Another HGTV craft show - Craft Lab

17 years ago

I just watched it. They must be targeting the modern 20ish age group .. because it's set up as kinda funky with (in my opion) - childish crafts. A whole show on GLITTER. ugh.

PUL-EEZE ........ C'mon HGTV .... put on some GOOD CRAFT SHOWS !

I'm just so tired of watching people do crafts that I did in Grade School.Maybe we're just spoiled by Carol Duvall ....LOL

TMG - I agree, I watched this morning - or at least I should say I turned it on but when I saw what they were doing I switched channels. There are several craft shows that HGTV has on that are awful -in my opinion. One makes me so dizzy I couldn't watch it and the others are so childish. I wish HGTV would come up with a replacement for Carol Duval with someone hosting who is fun but not silly. I still watch Carol even though I am not into clay or stamping, I am a painter/crafter but I always found the show to be interesting. Wish I knew who to contact at HGTV, I'd give them my 2 cents worth! PF

I agree also, dont care for the show, and the ones that make you dizzy you can not see what there makeing long enough to get a idea of what there doing! how can that be a craft show, there will never be another carol duval! thank goodness for the internet and fourms like this we can still save crafting, and the joy of shareing our crafts!
happy crafting

Patti, That was my spamblocker--I just accepted your email and added you to my list of contacts. We have it set pretty high because I ordered a protein drink online, and have gotten so many unwanted ads since then. Sorry it gave you a problem. Luvs

I can't wait, we have a big craft show here this weekend to.I've been going for a couple of years. I always get so excited to go in and see some of the new things people are doing. I have already went to 3 this year. I've seen a couple of new things done, and ended buying them. my fav is my snowman, which was clever he's made out of wood and about 30inches tall and on a stake in a galvanized pail then she set him in concrete to keep him standing, and used pine cones and greenery to hide the concrete put a string of lights in too, and of course he's all dressed up too. He's very cute. I have put him outside by my front door to greeting every one. the best part he was only $35 dollars!!! I dont mind paying that, because I dont think I will be seeing him at walmart or any other store. Hand made is always better!!! shelly

Anyone miss the old Aleene's Craft shows?
Q

I miss Aleene's but also Carol Duvall and all of the craft shows on "The Home and Garden Network" that appeared in the early 2000"s. Before the DVR I taped them and watched them over and over again. I was visiting my cousin the other day and she had her fall decorations out and I admired some pilgrims and she said, "you made those and gave them to me". It took me back to those days. I still love crafts and make an effort to balance work with crafting and art. I know my daughter's generation would watch and enjoy a Craft Network for their creative time with my grandchildren.

Oddie, I'm game, would love to be on your craft show!! I think we could all do as good as job as the guests Carol had - I especially loved that crazy one who does the embossed velvet, can't remember her name but she was always so funny. I can't remember what Carol actually did in the way of crafts but she was a great hostess. Oddie, I don't know all the abreviations for computer talk yet, either. I am a perfectionist and after years of typing at my job, I naturally type out the whole word. I was never sure if LOL meant laughing out loud or lots of laughs. I even had to ask my grandson what OMG meant.

I hope they do come up with a new craft show like carol duval! maybe we can petition HGTV for one, something more towards the middle age people and not so funky! or fast, I sorta like B-Original she made the winebottle inscent burner I have made, and some cool looking crafts for the home, at times. paintingfool as you can tell I dont chat much, but if you want to know something about coumputer language or a cell phone ask a child! the guest you are talking about is Mary Oneal, she started out a simple crafter, and built her own bussiness, Iam sure you seem the show.
Happy crafting
