Divination

I just finished my latest craft project. An ottoman and pillow for the chair I recovered for Roland's office. I don't have access to any sort of saws or other tools to make a wooden box that could be covered for a normal looking ottoman, so I went with a pattern I found for making one with a gallon paint can and some foam. It's more of a pouf than an ottoman, but it was doable from the building materials standpoint. I did have to ask my Dad to cut me a 12" circle out of wood and send it to me, though. It turned out okay, not great, but okay. I think if I made another one it would look better. I also made a pillow out of some leftovers from the chair and the pouf. It's reversible with one side being navy red with navy blue corners and center and the other side being navy blue with navy red corners and center.

Yeah, these are cool! And totally unexpected! Another amazing Susan creation...er, creations.

I'm going to have the coolest office on the block. Once I get my soda fountain installed, I'll be all set.

home depot sells precut circular wooden table tops, if you want to make another one without someone having to send you wood.
