Before you read about our adventures with Martha be sure to enter the three amazing giveaways brought to you by Plaid, EKSuccess, and Provocraft.
We were thrilled to get the invitation to visit the Martha Stewart Show live and in-person. Martha’s staff was amazing, and we got lots of special perks for being in Martha’s “Tech Section.” We got a special tour of the set, premium seating (we got a lot of camera time!), and permission to blog and tweet during the show.
Craft Critique hosted a tweetchat, which you can find here (#mscraftwk), which was fast-paced and very fun! Our friends from BurdaStyle, CRAFT, and Handwerk BKLYN joined in the fun from the audience.
The set was full of energy – staff members buzzing around making things look perfect, camera guys capturing all the right angles, and Joey Kola keeping the audience hopping during the commercial breaks. Between all the off-camera activity, the quick set changes, and our furious tweeting and blogging, it was almost bewildering at times. That hour sure went quickly!
The staff at the Martha Stewart Show couldn’t have been more gracious or accommodating. These kind folks always had their game-faces on, and we could tell that they all thrived on the fast pace and close quarters.
Last but not least we snapped a picture with Martha herself! She was super nice and cheerful and we were so grateful she took the time. We don’t have a copy of the pictures yet… But when we do we will post them here!
Thanks all for sharing in our adventures!

How I would love to craft with Martha for a day and have access to ALL her supplies, and then be surprised to received one of everything to take home! One could dream right? Thanks for sharing your experience!
WOW! Thanks for sharing. Must say those bright lights would give me a headache, but I would deal with it to craft with Martha!
A great breakdown of the non-craftbeer drinkers. I know some people from each category. I’m going to try your suggestions with some of them.
Looks like you have fun!!!
