Podcast?

I decided to go for it yesterday.  I decided to try a podcast of my own.  I was so nervous doing it that I say "um," clear my throat and bump the table a thousand times.  I also had a hard time finding a spot to do this at.  I'm a working mom with three boys and lets face it, my house is a mess. I found a spot in my bedroom with good lighting and then realized after recording that the cord from the smoke detector we took out (and have yet to replace - I'm going to get on my husband for that today) was hanging down. But that's real life, right?  Well, here it is.  It's not perfect, there are some editing mistakes and like I said, a lot of "ums."  I also uploaded an unfinished video earlier, so now here's the whole thing!  Unfortunately, there is also a section missing in the middle (not sure what happened there), so if you feel like you're missing something, you are. I'll do better next time! :)

  1. Loved seeing you and hearing your voice. I'm not a knitter but it was so nice! Keep them coming! Sorry you've not had time for cross-stitching lately. I can't imagine working full time and having 3 kids. Kudos to you sweet Nicole! I work full time and have a hard time managing things with no kids at home. You're just one of my favorite stitch friends. Someday maybe we can meet!! XOXO

  3. Hey, Nicole! So good seeing and hearing you! Your work there is really pretty, but I'd expect no less from those magic fingers! It was hard to tell this was your first episode, so don't be so hard on yourself. Look forward to seeing the next one, and hope to see you live and in person again soon!
    🐰 Happy Easter Hugs! 🐣
