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

That’s very pretty vegansrock.

Love the cards ginny and what a wonderful talent to have found just this year?
Tree-mendous patchwork vegansrock (sorry, couldn’t resist).
Are the pretty paper snowflakes easy to master please?

Instructions for making paper snowflakes in this article. V easy . Nice thing to do with the GC. You do need double sided tape though.

That’s kind, thanks for the link.
Stacey Solomon did printed gift wrap on her programme last night.

ginny Fri 16-Dec-22 17:48:29

Love those .

Both Ginny and Veganrock your cards are stunning and well done to you. I made patchwork cards years ago.

I had my cards printed from a painting I did a couple of years ago. I haven’t managed to do anything for this year.

I do like the programme but find Kirstie quite an acquired taste .

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.

Purplepixie Fri 16-Dec-22 18:33:22

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.

Thanks Purplepixie

I love her dresses I wonder where she buys them.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

FannyCornforth Fri 23-Dec-22 09:54:39

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

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

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

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!

JaneJudge Fri 23-Dec-22 10:41:24

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

Chocolatelovinggran Fri 23-Dec-22 10:44:29

Fanny, my bombshell dress is cotton.

Purplepixie Fri 23-Dec-22 10:44:45

Thank you.

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

That’s lovely vegansrock! Beautifully done.

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!

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
