Martha
What to say about Martha's new show? I'm going to keep watching it, at least, hoping for some good craft content. The shirt-folding trick was neat the first time, but did we really need to see it twice? It seems a little too contrived and regressing to the mean. I want to see the beautiful, excessive Martha projects, not boring stuff anybody could do. Maybe they'll get to them and only the first week will be so celebrity-ridden. Time will tell. I do feel like the magazine's gotten better lately, though.

I would have been much more impressed with the t-shirt folding thing if it hadn't been on the internet forever (http://www.jengajam.com/r/shirt-folding) I'm wishing they'd go back to the Martha Stewart Living style of show, instead of making it The Ellen Degeneris Show with recipes. Meh. I'll just keep TiVo-ing it and hoping there will be something worth watching soon.

I was just thinking I need to get a subscription again. And I can not figure out the shirt thing.

I really struggled with the first show - glad I wasn't the only one. Maybe I'll give it another try next week... *fingers crossed*

Glad I'm not the only one. I haven't even managed to watch more than 10 minutes at a time. Relaxed natural sounding conversation has never been a strong point for her. Telling people what to do - that's what she good at.

And she probably would have told me to check my comment before I pressed Post. That should be "what she's good at"
