[ Cheers and applause ]
-Well, hi, y'all,
and welcome to Todd Taft's Odd Crafts Podcast.
[ Light laughter ]
I'm Todd Taft.
Now, on this show, we take a look at
the weird and wonderful world of D-I-Y knickknacks
that you can T-R-Y at home.
[ Laughter ]
Today, we're joined by one of my favorite crafters,
but it's his first time on the show and he's a little nervous.
So please join me in giving a warm welcome
to Carole St. James.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hi, Carole.
-Hi. -Hi, Todd.
-Thank you so much for coming on the show.
-Oh, I'm sorry, Todd. I'd shake your hand,
but my hands are just covered in Mod Podge.
-Oh, I've been there, Carole.
What do you have for us today?
-Well, my first one -- and this is really special to me, Todd.
-Huh. -This is a little pet sheep.
-Well, look at that. -And all you need to make these
are toothpicks, a cotton ball, and the secret ingredient.
[ Laughter ]
-Secret ingredient, what's that, imagination?
[ Light Laughter ]
-Those little googly eyes.
-Ah. That's precious.
Does it have a -- does it have a name?
-Well, that's the great thing about these, Todd.
You can name them whatever you want, because they're yours.
But this one is named Diablo. [ Laughter ]
Because he is trouble.
-He -- he looks like a rascal
that just wants to stay up all night.
[ LAUGHTER ]
He -- he looks like he wouldn't wear his seatbelt in the car.
-No, no. Not Diablo.
-No, you won't be counting him before bed.
-No. Well, let me put this little guy away
before my heart just melts.
-Oh, wow. I love this sheep.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-So, Carole, how -- how did you come up with your next item?
-Well, my next item, when I was young --
this is a great story, Todd. -Yeah.
-When I was young, my dad sat me down
and he gave me a can and some yarn.
And he said, "Boy, go make something."
-Wow. -So I came up with this.
-Mm-hmm.
[ LAUGHTER ]
Now -- now, what do -- what do you call that?
-Well, I'll give you a hint. -Okay.
-I was in "The Devil Wears Prada."
[ LAUGHTER ]
-Anne Hathaway?
-Close.
Can Hathaway.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Can Hathaway. -Hey, that actually reminds me,
I actually cooked something up after the new year.
And I think it's pretty crafty.
-I can't wait to see.
-Oh, well, you're about to see it.
I'm gonna see it as well. These are my fun glasses.
[ Laughter ]
-Hello.
Fashion police.
No crime here.
[ Laughter ] -Oh, well...
-They're pretty easy to make.
I just bedazzled a leftover pair of glasses
from New Year's Eve, 2008.
[ Light laughter ]
-I just love that they're vintage.
Hold on. Let me take a mental picture.
[ Laughter ]
Let me take another one. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
Where are these going?
-I am posting those on my brain Pinterest.
[ Laughter ]
-You can actually have your own pair,
'cause I made two of these.
[ Light laughter ]
-Oh, mylanta
-Try those on.
[ Light laughter ]
-[ Singing ] I can see clearly now that my glasses are on
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Stop it. You're too much.
I don't want my neighbor complaining.
[ Light laughter ]
Well, it looks like we're down to our last craft.
-Oh, what is it?
-Well, here's a hint.
It's cute. It's got fruit.
And it's perfect for your tiny commute.
-I give up. -Look at that.
-Look at that. -Look at that.
-I don't know what --
I didn't know how I was gonna make that.
[ Laughter ]
Ta-da!
Now don't be fooled because this thing goes "berry" fast.
[ Laughter ]
I actually -- I actually drank a 5-hour energy
right before the show.
[ Light laughter ]
-Well, I could just tell you were on something.
-You could, yeah. -I could.
I could tell you were on something.
-If it lasts longer than five hours,
I have to call a doctor.
-Well, I'll tell you what, that little car just took a DNA test.
-Uh-huh. -And it came back that it is
100% that kitsch.
[ Laughter ]
-You want it?
-Are you saying what I think you're saying?
-Together: Craft swap!
[ Laughter ]
-Here you go.
-You want that--
Oh!
Actually -- Actually I like it --
You think maybe Diablo can ride this?
-No, stop it.
-Look at that.
That's what -- that's what teamwork is right there.
There he goes. Look at him there.
-Wait a minute.
-Diablo's not wearing a seatbelt.
Someone call Nine-Fun-Fun.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, it's Diablo's world, we're just living in it.
That's all the time we have for today's podcast.
My thanks to Carole St. James.
Carole, would you like to join me --
[ Cheers and applause ]
Would you like to join me in singing out to break?
-Does a raisin get an -- [ Laughs ]
Does a raisin get an invite to a wrinkle convention?
-Here we go.
One, two, three, four.

-Thank you so much, Carole. It's a pleasure.
I know you have Mod Podge all over you, but this was great.
Look at Diablo.
Diablo, he's a little rebel.
He isn't wearing a seatbelt.
