I started crocheting the pouffe yesterday and finished the crocheting part very late in the evening while doing all my motherly duties in between.
I'm very chuffed with myself!
This morning I joined the two crocheted circles with the Cherise zpagetti with and overcast stitch. The colors of my curtains are the same so the pouffe will be for the sitting room.
I had to stop my project as I needed stuffing. I read on the maria's blog(where I bought the zpagetti from) that she stuffs them with Ikea duvets as they're cheaper than stuffing. I found that to be a very good idea. Only problem was that I'm not heading for an Ikea this week and HOW ON EARTH CAN I WAIT TO STUFF MY POUFFE.
Well, I found 3 continental pillows that I've stored away on the attic. At last I had I had a reason to use them after 8 years of storage....
It is still a bit wobbly so I have to take out the stuffing of the three and put it in one inner bag like an old duvet cover. My husband will be relieved that I actually used things take are taking up space for so long lol. I'll get a star behind my name this evening lol.
In the meantime the kids and the dog got on it and they all love it and fight over it...
Well should I now crochet 3 more?
I just love this zpagetti and closed up this pouffe with a little bow tie (knotted) so it can be opened up easy for washing.
To make your own zpagetti see this Dutch blog and a youtube movie

Oh, this is SO cute! What a fun idea! I don't crochet, but perhaps I should learn! :) My dog would love it... if he had a matching blanket, too!
