Pom Pom Ottoman in The Jo-Ann's Ad

Bucilla -Close Knit

I did a book for Plaid awhile back where all the projects are made with their Knit Wit tool and doodle loom tool. Recently they asked me to make another one for Jo-Ann's with their yarn. And lo-and-behold- whoop, there it is, in the Jo-Ann's sale flyer!!! (top right corner)

This ottoman is made from tons of hand made pom poms on their largest tool and an Ikea inflatable cube (about $8ish)
So just in case you happen to have a big a** manicure-not to worry making pom poms is a total snap with the big nails!
Here the ottoman is "in progress" is anyone else having a "tribble flashback?"

Me and "Superfly" (My new/old Airstream)

I am now part of a new group, Airstream owners!

It is a total fixer-upper but I loooooooove it! It is a Flying Cloud so I have named it Superfly.
Will keep you posted on it's rehab. One big craft project, eh? I will need to get the pink flamingos out and fix their legs, sooo much cleaning fixing and decorating to do!!!!!
