Wooo Hoo, Elle,I'm pleased you thought it was fun to make but I'm sorry you had a glitch, but it was something you obviously overcame, because I would never have known that you had any problems. I only asked, because if you had, it might have been something that I had or hadn't said properly. I am so pleased you managed to get it together by following my pics etc. I found doing mine fun too, which is why I did the second one, and I have plans to make a larger, third one, when the fabric arrives.

What a great Job Elle, sounds like you had a blast, and it is great to feel like you were back in playschool.

I plan on it, I have yet to find a suitable cardboard to use, I did find some plastic that may work, I have one or two things to do before attacking it, I am doing more embroidery right now,

BTW, I don't even know what I want to be when I grow up yet!

Did you see Elle's suggestion of using the largest soap powder boxes? They might perfume the box for a while, so I suggested you pick a soap powder you like the smell of. Or ask at your local shoe shop for some of the boxes boots come in? You might have to stick two layers together to get them firm, but hey it's only like plywood, except with cardboard.

I am totally zany and wild in the weird way, maybe that is why I get along with all of the kids that are usually around here, they come here to unwind and destress for their normal every days lives,


I only use liquid, I wash 99% in cold water and it works better than the powder, but on the other hand the bottles have some nice flat edges of plastic that may stand up better to the girls ministrations that I am sure that they will put them through.

and thinking about it I am wondering if the plastic on the milk jugs is at least heavy enough for the lining pieces,

Pass on that one. Obviously you have large square bottles. How about Pizza boxes??
