There’s some cool news circulating the internet today.
And it’s kind of a big deal. Check out this video to see what I mean. (And then join me in doing a little happy dance.)
Whoa. That’s me. And I’m talking about the real DIY Network. Yes, I’m Happy. Glazed over, actually. Speechless, humbled, self-conscious, and anxious. But I couldn’t be more excited to announce the union of me + DIY Network = <3.
As a contributor, you’ll see me posting on their website with real DIY projects made and used in my house. I think you’ll like what you see.
There’s more too. Out-takes.
For my first-ever beginning-to-end video effort, I spent a week filming on Pete’s Canon G12 and editing in (the surprisingly intuitive) iMovie. A full week of first-time filming means there were more mistakes than successes. See a fraction of them here, montage-style. Enjoy!
Studfest? Snort? That masking tape that I was inexplicably clenching? Hi. That’s me. I’m blushing and even more conscious now, but still happy.
And in addition to liking me on Facebook and following me on Instagram, do the same for DIY Network at @DIYNetwork and facebook.com/DIYNetwork.

OMG! I can’t watch the videos yet (I’m at work, but maybe on my lunch break), but still! So exciting!! Congrats! (And- will you still remember us little people when you’re famous? *wink*)
Thank you Cait! Can’t wait for you to see the DIYed videos!

Thanks Dave!
I am so incredibly proud of all that you’ve accomplished in such a short time. How incredible to set a stretch goal and see it become a reality!
Thanks Beth :) Couldn’t have done it without the great support I’ve received.
Congratulations!! I LOVE how excited you are in the video, so very authentic :)
Thanks Mallory! It was much harder than I imagined to be “myself” on video and not be totally flustery and frozen. It is NOT instinctive for me but I’m working on it! Glad you liked!
wowza! That is huge! A BIG congrats!
Thanks so much!!
Ahhhhh congrats!!!! That is so awesome, and your bloopers were cracking me up!! And for some reason I immediately thought of Cody as a character on your segments, like Chunk on Chelsea Lately…? Weird I know, anyways CONGRATS GIRL!!
Shucks, that’s one show I haven’t watched but I’ll look for a clip to see the reference! Thanks for the nice comment, Laurel!
Dude! I love how your blooper video is longer then your actual video.. cracks me up! Congrats!
Haha, and it could have been twice as long too. I did some serious vid-editing. I figured that people would want to watch through the goofy stuff longer than serious stuff ;)
Awesome! I heard you were doing something with diy, but not what exactly
Yay Emily!! Congratulations! So happy for you and looking forward to following you over there.
p.s. I love your videos! So excited and adorable.
Thanks Kirsti!! :)
Congrats!!!! Girl, you have earned it!!!!
Thanks for your support, Donna!
Congrats! That’s big news. Now that you’re fancy why don’t you start using Vimeo for your vids?
Congratulations! And thank you for including your bloopers…it made me laugh. Good to know you are human. And I love your dog!
Thanks Liza! Glad you liked the videos :)
