to see the show.
Awesome news. I’ll check the station finder so I’ll know where to find Nate in my neck of the woods. So cool that it’s already in the bag and you can sit back and relax and wait for the air date.
Congrats!
My Mom and I love Nate! Thanks for the head’s up. I checked the listing and she gets the show. I don’t think I do here in Costa Rica but will have to do some more checking. I hope I get it! Maybe I can watch it online.
