Kirsty's Handmade Crap

[minko]

Don't usually watch this but cannot believe that her cushion with the roadkill 'hare' on it won first prize, much less 'best in show'! FIX!

I know, what a fix! Mind you, the alpaca cushion and '3d item' were pretty bizarre....

What I really hated was the way she pronounced 'Naomi' and 'Nyermi', though!

Total fix. Her cake won last week as well. No doubt her flower arrangement will suddenly come together and will win best in the universe ever next week - but I won't be watching.

I don't think the other entrants have an 'expert' showing them what to do. It's all bollocks.

I have gone right off her and her patronising matronly manner. Am going to boycott Location, Location too.

fix fix fix!

I would be fuming if I had entered the show for real.

I hate these programmes that imply that celebrities are another breed of people who are just better at everything than normal people.

Oh yes... we've not had a Pedlar's thread in ages!

Her cakes may have won, but her card making skill didn't get her anywhere last week so I don't believe that it is a fix at all!!!! I think the judges appreciated the simplicity of her cushion and the fact that is was a traditional piece, and not 'out there' like most of the other entrants offerings

I do love Kirsty- but this was a fix, anonymous voting my arse. But she didn't win anything at the Welsh show last week (the cakes were the week before). There she was utterly mortified that her crap embroidered card, and rings made out of old books didn't win anything. I fact, she was very sore loser about it all. (I will admit i was secretly pleased!)

Her cushion was rubbish- there were sooooo many better things on show(I liked the little girl's alpaca wool dog!)

I do think the judges might have picked up a tiny clue which one was Kirsty's entry from the way the camera crew will have hovered around them when they were judging it....

Her lousy cake won, too.

Totally rigged.

I would love this show if it was presented by someone else.

Location, location makes me want to scream. I actually wrote in to C4 to say that it was sickening how unsympathetic that show is wrt the financial/property crisis. Give up Kirsty we've had enough!

Don't you have your 'Forever Home'?

Bet she has none of this 'shite' in her own home.

I want her to make something that you could actually use/ want.

Hare cushion - random embroidered cards. I watched the full Homemade home series thinking yeah this will be fun but unless you have a friend with a glass making factory/ jewelery shop you are right out of luck.

I honestly dont care if it wins best in show...or best random paper ring (who would EVER WEAR IT).

Yes it was the 'forever home' couple down in Surrey that made me particularly mad. I missed the start so I didn't see how they managed to finance their £800k home by their mid 30s...The bloke was positively creaming himself about how envious their friends would be of their fireplace. What a tosser and shame on C4 for bringing us this shite.

Has anyone seen her range of stuff in M&S??? Whatcha bet it's all made in China...

Its a bit Recession? What recession?

I wonder how much the other contestants were paid to keep smiling.

That cushion was bland and dull - I agree the little girl's dog should have won - full of quirky character. And the big fuss she made about stitching on that bloody hare! Looked amateurish and not in a charming way.

Noticed one of the judges described it as 'naif'. Yeah, right.

I thought she might make a speech, like when she won the cake. Er no one else made a speech, Kirstie - not compulsory.
Someone must have held her back.

LOVE the title of this thread

My friend was there and entered the competition.....he is not bitter and said there was some pretty amazing stuff.....will ask if he thought it was rigged all of us thought he should have won

ooh was he the beardy cross stitch man?

Yes!!!!
He's a FAB bloke does loads of "different" styles of cross stitch...some of them almost like graffiti style
