I'm Not Above Bribes

Okay, so let's be honest.The community viewing is totally unfair. While I love my project and I'm really happy with it, I've already accepted the fact that mine will not be as popular. Neither will many others. Why, you might ask? Why wouldn't they love original songs or totem poles or dresses? Are the parents crazy?

Well, maybe some of them are crazy (joke!), but the real reason is because of our competition: the evil, mean, awful, parent-hogging foodie groups. Don't get me wrong, I love food, and I love many of the people doing food projects. But, really? Canoles? Bread? Rich, creamy, delicious, chocolate logs? Even if we tell the parents that they're bad for their waistlines and that they'll regret gorging on them later, they still gravitate to the food! How are we supposed to compete with that?!

As a result, after some restless nights and some pretty hefty comfort eating (one is actually true--I'm sure you can figure it out), I've discovered a master plan, brace yourself...

Operation SEW

As promised (though, granted, a little late), I'm back and ready to fill you in on what went down at T minus zero hours!

Location: Neighborhood, Indian Hill High School

Mission: Pass high school

Details: Okay, sorry I just had to do that. Anyway, the judges were really nice and friendly and while I was sweating buckets, they asked me questions and I talked to them about everything I did and so on. I even had a Project Runway enthusiast there as well, plus two actual seamstresses! Yay!

Anyway, that was pretty much it. I actually had fun and I'm kind of sad it's over :(. Luckily, we still have the community viewing! Watch out for an update later!
Literally a bucket of my sweat...okay maybe not.
