Blue Peter.... what did you make?

16 Oct 2007

I was listening to our local radio station, they were chatting about people who had actually made stuff years ago from Blue Peter. A guy rang up and said he'd made "Tracy Island" :shock: cool

Yes I was one of those nimble fingered little girls, I made dolls house furniture from egg boxes, matchboxes and I made a christmas candle from a loo roll!
Did anyone else make anything from the good old Blue Peter days??

I always wanted to do that christmas advent thingy (I believe thats the technical term) with the tinsel covered wire coat hangers.....but we never had any wire coat hangers :upset:

I made both of my Grandma's an ORANGE encrusted with CLOVES (I think it was supposed to be a smelly thing to keep clothes smelling fresh)!!! ....... have to be honest ......... they were absolutely awful Christmas presents! .......... but I was so proud.:smug:
However ........ I have a better one than that ........ Aged 23 years old and NEWLY married I decided to make a four poster bed for a surprise for HUBBY when he got in from work!!!!
I made it out of 4 bits of 2 x 4 (wood plank thingies) and 4 broom sticks and lots of 6" nails!!
Again I was proud until it fell on us, later that evening!!!!!

I didn't watch Blue Peter. I enjoyed smile

This is probably a cue for another thread lol

And then, when the kid's magazine 'Look In' came out, there was the instructions and all the stuff to make the Magpie studio, complete with the 3 presenters.
And yes, I made them :shock: :lol:

oh and while I'm on the topic, Jim 'll fix it....never replied to any of my letters either.....what a waste of time and effort :evil: :lol2:
