So, Who’s The Blonde?

My daughter was born in November,  I stayed home alot after we got home from the hospital. She was the most beautiful little baby in the world and I was head over heels in love with her. I always liked watching PBS television and would watch home crafting and cooking shows when I could. I remember one day I was feeding my new daughter canned formula from a playtex disposable liner bottle, while she was in her pampers. I was still in my pjs…..don’t think I combed my hair yet , for sure had not showered and turned on the tv. There I saw a blonde woman speaking so nice and calm,..could not make out her accent or where she was from. She was pretty and really looked nice and she was making doilies out of paper….I don;t know what for, but she sure made it look easy and did  a great job. After that she went out into the yard or garden and was picking up twigs and such, brought them inside and made a fabulous centerpiece for the dining room table. I could do that I thought, burping my baby doll. Now she was making chicken broth, throwing out the chicken after the broth was made and adding another chicken to make the soup….I’m thinking who is this chick?? I was obsessed. I remember always looking for the show…still not knowing who she was and whenever I would find her show by chance, I was so happy !! She was always doing something fab….made magic with felt…..what this woman could do with a glue gun….. costumes, invitations, christmas ornament and cookies , I was amazed. I struggled everyday trying to come up with a dinner, pasta with something, oh and of course a salad and I would throw in a loaf of italian bread and butter, spread it all out, fill the table. Be happy you never saw the way I gift wrapped Christmas presents…real sorry sight. As the years went by, I would always ask if anyone saw the show, while I enjoyed watching this woman and then it turned out she grew in popularity and alot of people got to know who she was. Turned out that the crazy blonde on tv was Martha Stewart, the one and only. Alot of people may not like her,and even though I never did make a centerpiece out of garden twigs … I still remember that mystery women from way back when…..I like her still.
