Kirstie's Homemade Home

You HAVE to watch this. Watching this makes me have the itchiest fingers, I want to make it as soon as I see it!



I love watching the trips to the antique fayres, everything has so much character and it makes me happy to see beautiful things being reused and loved all over again. 
Things don't even need to match, I actually think the clashier, the better, within reason obviously - it all ends up coming together with the things you make and add.

There's all kinds of things on there, from making a pewter vase (obviously rather specialist!) to simple cross stich that can be done in your own modest bedroom, with minimal equipment! My particular favourite is 'How to Knit a Tea Cosy' from Series 1!

Kirstie is trying many of these crafts for the first time, it's really refreshing to see someone making mistakes, there is hope yet.

It's on Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4, but you can catch it on 4od if you miss it.
At this time of year, it's really worth watching the Christmas episodes, they make me feel so Christmassy!
