The Norfolk Craft Mafia is making our TV debut! We (we being
myself and
Amanda) filmed a little segment this morning with
Vanessa Coria from
WVEC Channel 13 about handmade gifts and the
Norfolk Craft Mafia!
I got an email last week from Vanessa saying that she was doing a story about holiday gift giving on a budget, she had stumbled across our website and wanted to do a segment about handmade! With a trembling voice I called Amanda and blurted out, "Do ya wanna be on TV?!?!" We decided to do it and I called all the mafia troops together to get some great handmade items to show off.
We filmed it all at Amanda's house this morning. Here she is getting mic'd up like a pro.
Vanessa and her cameraman (I'm so embarrassed I don't remember his name) were consummate professionals and made us feel totally at ease.
We had an awesome showing from our mafia members, who rallied so quickly to get me their lovely handmade items! We had mixed media collage by
Jeannine, handmade plush and a quilted pillow by
Cassie, more plush and accessories by
Charmaine, pottery by Ashley, knitwear by
Tasha, everything from tissue cozies to hair clips to plush by
Amanda and also a few of
my doggie items.
It was a great experience and I'm so glad we had the opportunity. The story will air next
Friday, October 19th on WVEC Channel 13 as part of their Daybreak show. Vanessa's segment is at
5:23 and 6:24 a.m. We will post the video as soon as it's online!
