Kirsties Homemade Christmas

I enjoy watching, but it's really too late in the day to start crafting a lot of these things. Maybe it does inspire people to start a new craft.

I love the programme, but rarely take up any of the crafts featured. I agree that the competition winners would not be my choice either.

Last night my favourite to win was the field mouse on a candy cane. Sadly it didn’t.

I absolutely loved the scrap metal reindeer last night.
Kirsty can be OTT at times but I enjoy seeing the creations.

I watched it with a growing sense of disbelief last night!

The paper Christmas tree - I thought who has time for that? Then I thought me, perhaps, if I got off GN!

The parcels filled with home-made confetti? What was that all about?
There's enough mess to clear up on Christmas Day without adding to it.

Bonkers but fun.

Oh! I don't want Christmas to come too fast. I don't want it to be over.

Not all, but some of the judges look like they've raided the dressing up box.

.

I enjoy it; the end products, the contestants and the judges. A pleasant afternoon's viewing.

Judges?
Was I watching a different programme?

Callistemon, perhaps you only watched the 8pm programme last night. The judges were on the daily 5pm shows which are in their third week.
I agree with those who liked the metal reindeer and the field mouse, and thought the confetti ridiculous.

It's such a great programme but I always pick the wrong one to win, or maybe the right now. Last night I wanted the mouse on the candy cane to win.

Kirsty is an acquired taste I think.
I love her one min then I've had enough of her the next!

I couldn't watch any of the previous series because it felt like the program was pandering to over indulged childish adults!

I had this image of Kensington yummy mummy's getting their au pair's to 'nip out' and buy everything pre cut, glued and painted etc,. Then making them assemble said craft and showing it off to their girl friends at the next coffee morning with a 'Voila! Something I prepared earlier!'

Over thinking it a tad?

In the main I agree with Callistemon enjoyable but totally bonkers!!

Now if the confetti was exchanged for fivers I could understand it!

BTW I didn't catch how the paper snowflake Christmas tree was made, or how long it took, but the finished article did look good

Yes, I was flicking through programmes last night shysal so it was probably halfway through the 8pm one.

good luck

Totally bonkers but good fun!

Callistemon .....I know you have a great sense of humour, but I'm not sure if your pulling my leg here

Although it did grab my attention once I started reading the article, and I sort of thought what if....????

When I die the kids will find thousands of unfinished paper snowflakes in the attic, and I can imagine their reaction
'what the flippin' 'eck was she up too? Proof if ever it was needed, that she's lost it!!'

Allotmentlil … yes I agree

I've nearly finished mine
The one on the programme was, I think, 9 ft tall

So there will have to be holes in the ceiling where tacks or some contraption holds it up?

Stop me now, I'm pondering how it works....that's a bad sign!!

I love all this, and think oh, I must try that..never do, though.
Was it last year she tie dyed knickers? Squealing all over the place “ ooh, these would cost at least fifteen pounds in the shops “
? I don’t think so, Kirsty ?

I'm not sure.
They don't show minor details like that!
Or when the ceiling starts to come down
