Plum Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Wonder if Ygerna was successful in being chosen for the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Sorry, I watched the last series and it drove me mad ... I do like Kirstie, but it was all a bit too false for me. I'd like to see her really doing some sort of craft, not playing at it while someone else does the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 It is all a bit contrived isn't it, but I still like watching. I've set it to record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 That stained glass looked such fun to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygerna Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hello Apologies for not posting these days. I am simply very busy with life and don't get much laptop time now However, I've popped in this morning and thought I'd share some of our experiences. Getting the kitchen and dining room done on Kirsties Homemade Home was an awesome experience. She is absolutely lovely in real life, very genuine. Being involved in a TV production is quite an eye opener. What you don't see on the show is how many people are involved in each part of it. You also don't see how many times you may have to do the same thing and you don't see how much standing around there is whilst cameras and lighting is set up, or relocated to do the shot again from a different angle. You also don't get to see just how much work it takes to do each craft. You only get to see snippets of it but, we really did have to make the item, under the guidance of the craftsperson. The stained glass segment yesterday would have taken at least a day to film and they would have cut each piece of glass and lead themselves. Unfortunately it has to be cut down, the filming of our show was done over a period of about 3 months, with each craft or show visit lasting from 6 or 7 in the morning until 5/6 in the evening. Very long days but also lots of fun. Some of the crafts that we did were amazing, and both of us have a favourite that we'd like to try and take a course on; If only time would allow. The professional people we were lucky enough to meet as part of the crafting days were amazing. Their enthusiasm for their personal craft is inspiring. Watching them work and being allowed to work beside them as they shared their knowledge was incredible and the items that we made are amazing. We see, or use them every single day. They are unique items. I really enjoyed the Antiques Market day and we got some fabulous, fabulous things which we use everyday. Another thing which you don't see is that Charity Shops are visited for some of the smaller 'dress' items used to finish and dress the room. Again we still use lots of these items and I actually love the fact that they are charity shop items. Some of our household items and furniture are from charity shops anyway so we were familiar with them and the bargains they can hold even before the show.

Ygerna Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 You'll know which is me. Much was made of my girls and I was filmed feeding them and letting them out into the garden to roam. Thats assuming that they didn't edit that out of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 That stain glass was amazing-I'd really love to have a go! Ditto! There isn't anywhere near me that does it though ( I might have to see if there is any near my Sis in law and then we can do it together when we go to visit.

Christian Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 The local craft centre has a shop that sells light catchers/candle holders etc and they run classes. Might have to look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Brilliant, I shall be even more 'glued' to the set now. Looking forward to seeing your episode Ygerna. I love Kirsty. She is so plummy posh I thought they did too many crafts that they had already covered in the first series though. Hoping to see some new things this time.

Ygerna Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 We've been told that we are the last episode in the series, 7th December. I shan't say which crafts we did though, but, suffice to say we were given the opportunity to try things we'd never get chance to do in an ordinary day. I am still very much into crafting things. One of the reasons I've popped back in today is to try and get some ideas of things to make for christmas this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
