just my opinion Previous review gives excellent listing detail on what to expect in terms of projects and tips. I bought the dvd set sadly to get a recipe for the scrumptous looking drink and dessert pictured on the cover. It's nowhere to be found in either of the 2 dvds. Overall, as an intermediate level do it yourselfer and crafter i am glad i did not pay full price for this Dvd.
I liked some of the projects eg, making a bag out of a beach towel, the showercurtain game and the sponge waterball, as well the tips on grilling. Overall though some of the projects are alittle too "simple". For example, making "iced coffee" literally shows Martha pouring already made hot coffee into a cup of ice and adding suger and milk to taste...to me it was bordering absurd.
Pretty good, but not her best.............................. This is one of Martha's latest DVD's that she is presenting with a seasonal theme to it. It is good but not her best, mainly because it is being compared to her other DVD contents and offerings. The compilations are episodes from her previous TV show format "Martha Stewart Living". The problem is they are mostly from episodes taped within the past 6 years, therefore there is much missing from the early and middle years.
What is here is good, with Disc Two being the better of the set, because of the recipes. But I can recall many other summer episodes from the early and middle years that would have been welcomed. Also, this is a rather short offering of projects and decorating and recipes. I think the problem is that they wanted to keep it as up-to-date as possible, and rather than reach into the archives of a different time and place, they tried to stay within the episodes of the new millenium. The price is good, and so are some of the sections.
Disc One: BEACH PROJECTS: beach bags/ sarong tie dye/ flip flops/ sand castle sculptures and tools kits/ superhero cape towels
KIDS PROJECTS: lemonade stand/ toy sailboats and motor boats/ bean bag toss/ sponge ball/ pitching tents/ map and compass skills
You will find things to do, and make, on your own or with family and friends. The sand sculpture section would be great with kids. Enjoy the summer compliments of Martha.
