But not quite! In the midst of my pre-Christmas mayhem I made an ottoman for DS...he requested black, bright blue & green and some robot fabric I had used in a quilt for him.
From a pattern by Kathy at Material Obsession (Turban Ottoman I think) that was also in a Quilters Companion magazine...super easy and quick & really looks smart (I think!). We decided to fill it with bean bag beans...they were everywhere!!!! I believe they have minds of their own!!! If I wasn't in Australia I might think there was a blizzard coming!
So now while I am running around like a mad woman, DS can chill out with his tootsies up! That is, after the lawns are mowed and his room is tidy...and he has walked the dog...and swept the path....and....

Love it. It looks great.
How fun! The ottoman looks great! And those pellets have so much static cling to them...seems they stick to everything.
Love your ottoman. Those beans can certainly not be tamed. Tracee xx

Oh, I just love this one. Just may have to order the pattern as it is so fun looking. Love the colors too.
This ottoman is absolutely stunning! Your blog post title threw me off... I kept saying, "she lives in Australia and they are in their summer now, how can she have snow?" But you are right the ottoman stuffing does look like snow!
I love it!! There may be one of those in my future.
Terrific gift and very well made. Lucky DS and I do love the idea of using the little pellets. I'll bet he got his chores done quickly so he could enjoy his new pillow.
When I've worked with those beans, I noticed they carried a lot of static cling. They stayed with me for days!
Looks like a comfy ottoman.
That is sooooo cool! I love it!
I need one too :)

I'm so impressed, I saw one of MO's at a workshop and wanted one. I haven't got around to it though. Brilliant idea to use the beans.
