As to the foam core-well...I guess it would be no different than the cardboard 'iffin it got wet. Foam core may just work. Anybody made one with it?

Drinks get spilled alot around here. DH has a couple of fingers on his left hand that don't work so well and he just looses his grip!

One reason he is not allowed in the sewing area.

Here's one of the fabrics I think I will use on this.

What ya think?

You might be 'in hiding' but is there only a garage near you and that is it? Where do you get your shoes, mail order? Perhaps you should go the route of large boxes of soap powder, but be sure to choose one with a 'perfume' you can live with until it dissipates.

2 more finished; I chose the fabric Friday, one niece likes yellow and the other one red.
They went much faster the second time around. I cut the cardboard and batting for two then the fabric one at a time.
I think I may be getting addicted. :)
