Boy, what a crazy week it’s been. If you follow me on Twitter, then you know I spent Election Day in the hospital while my husband had surgery. Now he’s home and recovering nicely. Thanks to all of you who wrote and asked how he’s doing! I have the best, most caring [...]

This week’s episode of “Top Design” is the one I’ve been looking forward to the most because they promised “Project Runway” alums.

The first thing you have to do is watch the opening credits (above). It’ll give you a little teaser of upcoming scenes from this episode, too. I bet [...]

Well, guys, here I am, broadcasting from my vacation because I just couldn’t stand to miss the second-to-last recap of the Design Star season. I’m not sure how well I can pull this off with “live TV” (I usually use my DVR to pause the show and take photos and write notes). But for you [...]
