Hubby gave me a scare tonight, and made me re-think my intentions for this project.
I'm planning on making each individual block into a place mat for the dining table. Currently we are using woven plastic placemats (ok ... they sound cheap, awful and ugly, but they're actually quite attractive and as it turns out, practical).
For dinner tonight I slaved over a "Chinese Restaurant". Brought the stuff home and hubby picked up the Mongolian Beef container and it bent (you know those cheap foil containers that have zero rigidity) and it went SPLOOOSH all over the plate, the place mat, and the dining table.
I was able to run the place mat under the faucet, wipe it dry and use it within 5 minutes.
If he does that with one the place mats I'm making .... well ... the man may never have another dinner again let alone Chinese.
Although ... Mongolian Beef at least matches my color scheme
