Alicia and Carly, It’s 2am and I want to sew something! You guys make me so excited and are very inspiring!
Thank you so much for mentioning me on your first episode with such kind words!
Alicia, I really enjoy watching the show and learning more about Carly. I love how you guys are both very relaxed, it makes me feel relaxed watching you.
Great job ladies!
Already subscribed and will be looking forward to the next episode!
Yay, I’m so happy to hear that. I hope everyone comes away with the same feeling. Also, I want to give you a big hug for saying we looked relaxed
Thanks so much for the interview, Alicia!! It was such a pleasure talking with you and finding such a kindred DIY spirit! LOL
Now watching myself back I really wish I had gotten my Skype display to work so I could have sat up properly – I realized I was leaning over to look in the iSight the whole time!! Argggh.
Great job with the editing – will be posting this on my site tomorrow!
Have a great weekend!:-)

Haha, I didn’t notice you were leaning though I felt like I looking like I might lean in and swallow the computer at times! I thought you looked great and I bet everyone who watches will agree.
This was awesome. Can’t wait to see future episodes.
I subscribe to Carly’s blog and love her DIY projects. Carly is incredible. Her tutorials are very easy to understand and follow. Also, what I love about her blog is that she is personable and down to earth herself and doesn’t mind replying to some small blogs like mine
I listened to the entire interview and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks so much, Alicia, for doing this.
Maya (a.k.a. Soccer Mom Style)
Thanks for watching Maya! You are so right, Carly is amazingly personable- I could talk with her all day! Thanks for watching.
Awww, thanks guys for such kind words! You are all so sweet!:-D And Maya, your blog is definitely not small…you are on the up-and-up!!:-D Thanks Natalie – for saying I looked relaxed – I was super-nervous LOL
Can’t wait to see more video interviews with other DIY’ers..so excited!!
