A Brief History Of Televised Crafting Competition

I'm super excited to watch the premiere tomorrow night of Craft Wars on TLC. But Craft Wars isn't the first televised crafting competition to hit the airways.

Back in 2005 there was Craft Corner Deathmatch. It was basically crafting meets cage fighting. I loved that show. My only dream in life was to take on-and defeat-the Craft Lady of Steel.

If you managed to miss this little bit of awesome on the Style Network, Vimeo has you covered. Well...a little. Three episodes are captured there in all of their tongue in cheek crafting glory. Click the pictures below to check them out. I could try to explain it...but it's better to just watch...

  3. You have no idea how giddy the idea of a garage even a quarter full of pipe cleaners makes me!
