One of my fav craft people.






No matter where you are in your life, change is one sure constant. As a result, life can be seen as either consistently chaotic or happily adventurous — it’s up to you.

Called the “Queen of Crafts,” Carol Duvall of Home and Garden Television’s (HGTV) The Carol Duvall Show has certainly seen her share of changes yet maintains a positive outlook. As the 10-year run on her series comes to a close, I sat down with Duvall to talk about creativity, change, and how she balances her life.


“Even though I really enjoy making things, I’m not that much of an artist,” says the host, who became an integral part in shaping one of the first original programs on HGTV.

Before there was such a thing as dedicated crafting stores and products, Duvall was simply using her creativity to fashion original objects out of bleach bottles, egg cartons, and cereal boxes. “That’s where my mind still goes when I have a project to create,” says Duvall. “I think ‘What do I have in the house?’”


Having been in the television business for over 50 years, yet not wanting to reveal her actual age, Duvall has never let risk get in her way. “My life has been one opportunity after another, and I have just said ‘yes.’ An opportunity can be seen as a challenge, but I was always willing to accept any opportunity and challenge.”

Early on in her career, Duvall lived in California but her heart was always at her vacation residence in Michigan, her home state. But now she permanently lives at her once-retreat, traveling to California only to tape her show. She says that this Michigan home gives her the peace she always longed for.

“I have a wonderful, new craft room. Also, winter or summer, I have my morning cup of coffee in my outdoor hot tub. When it’s snowing outside, it’s fabulous...even if I have to shovel a path (through the snow) to get to it.”


Duvall has regularly taped dozens of episodes each year since the series inception, making for nonstop work. The series has now filmed more than 1000 episodes.

Speaking about what she does to maximize her downtime, as an avid reader she regularly keeps up with Newsweek, Time, the New Yorker, and reads mystery novels. “At my home, I don’t have a lawn or garden. I’m right on Lake Michigan, and I like sitting near the water.” For Duvall, the looking out across the lake gives her a sense of home and serenity.

Because she is always on the run, she doesn’t like to take breaks. But Duvall’s producers have insisted over the years that she take a break once a week for a massage. Duvall believes that the regular massages have helped her stay strong and well.

Up until a few years ago, Duvall was a regular downhill skier. After hip surgery, however, she says she needs to get back into regular exercise, something she has struggled with for years. “I do not get the exercise I need. I never have. I have been promising myself that for many years. However, I don’t use the excuse anymore of ‘I don’t have any time.’ We all have the same amount of time. Obviously, I don’t want to do it bad enough.”

Family has also been an important part of Duvall’s life. After a daughter-in-law died a few years back, no one wanted to spend Christmas at home because it was too sad. So, moving forward, they decided as a family to go on a cruise up the Amazon. This year, the family will go to New York for the holidays. And, with an adventurous spirit, the next trip might be to Antarctica — seriously!

Duvall continues to accept new opportunities. And, once her show finishes this fall, she will transition to the Shop At Home Network. Expecting to have a little more personal time on her hands, she says she would like to work on projects she has been procrastinating — scrapbooking, organizing important family documents, and writing another book. With an attitude that precedes everything she does, “I appreciate every glorious day.”
