Ok, first off, I have to come clean with the fact that I bit off more than I can chew deadline-wise and don’t have CRL done for you today. I suck, I know, but bear with me–Dave and I are going to try and pound it out over the next coupla days so it’ll go up this weekend. Stay tuned!
This week, Bungalow 3 (the production company for the LifetimeTV.com crafting segments I’m hosting) descended upon mi casa. Lifetime’s going to be launching this section on their site for Holiday crafting with 5 different hosts (with completely different styles from each other) showing how to make projects for: 4th of July, Halloween, Winter Holidays, Valentine’s Day & Spring. My dear friend Crafty Chica was kind enough to recommend me for the Needle Arts Expert, hosting position. My segments will cover knitting, crochet, machine felting, basic sewing & punch embroidery. It was so much fun doing these, and really nice having a production crew come to me for a change. Here’s a few snaps from the 2-day shoot:
Halloween segment set-up, in my kitchen.
Cameraman Brian, shooting the close-ups of my hands, for the crochet project.
Hi, I make cheese-ball faces and have monstrous, fake eyelashes! At least my Valentie’s Day Naughty Secretary Club earrings are cute!
Producers Lisa & Jamie, setting up the Christmas set in my living room.
Brian, getting a “beauty” shot of my punch-embroidered project. Apparently the ghost from Christmas past is visiting in the lower, RH corner of this shot.
The first of these videos will go live on the Lifetime Television website on June 1st. I’ll keep you posted!
i’m sitting here, taking a break from frantically racing against the clock to finish my projects because lisa will be here at 9 am. i forgot they have to decorate for christmas! oh lord i need to dig out the tree along with all the other things! glad it went good for you, your pics are adorable!!
no worries on getting the podcast to us a bit late … as long as at some point we get it, i’m sure no one will mind! besides, having your house invaded by the ghost of christmas past is enough to make anything a little belated!
Hi Vickie – cool about your new Lifetime shows and fun photo shoot at your house – thanks for sharing!
I’d love to interview you for my Girlfriendology podcast (all about inspiration, appreciation and celebration of female friendship). I recently did a podcast with Carol Duvall (I did her show a dozen times and she’s great!) as well as Kate Jacobs, Debbie Macomber, Kathy Cano Murillo, etc.
i can’t wait to see the new videos. they look interesting and fun. i love your pink metallic tree!

#tbt October 2019. That time when @madebylondon and I both had @abramsbooks published at the same time, and crocheted murals of our covers to take on tour.
#latergram Sure, we’re all knitters and crocheters over on Stitchwell Social Club, but those aren’t our only topics we delve into as a community. The first discussion of our Feminist Book Club — moderated by member Mylynka, a history and gender studies professor — focused on the 17th—century fuel behind the Witches of Scotland timely, modern-day movement. I can’t wait for the next one!
This book club is accessible through all levels, including the free plan, of Stitchwell Social Club membership. Join us today through the link in my bio, or by going to http://www. vickiehowell.com/stitchwellsocialclub 💃🏽
#2008 Once upon a time, @lifetimetv hired me to design and host video tutorials for a few, holiday-specific craft projects that ran on their website. These photos are from the shoot — our then home — for the Halloween-project episode.
I credit digital media for much of my ongoing career, but my heart with always be handmade and in print. From my hands to yours, I’d love to snail mail you a copy of my new monthly publication, 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗲 — the printed companion piece to the supportive, engaged and inspiring community and (virtual) event space, Stitchwell Social Club. This zine is printed as a limited run based on monthly membership numbers. 𝗧𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲, 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟴𝘁𝗵. (Subscribers later in the month will get them on a first come, first serve basis while supplies last.) As always, thanks for supporting this independent creative-type. It’s y’all and me against the lack-of-personal-connection world!
