I know these babies have been around for a while but I just love them.
I thought I would be clever and make a burlap style one. Big mistake, big disaster, it looks like a bad plain hessian sack. Worse still, I filled it with bean bag beans. If I put my feet up on it to watch tv. I have to turn up the volume so I can hear over the rustling noise.

I have just discovered that Table Tonic stock them.
I have decided that if I still love them when we return from the trip then I will order one.
Well, I thought one, but now looking at these lovely pictures, maybe one is not quite enough!

PS We embark on THE journey this week so posts may be few and far between for a while.
With a bit of luck our next post will be from underground in Coober Pedy on Friday or Saturday.
Thank for all the packing moral support it was much appreciated.
I'm a child of the 70's so the pouf was a regular feature in my lounge room :) The coloured ones are so pretty. I did chucle at the thought of a rustly hessian one. Goodness!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, goodluck and bon voyage. Look forward to reading all about it!
Oh good on you for trying you clever thing! And what a great visual you've given me this morning. Have the most wonderful time on your epic trip, each and every one of you. I hope you see amazing things and meet wonderful people. Please stay safe and I can't wait to hear all about it. xx
ReplyDeleteBest wishes as you set off on your journey! Enjoy, stay safe and keep us posted where possible. (don't forget the camera!) ;-)
ReplyDeleteDeb, we are so alike! I have bought two 70s vinyl pouffs and am slipcovering them in painter's drop cloths that I have made to look like grainsacks:) I will post them when they are done:) Now how exciting for your family, this is THE week!! Travel safely and I can't wait to hear all about your wonderful adventures. ~ Tina xx

Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteI have just come over from Nellies blog and glad I found yours! I have been thinking of doing a morrocan pouf too, but not in leather. I even tried to find a pattern online, but couldnt find anything decent. I decided I might have to king of make one of my own..
I love all your posts about camping! I will have to let my husband read them, he really wants to get a camper trailer; an off road one. 12 weeks is a long time for a trip, but I am sure you will have a lot of fun!
take care,
laura curriexx
oh no dont you just hate that, and then you feel like you 'should' use it cause it caused so much pain in the making!
ReplyDeleteOh how hilarious, I can just imagine the noise when you put your feet up!... at least you tried... I love people who give everything a go... one chance in life... do everything I say! I can't believe you are heading off this week... how incredibly exciting... "welcome to the best years of your life"... as my hubby would say. Lots of photos.. and I hope lots of blog posts wherever you can. We will all be travelling with you! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteI must say I do love a pouf. My grandparents had one that they bought in Africa when I was a baby.
ReplyDeleteBon voyage. I look forward to hearing about your travels.
