Hey looky lou! Click on the image above to see! That's l'il me on a big ol' flyer for the Grand Opening of the new Michael's Manhattan! Check it out! And if you inspect further you will see that my meticulously cut out image is located one degree away from the doyenne of all things domestically divine, Ms. Martha Stewart!
Oh yeah, I'm near Martha! Smell me!
Uh, on second thought, maybe that's not such a great idea. How about you just say, "YAY!"
Who cares if Martha and I are polar opposites. We both love cooking, crafting, decorating, entertaining (okay so I don't do that so much but I still love it in theory) and having exotic chickens. So we've got all that in common! That and we're both going to be at the Grand Opening of the new Michael's Manhattan, albeit on different days. Oh and if that wasn't enough to get your knickers in a flurry, Ed Roth of Stencil 101 will be there and so will Megan Nicolay of Generation T...and the delightful Michael's spokeswoman Ms. Jo Pearson all on the same day before Martha arrives. I feel like a Crafty Rock Star!
Maybe Martha will sit in the same chair I do! Maybe I should leave her a hand calligraphied note taped to the bottom of the chair in a pretty repurposed vintage glass jar with a handcrafted label made from old book pages and my Cricut Expression. Maybe she'll see my smiling face on this fabulous flyer (that has my name spelled wrong but that's okay...) and she'll say to herself, "Gee Martha, who is this fascinating and enigmatic Margo(t) Potter person and why haven't we had her on the show yet? Hey there assistant minion person, get on this stat!"
Maybe her producers will call me and invite me on to show Martha how to open and close a jump ring, make a fun Teen themed craft and whip up a delicious low fat multi-grain macaroni and cheese followed by the two of us singing a duet of Let Us Craftertain You! Then we'll go shopping for designer shoes at Barney's followed by a nosh at a posh restaurant.
After that I'm sure I'll get Martha's private cell phone number and we'll text each other cool craft ideas every day! She'll be my new BFF! Or maybe my new frenemy...how do you spell that anyway?
Oh the possibilities! Oh the excitement! Oh frabjous day, calloo callay! I'm one degree from Martha!
If you're in Manhattan on October 25th, please stop by Michaels between 4 and 5pm and say howdy. I'll be demoing fun mixed media jewelry making ideas and you can see a host of other great demos while you're there. Oh and if you know Martha, do tell her Madge said, "Hi!"
xoxo

Madge, you ARE a Crafty Rock Star-- and as for you new BFF status with Martha....well...good luck with that! Have fun at the opening, and thanks for the morning chuckle!
LOL...you really made my gray rainy morning more bright with you ROCK STAR GLAM! Hope Martha doesn't want to be tooo BFF...you might develop into someone so different & bland that your true self.

YAY, you!!! It's just a matter of time before the planets align and you're rocking some cool craftiness with Martha! :-) H.
YAY!
Rock star? That you are, Miss Margo (with the extraneous "t"). The Divine Miss M(artha) could do no better than to have you for a BFF and a regular on her show. I don't watch, but that would certainly have me tuning in! Of course, Martha would have to interject her hand made doilies and the right way to apply glue...but you would be showing us the way too much fun way to get messy and creative!
I like your idea of the note....that would be ridiculously craft-astic! Do tell us how that goes!
You make me smile in so many ways... and if I were only closer to that Michael's I would hop on over... maybe I will just have to go to my local Mike's and pretend that I am all abuzz about seeing your sweet smile!
Kudos and caloo callay to you!
Enjoy the day!

Hi there!
My son is friends with your daughter and I just found your blog from a FWD email!
How very cool that you will be in NYC with MARTHA!
I have always dreamed that her producers would ask me to run with a new crafting show for their channel!
Would be a BLAST don't ya think?
I love your work! Will be bookmarking you!! And following you on Twitter.
Have fun in NYC!
yay for you!... Thanks for such a fabulous and entertaining post. Say hi to Martha from me! LOL
I'm so jealous of your new brush with fame...can you get her autograph for me when you become BFFs? :-)
Crafty Rock Star - that you are!
I wish I could get to NYC to see you both next weekend. Good luck!!
And you will let us know when your new BFF wants you to appear on her show, won't you?
