craftyhunnypie Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I looked at the book today Kirstie Allsop Crafts. £20 at Waterstones - will do a search online later before buying. Loved the rings, loved the paper embroidery & I really want a go at paper sculture. Imagine a sculpted chicken. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I've only watched the last one and didn't like it. She looked knackered and I wasn't keen on what she had made! There are a lot of crafters out there to whom crafting is their life - I think she was naive to think she might get placed at a show! I love making things - but no way are they up to show standard!

Olly Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I have to agree - the stuff she made was good, I'd be pleasedto have made that card - but compared to the hours of embroidery that had gone into the others, it did look as if it had been run up in an afternoon, which it had. I really loved the sculpted bird, and yes I had thoughts of chickens, too! Where's the sellotape dispenser, I have lots of newspaper ... I daren't start another project at the moment, I have too many UFOs. This is the first one of these I've watched, I got rather cheesed off with her last series where she 'learned' various skills and then left the professionals to finish the job and so I decided not to watch this. Having see the papercraft one today and seeing that she is actually doing all the crafts, I'm now hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 At least she personally finished something though, unlike the previous series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I have only seen part of her making the seagull (lovelovelove)and the end of the cakes one (her eclairs looked very delish) as I keep being interrupted grr I shall (try to) watch it tomorrow I think. From what I have seen she does look very tired. I saw an interview with her and she did say the cake one she was up all night before the comp baking etc which would explain it. I do think a lot is expected of her by the programme makers. I love her enthusiasm for crafty things and quite a lot I have though, now I'd like to try that! Possibly a bad idea. Don't want those UFO's breeding in the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Crafty fingers will be quiet at 8pm. We'll all be watching Kirstie! Can't wait to see what she's making this week. Anyone know if she's doing a Xmas show this year? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Erm.......1st and Best in Show?? - I felt so uncomfortable for the others who had better exhibits - the word 'fix' sprang to mind. It was nice but I don't think it was good enough for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It had charm but didn't show expert skills just a lot of experiences put together. The felted Yorkshire in a cup showed far more creativity and flare. The other contestants must have been miffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rats! - did she cover needle felting last night? - I thought it was going to be all about sewing so didn't watch - I'll have to catch the re-run!

Sue There wasn't much on the needle felting (which I love and so want to try) tbh. But you'd need to watch it again, if only to see how cute the terrier was awww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I agree it was a 'FIX'!!!!!! It was a very pretty cushion but come on 'best in show' I didn't even think it was that pretty! There were other more beautiful and complex exhibits in the background that they didn't focus on. I can only think that she won because she showed a range of stitches, which is what she was criticised for not doing on her greeting card last week. On a different note, I loved the alpacas (would love some) and my cat Mia was fascinated by the kittens at the ad break and tried to search for them round the back of the telly.
