We are crafty people

Definitely inspired by Katie's craftiness, (very very cool headband, by the way!), and also a monster of a prom dress hanging in an old closet, I've finally decided to make something for myself.  I'm usually inspired by someone else to make something, asking myself, "What would THEY like?". But this time, I made what I wanted...and it was SO FUN!

I've had this crazy dress; a combination of white tulle, snow-queen, poufy sleeves, huge bodice, corset ribing, the works, for quite a long time. (I was very into playing 'dress-up' when I was a kid, you know, releasing my inner Disney princess.) One day, while on the treadmill, it just came to me. "BAM! I should make that into something USEFUL."  Here's what I came up with; a polka-dotted, scoop-neck mini dress...complete with lining make outta' old fabric napkins.
Recycling is fun. And it can look good too...:).

What other projects have we got going out there?
