Regular readers of my blog know that I am obsessed with Project Runway.  I've recorded every episode.  My husband and kids have asked me, "Mom, why don't YOU try out for Project Runway?"  and I always respond "Oh I could never meet all of those challenges!  A Grammy gown?  A bathing suit?  I could never make those things!"  And it's true. 
I noticed the challenge on Craftster.org to come up with a craft design from something I bought at the dollar store for less than $5.00.  At first I wasn't interested....I couldn't really imagine making anything from doallr store items... then I realized, "Hey - this is kind of like Project Runway!"  Those designers didn't imagine ahead of time that they would be making something from food!  So - just YESTERDAY I went to the Dollar store and bought some things for the challenge!  The deadline was today!  I just submitted my designs. 
In PR terms I don't think I will "win" this challenge - but I don't think I will be eliminated either.  It was fun and I think I'm going to do the next one too.   Stay tuned...
 
Why not? Fabric is fabric!!!
