I love watching these programmes. Anyone watching and being irritated by the large blurry yellow balls rolling across the screen ?

Just had a look at Samantha Sung. Very nice...

Yes, maybe some are polyester Fanny and some have poly linings. I'm assuming those are the stretchy, glittery ones or the cheaper ones...

Last summer they definitely had 100% cotton lawn ones, viscose ones and various silk ones (eg dupion ones and crepe du chine) as I tried some on and never wear poly. I seem to remember other types of cotton too as well as a wool one this autumn.

Some may also be mixed fibres of course.

I watched last nights gingerbread house programme on +1 and fell asleep midway for awhile. At the end I saw only three entrants and thought it started with four. Was I seeing things?

They announced that the fourth contestant had been unable to attend.

Thanks shysal.

Fanny, my bombshell dress is cotton.

Oh is it, sorry, I’ll give them another look then!
I must’ve been thinking of something else

Hello Jane! smile

tanith, same here - the cards are just beautiful - but I find Kirstie (and Angel Strawbridge) quite sickly sweet, affected and vomit-inducing!

I totally agree!

My Christmas crafts this year- a patchwork tree and some paper snowflakes.

That’s lovely vegansrock! Beautifully done.

purplepixie, I missed your card, it's lovely too

JaneJudge Fri 23-Dec-22 10:40:24

oh ginny and vegansrock, fabulous work!

I like the program but I find Kirstie so irritating and my Mother thinks I am like her!

farmgran Fri 23-Dec-22 10:38:38

Is it Kirsty Alsop? I really like her.
I hope that programme comes to NZ!

Sorry Esmay, I repeated you and others.
Bombshell dresses are all polyester envy

Lovely projects everyone 🙂

purplepixie did you have your cards printed professionally or did you do them yourself on a printer?

I did one Christmassy snow scene years ago which could be turned into a card, I think.

You can do it on Moonpig, I’ve sent you a pm Calli

BigBertha Kirstie’s dresses are by Samantha Sung. I love them too.

I really like Kirstie, she doesn’t annoy me at all - and I have a very low annoyance threshold, especially for female presenters.

Fenwick sell Samanatha Sung dresses .
They are expensive .

I also like Bombshell .

Haven't seen Kirsty wear Collectif dresses
Their fifties mode is very her .

I wear them if I can get them on sale .

One thing that I really like about her -
no silly diets and she's all chubby and natural !

NotSpaghetti Sat 17-Dec-22 08:45:22

I think they are often "bombshell" dresses Bertha

Look at the floral ones with a fuller skirt.

BigBertha1 Sat 17-Dec-22 07:15:18

I love her dresses I wonder where she buys them.

Thanks Purplepixie

I had them printed professionally. My son pointed me towards a company online and I have had several printed by them and have been really pleased with the end results.
