Realllly!!! Mmmm wonder if she got all defensive or loved up? Poor bloody robert bet he doesnt know who he's gonna get after working his are off all day as a Venture Capitalist in the city.....

ike1 · 02/04/2012 23:28

sorry that should be arse!

MissHilly · 02/04/2012 23:33

I think she got really upset by it all and the thread had to be deleted.

ike1 · 02/04/2012 23:38

mmm thems the breaks if you place yourself in the public eye and court celebdom.

Though sewliberated woman does seem a bit precious, I think the main difference between her and The Menlove (apart from Cherry's appallingly soggy and un-navigable website) is that she seems to have some actual quite creative and versatile crafting ability.

Cherry, on the other hand, mostly seems to ruin perfectly good pieces of antique mahogany by painting them white, vandalise otherwise serviceable paddocks and sew the sort of shit me and my schoolmates were making aged 12. Sorry if that's bitchy but I'm just not that inspired.

I'm also irritated by the fact that we never get to see a full-frontal view of her new house so we can judge it Grin

Stratters · 03/04/2012 10:30

I don't want to see a full frontal of anything Menlove. Confused

OTheHugeManatee · 03/04/2012 10:43

But I need to judge her house!

Talking of full-frontal Menlove ( Shock ) I can't be the only person who reckons this photo should be posted as a generic response to anyone who's going all SQUEEEE about something frankly shite Grin

NurseJennyLee · 03/04/2012 10:45

Bet her names really Cheryl.

OTheHugeManatee · 03/04/2012 10:47

Or Sherry Grin

Stratters · 03/04/2012 11:03

That is an actual squeee, captured on camera.

SuePurblybilt · 03/04/2012 11:07

Sherry, oh yes. Or Michelle.
She's another one morphing into Dorian from BirdsovaFevva, innit?

OTheHugeManatee · 03/04/2012 11:13

I bet she had the full Sylvanian Families collection as a little girl. Certainly it looks as though she's trying to recreate a Sylvanian Families aesthetic in her own gaff.

Stratters · 03/04/2012 11:15

That does bear a remarkable resemblance to The Paddock.

SuePurblybilt · 03/04/2012 11:28

Don't knock the 'Vanians

Stratters · 03/04/2012 11:30

I luffs the 'Vanians. Imagine the joy in the Stratters household when Angelina Ballerina and her cottage arrived, only to discover she was a 'Vanian in disguise.

may still have it

SuePurblybilt · 03/04/2012 11:37

DD has my 'Vanians, or some of them. The cuteness.

Stratters · 03/04/2012 11:40

I rather luffs the Playmobils for cuteness too. And The Ham Hams and Hello Kittys.

Loving Sylvanian Families is one thing. Trying to turn your own family into one is a whole different kettle of miniature plush covered squirrels in ugly clothes fish.

QueenMaeve · 03/04/2012 19:44

I was me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was me who innocently posted a thread saying, 'look at this lovely blog'. Then everyone proceeded to take the complete hand out of her. I compared it to the little porridge pot at the time, it just kept on going anD going. sTOP THREAD, STOP, I would shout, but on and on and on it went.The guilt, the guilt I've lived with for a year.
I am partial to a bit of Cherry to cheer me up. I know some of it is for the camera but it is all very pretty. It has become a catchphrase between my sister and I if I make something nice or buy some thing, 'oh thats very Cherry'.

carabos · 03/04/2012 19:50

I've never heard of this person, but surely "Cherry Menlove" is a pseudonym Grin.

LucyGoose · 03/04/2012 20:02

MissHilly - little ranch wife PW has made somewhat of a dent in the clogged celeb cook market here. She has a show on Food Network, waiting to see if it will be renewed for next season. And she's been on the Today morning show several times. But her recipes are really god awful, too many are made with tins of this and that.

MissHilly · 03/04/2012 20:21

QueenMaeve lol at the guilt for a year! I agree sometimes looking at these things gives a complete sense of escapism. You should check out the What Kate Wore page on Facebook, it's hilarious, the lengths people will go to copy Kate Middleton's look - then they post pictures of themselves in said outfit thinking they look just like her. Thanks LucyGoose will check out the recipes for a laugh.

QueenMaeve · 03/04/2012 20:41

MissHilly, I know! Grin

ike1 · 03/04/2012 20:52

Thing is I reckon Menlove is going for the Kate look, that dress she is wearing in the 6ft pic of her for Sainsbo on her fb page is tres Middletonian, and the hair!

MissHilly · 03/04/2012 20:57

Funny you should mention that, she even has her hair done in the same salon as the Duchess.
