specials and promos for NBC, ABC, Discovery Channel, HGTV, DIY and Food Network. Programs such as Rachael Ray, IVillage Live, View From the Bay and the Florence Henderson Show have featured Cathie as a “lifestyle expert”.

Just two years after stepping in front of the camera, Cathie was nominated for two
Daytime Emmys. (With the category company of Martha Stewart, Emeril Lagasse and Paula Deen.) Her nominations were for Outstanding Lifestyle Host and Outstanding Lifestyle Program. In addition to being nominated, Cathie was a presenter for the 34th and 35th Daytime Emmy ceremonies.

Cathie is the author and project designer of 4 books. 101 Tees (Summer 2011), 101 Snappy Fashion, Bow Wow WOW! and Creative Juice – 45 Re-Crafting Projects. All books are published by Lark Books.

In January 2011, Cathie’s invention Hot Glue Glue Helpers, a line of tools for working with hot glue will hit the craft shelves. Look for them at all the major retailers and craft stores.

Cathie Filian grew up in the Midwest and has been getting crafty since she can remember. She began sewing when she was 8 and her love of stitching followed her all the way to college, where she studied Textile Science and Fashion Design at Ohio State University. In her senior year, Cathie was awarded the Outstanding Senior Design Award.

Before stepping “in front” of the camera, Cathie worked in the film business creating
costumes for films such as Rushmore, Twister, Heartbreakers and Vanilla Sky. She has styled some of Hollywood’s leading ladies and gents.

Cathie lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Eddie and their dog Max.

    Hi from Adelaide South Australia. Love your show as I get many ideas for gifts. Please advise where I may be able to order shrink wrap paper similar to what you used when making jewellery discs and where Steve made a mini baseball bat. Can not find anything here in Oz so am happy to order from USA. I only need a few sheets to make discs for gift cards. I may also try to use them for earrings. Thank you and I hope Foxtel pay TV here in Oz continues with your show. Love it. Cheers Maria Adamczak, Allenby Gardens, Adelaide, South Australia. maria.adamczak13@bigpond.com
