Hi Martha,

I really enjoy your show, and I watch it whenever I can. I went to your website to see if I could get tickets to your show and I started reading your blog. I really enjoy reading it because of its fun and spirited personality. It gave me the inspiration to start a blog of my own. Thanks for the inspiration Martha!

Martha I know you enjoy teaching but honestly I find you more fascinating than all the things you teach.

I love seeing your house. And all those details we might not get to see. Love the Blog idea.

I have 60 thousand friends on myspace, and only 4 top friends, you take up one of those spots.

[Joseph]

Martha,
This is why I love your blog.We learn so much in just a few snap shots of yours.We can see your wonderful faux bois wall technique and all the wonderful meal ideas.Plus how to use stone in the landscape plus protect our ornamentals with burlap.I love you Martha

[Allison Denali]

Thank you for sharing! Eli is looking very cute!

Hi, don't know if I'm in the correct area but I just have to tell you that I bought the large metal casserole (red one, VERY heavy). I just love it an it had the BEST ever packaging. Nothing could ever damage this product!! You should be very proud. I also got the hard boiled egg slicer and it is the best engineered egg cutter around. Very solid an well put together. Thankyou sooo much for your wonderful attention to detail you are a master!! I also bought the two sized tongs and love them!! Don't know how I ever got along without them. I also bought the magnetic measure guide and use it all of the time. Thanks for doing what you do and doing it sooooo well!! Linda Pesce

Martha, It is such a treat to see snippets of your real life. I do enjoy the snapshots of your activities. Thank you for sharing.

[Timothy Edwin Minerd]

Thanks for sharing all the details of a great weekend. I especially love seeing how produce grown on the property is incorporated into your menus, even in the middle of winter!

And vodka cocktails with kumquats? Sounds like a stellar combination!

[Ingrid Moyle]

Martha, what gorgeous horses you have and I adore the stables - I remember the Thanksgiving you held in your stables! And the dogs look so cute in their woollen jackets - understandable considering that enormous drop in temperature you experienced. The colour of your house is also exquisite - we're looking to repaint soon so I'll have to see how I can replicate that beautiful colour on my home. Such a calming colour will be perfect for the hot summers we get here in Melbourne, Australia. You obviously had a lovely weekend. Look forward to seeing you later today on TV. Thank you. Ingrid

Martha:)
Thank you so much for the pictures and the look into your life and into your home and farm. The food looked so delicious and the fact that a lot of it came from your cold frames and green houses made it more so because of the freshness.
And thank you for another look at your beautiful horses. They take my breathe away just looking at their pictures.
Also thank you for introducing us to so many of your friends. Eli in just adorable and the men are so handsome and very interesting. Talking to them must be so stimulating.
I learn so much about you each time I read your blog and it is just one of the highlights of my computer time.
Thank you again.
Linda Gail

Hi Martha, Wow, what a fantastic weekend you had! Your photos of the wonderful food and all of your glorious friends are really beautiful. I especially love the photos of Charles. He is such a handsome guy and I don't think I've ever seen a picture of him when he wasn't smiling. I can sure see why you care about him. Thanks again for sharing. Jan

[Colette]

Who is that gorgeous child? I want to reach into the picture and get a cuddle!

I'm so glad you're blogging!

[Jon]

Hi Martha,
Absolutely love seeing all the happenings at your Cantitoe Farm. It seems to get more beautiful all the time. I think the farm has been one of the best things to ever happen to you. Your face lights-up when ever you talk about it. It is a 153-acres of "blank canvas" to which you can express your very creative talents. Can't wait to see more.
By the way, gorgeous table—from the gilt china to the
fabulous food.
Take care,
Jon

[Elizabeth Gage]

I'm new to reading the blog after subscribing to the magazine and consulting the web site for some time. I want to echo the notion that it's fun to hear your personality shine through your comments -- even more genuine-seeming than on tv. Thanks for lots of inspiration.

[Janet]

Hi Martha,

I love the photos of your weekend at home. And, I love how you allow yourself to be photographed at home without all the special lighting and make-up. You are beautiful the way you are. It shows you are truly willing to share some aspects of your personal life and aren't putting on a show.

[Jackie]

I love your face in the 2nd picture on the blog. It is so pink, shiny and clean. I can't decide who looks cuter - you or the baby. :-)

XOXO

[robin ball]

Thanks for the photos of the evergreens wrapped in burlap. I have moved from a zone 5-8 to one that is 3-4 and have been looking into what I can landscape with. Learning new words like sunscald! Your groundskeepers do a very professional wrap. Thanks as always.

[Kathy]

Martha,
Thanks for sharing your photos of your weekend of entertaining
---and just living! I enjoyed all of them. The meal, including food grown on your farm, looked delicious. I was happy to see Francesca, Sharkey, and your horses as well as views of the trees and buildings and landscape.
Congratulations to Charles!
Hope you enjoyed Westminster.
Kathy

Hi Martha,
I love the photo of you and the little one.
Thank you for blogging, I check it everyday.
I also blog and I really enjoy it, it keep me in touch with family and friends.

[Tirlittan]

Thanks for sharing you photos again!

[Angela Berthelot]

Hello Martha,
I watch your show every single day and I have learned so much from you. My mother and I love your Food recipe books and often make one of your recipes.

I love reading about the personal side of your life also. We would love to hear more about you and your friend Charles...

I hope you continue to offer your show and all your great ideas. I love the idea of a Martha Stewart Shopping Center!

Keep up the great work.

Angela

[Lina Tenaglia]

Martha, you are the best show on TV I am sure that you have heard this many times before, but, I think that a lot of young girls today should make it a rule to watch your show, it would make their life so much easier, because you teach organization, cooking, relaxing, hobbies etc. and I just cannot stand it when some of my friends I am (59) years old say that they are bored, I never have enough time in the day to do all the things I see on your show. LOVE THEM ALL.

YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I HOPE SOME DAY I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE YOU LIVE ON YOUR SHOW.

SUGGESTION: WHEN WILL YOU COME TO CANADA SPECIFICALLY (TORONTO)?

[Bonnie]

Martha,

I've never seen such great beauty and life inspiring pictures as these. My eyes were literally watering, thank you. My goodness I wanted to reach out and grab one of the sorbets, the coloring gorgeous, you are surrounded by blessed things in you life.

[Monica]

Martha,
Your china is so exquisite. What is the pattern and maker of those beauties? Thank you for sharing the photos.

[Jenny]

Dear Martha,
I think you truly are an inspiration and such a gifted person. Your show keeps on giving, so many great, fresh ideas and recipes. Your pic's are very enjoyable, I especially like the "nature" ones. What a lovely environment you live in, thanks for sharing.
Jenny
p.s. I think you and "pawpaw" look very similiar, it's a "good thing".

[Susan O'Brien]

Martha,
I was very happy to hear the results of the big idea bake-off on your show today. As evidenced by the overwhelming vote for Alexis' idea of a publication with recipes for people with food allergies or sensitivities, there is a real need and market for this type of publication. Therefore it was a real shock to me that you have decided to develop the second place idea based on pet projects. I love my dog but am very disappointed that those of us who have family members with celiac disease or other allergies are not viewed as marketable. In my opinion there is a huge market for books, prepared food products and a magazine focused on food allergy topics. A few recipes on your website just doesn't cut it. This certainly is a missed financial opportunity, but more importantly your company could have engendered the good will of thousands of us who were hoping that Alexis' idea would become a reality. Sincerely, Susan O'Brien

[Trish]

I love these pictures Martha and thanks for a close-up of the green room. I'm still in the planning stages of doing the same thing in one of my rooms. I hope I don't mess it up! I was exhausted from hearing about your weekend but I managed to stay awake to watch the rest of the show today! Gosh, don't you ever get tired? Trish

[Pat]

Thank you for sharing pieces of your personal life with us. I know that must be hard when you are always in the spotlight anyway.

[Helen Pompilio]

I just love this blog, how beautiful and well done.
I am impressed with the set of china dishes that you used for your dinner party at your house this past weekend. Please what is the name of the design and the maker. I would love to know.
Thanks for sharing the photos of your farm and home. I also love animals and have several pets. I enjoy seeing the pets in your photos.
Best wishes to you and your staff for Valentine's Day.
Helen Pompilio

[Kim Wylie]

Thank you for the glimpse of your busy weekend! I really enjoyed the pictures, especially your random snapshots of the property on your way back to prepare for dinner. Apple trees really are beautiful, with or without leaves.

I've also got to say, dinner looked delish!! I'll be waiting on an invitation for the next one. ;)

[Lydia Fiedler]

Now Martha - how did you get that baby to match your living room!! :)

You are such a cool woman! I have some friends at CHA this week and they are RAVING about your new glitter ready die cut shapes - I CAN'T WAIT!!!

PS - your craft knife is the best tool I've bought in 20+ years of papercrafting, and when I showed it to my father in law this weekend he confessed that he watches your show every day!!!

Thank you!

[Charlene Austin (Willow01)]

I love, love, love your blog. I love seeing little bits of your home and property. It makes you so real to me. I am such a fan! In fact you and I have spoken on the phone before. Remember when you gave the live back stage tour of the green room, craft room, kitchen to the "Viewer Mail" person? That was me! It was 2 years now this February but I still brag and tell people. LOL. Have a wonderful day, Martha!

[Charlene Austin (Willow01)]

Oh and I am a card making fanatic as you might see by my blog and I LOVE your craft line. The punches rock, the paper is stunning and craft tools! To die for. I can't wait to see what you come out with after CHA. Did you go this year? I remember seeing pictures of you there last year.

[Ginger Engler]

On one of your shows you showed a recipe card with your Moms picture on it. Is that a program you can buy or download. I would love to do that with some of my familys recipes.

Thanks,
Ginger

[ande]

Martha, It's hard to read about your life when I'm on a diet. What an awesome w/e of great friends enjoying life with the most beautifully prepared food . . . yum! What's the deal with Charles' scarf atop his head? Am I missing something? It wouldn't be the first time.

[Kathy]

Hi Martha,
I was just wondering if you ever let the public come see your farm. I would love to bring my grandaughters to see your donkeys that were on the show. They are fans of yours and I know that they would enjoy seeing your animals. Kathy

[Tanya H]

I enjoy seeing the way you set such a beautiful table. I would also like to see the day to day table settings. How many different settings do you have and where/how do you keep them all.
Love your show and products.

[Cretta Burchard]

My Gosh!
Do you ever just sit and relax?
I LOVE the horses.
Thank you for sharing all you do.
Cretta

[Monica]

Hi Martha,
When I read your blogs and see the photos of your life and home, it makes me want to cry. You are so wonderful! Thanks for making "living" so enjoyable.

[Barbara Lezcano]

Martha,
I have been a fan of your show for years. I would tape your show and watch it when everyone went to bed. Something about your voice is very calming to me. My mom never got to teach me what you need to know about the everyday functions in life. So I starting watching your show and I can say my mom would be happy to know that her daughter had the best teacher. One of these days I hope to be on the show. I'll have to sit in the back because I'll probaby cry.:)

[Cynthia Wagoner]

Dear Martha,

Thanks for sharing information on your blog. I did not know what a blog was until you explained it on your TV show. It certainly is very interesting to know more about you, your family, and your home. Thanks again.

Cynthia Wagoner

[Leslie Johnson]

Dear Martha,

I just discovered these blogs tonight, and I've enjoyed going through a few entries. Reading them has helped settle my day. Thanks for sharing this personal side of your life. I noticed, in one of the photos of a February weekend, a brass table on which tea was set out. Although I couldn't see details of the table, it looks as though it might be very much like our brass tray table which my husband inherited from his grandparents. I'd love to find out more information about such tables.
