Indy Style: Recycling & Repurposing

When I lead a weekly small group or a Bible study I love starting off asking the questions, "What was your high and low for the week?" I think it gives a quick gauge to how everyone is going. Well my low for the week was my kidney stones. Gosh those things are so brutal. Thank you for the many emails I received asking how I was doing and offering suggestions. I did pass it on my own so I did not need surgery. Thank you GOD!

My high for the week was getting the opportunity to go on my local lifestyle show, Indy Style this morning. It has been one of my small goals this year to get on the show so I was super stoked when I got the email on Friday asking if I wanted to showcase some of my Roadkill Rescue ideas. Many of you asked to see it so here it is… my six minutes of local fame. Smile

And tomorrow I will give you a sneak peak at how my Board & Batten bathroom is coming along.  I can’t wait to show you.  It is amazing how much character a little moulding can add to a space!

  1. Great job, Beckie!!! You are a natural. :)

    • Thanks Traci! It was so fun but totally crazy. Of course I was working on like an hour of sleep because I was so stoked. That is the nice big bag under my eye if you noticed ;-)

  2. wow, you were amazing, so natural and comfortable. I so could not do that!!! :)

  3. Awesome job! Love the address sign subway art too. I only have about 4 past addresses though for my hubby & I =) Love those chandelier projects too!

    Great job! Love the ideas! Our church just got new lighting, so I will have to see if we still have any of the old chandeliers… lol

  5. You did a wonderful job! :) Great on camera…the host seems really nice too…very down to earth. Great clip!

  6. Great job! You didn’t look nervous at all!

  7. Beckie, you did so good. You seemed so relaxed. I would have been a mess!

  8. Congrats! You did a great job.

  9. Well done! And thanks for reminding me that I actually started one of those Happy Meal wreaths back when I first started reading your blog. Must dig it out and finish it!

  10. Beckie! You did a great job! :) I would NEVER be able to do such a thing!

  11. Great job! I’m alway curious to hear what the bloggers sound like. It’s kind of like when you read books and create characters in your head and then see a movie made from the book and think “that’s just how they were in my head!” lol Maybe that’s just me. :P

  12. Way fun! Gotta say that none of the photos of you I’ve seen do you justice. You are even more beautiful on video! :) Fun fun stuff.

    Aloha,

    You did a great job! I didn’t realize that you were local to me or I would’ve DVR’d you :) Great projects to show!

  14. Great job, Beckie! You definitely nailed calm, cool, collected, and very, very fun! Huge congrats! (And thanks so much for posting the video for us to enjoy!)

    • Thanks Arielle. If you know me you can see my nerves for about a minute. Then I just got into it. It is easy when you talk about a subject you are passionate about I guess.

  15. Sorry to hear about your kidney stones. I also suffered from those several time in my early 20s. Not fun. It was worse than childbirth!

    Snaps for you for getting on the show!

    p.s. {start each day with a full lemon juiced in water at room temp….it works wonders at preventing stones in the future}

  16. Beckie, Good morning, you did a great job on TV. I don’t know how you come up with so many “Roadkill” projects. Amazing.

  17. I left a comment on your yesterday’s post but wanted to let you know that I am glad to hear you are feeling better and no surgery required.

  18. Awesome job! And thank you for not picking yourself apart on your blog. I hate it when people do awesome things like you just did and then come back to their blogs and pick apart how they looked or sounded! You did great!

    • Awww thanks that means a lot. Of course I did pick myself apart but only because I want to do better next time…{hoping there is a next time} I want to try and say 0 umms and no “likes.” but other than that I think the segment was very “me,” and I am proud of it ;-)

  19. GREAT job!! very personable & natural. they’ll be having you back, i’m sure! :)
    love the subway art too.. it’s actually a project in my to-do folder for months.. but haven’t gotten around to yet! {waiting on being able to get the silhouette!}

    • Oh yes the Silhouette is a must. If you use the code IHEARTIC right now to order it there is some special stuff that Silhouette throws in (fabric interfacing, heat transfer). But I will have a Silhoeutte special each month. Next month is rhinestones.

  20. Very cool! Neat to see you too.

  21. just checked out each of those posts –
    1. what a unique end table!
    2. cute garbage haha – love how you can make 2 completely different things from the same object!
    3. the subway art is gorg. even moreso because of the sentiment.

    love what you do!

  22. Yay Beckie! You did a great job! Love all the fantastic projects. You are amazing!! Glad you shared this with us.

  23. how fun, so glad u posted it so we could see…great job, you’re a natural!

  24. That was so awesome!! I’ve seen all your creative ideas…and love them, but somehow missed the toy-wreath. What a great idea! Fun to see you in person-ish. Thanks for sharing the link.

  25. Beckie you did great! I loved it!

    Small world! I’m new to your blog and when I saw the Indy Style post I did a double take. I am from NC but went to high school with Andy, the other host of Indy Style. How funny! Love your blog!!
