Welcome to the Runway!

For those of you that don't know, I have a bit of an obsession with the show Project Runway. I love seeing what people create in such a short period of time and often wonder what I would make if I were on the show. I am pretty sure I would be eliminated on the first challenge due to the fact that I am inexperienced and slow. Another great love in my life is my daughter, Pearl. She is what her kindy teachers call a "fashion plate." Her sense of style is very unique and she has rigid rules about fashion. I enjoy seeing what she will pick out to wear and why. I also love making clothes for her. Often she will draw designs for me and we will go down to the little variety store and pick out some fabric so I can make her something fun to wear. Pearl is also very particular about pretty much all aspects of life; what she eats, when she eats, what voices we use when we are reading a book to her, how we play with her. This year, as a stay at home mom, I have decided I need a project. So I am going to try to complete all the challenges from Project Runway Season 14 with Pearl as my muse, model, and judge. Being that I have children, I am going to give myself as much time as I need to complete each design. There will be some other slight modifications to the challenges as well. I will obviously have a smaller budget, and instead of shopping at Mood, I will purchase fabric at Geoff's Emporium in Warkworth NZ. So Lets start the show!
