Kirstie's at it again- who's watching?

[littlelamb]

I'm watching from mty sick bed and her fabulous coats have cheered me up already

Be a slob with colour. Okayyyy. I'm quite happy being a slob in black and white tbh!

I know a lot of it is inaccessible and impractical - how many of us are trotting off to mke our own pokers now? - but it has inspired me to stop buying boring bog standard stuff for the house.

Ooh, that yarn stash

arf @ Madonna sat with her needles. Knitting herself a nice leotard no doubt

Everest? Yeah, calm down pet.

My wonderful DH made our fireplace, which looks very much like that one. Cost him about 20 quid!

Like Grants place.

Those rooms were god-awful, like someone had sicked up paint all over the place. Am patiently waiting to see what this room ends up like if that is her inspiration.

And I want to learn to knit! Does it stand to reason that if I can cross-stitch and sew then I should be able to knit okay? I have the Stitch n Bitch book...waaah, I want to knit!!!

Making her own shades???
I can knit, but only very simply. I love that she did about 4 inches of work and left the professional to do the rest. That's the spirit Kirstie

Right women. Lets all trot off to M&S with our lamps and "try them out".

Lol.

I can't knit to save my life.
I can crochet though, and quite well if I do say so myself!
My sister is the comlpete opposite, can't crochet, can knit.

O my.
That room is going to be
errrr
eclectic

/googles for lamp shade sticky stuff.

A cow skin rug in a play room???
How do you get ribena off that then?
And that blanket.....

Never mind the bollocks???!?!!?!?:?!

I'm ok with the blanket, but agree with the rug. Grim.

Not your usual choice of poster for a playroom was it?

"Mummy, what does "bollocks" mean?"

I quite like the grown up sitting room.

Oooo will look forward to the quilting
Am still getting over that poster. What was she thinking??!

Also cannot believe the choice of poster for the play room. A boy at my school was given the cane for bringing that record in and standing it up in the hall for all to see.

(obviously this was a few years ago. ahem)

But there is such a difference between doing up a house on a budget to doing it on the cheap.

Most craftsmen do let people go in and have a go but people just don't ask to do it as it just hasn't occured to them, either that or I just have too much cheek! Obviously you have to intend to buy something but you really can ask to have a go at glass blowing or whatever.

First time I've watched it and not overly impressed tbh.
Dh tells me, kirsty is married to the son of a props company owner and all those things in the house are from there..... wouldn't surprise me.
devon... Everytime I see your name I think of Green Wing did you watch it?

What's green wing?? I guess the answer to the question is no but now want to know what it is?

Green Wing was the best comedy drama on tv a couple of years ago. It only lasted 2 series and a special and it had Julian Rhind Tutt and Stephan Mangan in it. It had a really funny bit about died and gone to devon. T'was brilliant.

The poster in the playroom is wrong.
Like the lamp and the blanket. Don't like the draft excluder.
Liked the bath from last week.
I do enjoy this show even though it's a bit patronising.
