But this past Saturday Mary and I decided that it was the day.....So we finished the pouf Saturday night. Here is what I wrote on my Peru blog:
We finished the pouf tonight! It was a huge project. Where do you find the filling? So, Alberto thought that he knew the best place to look and he was willing to drive us there which was huge! Maybe 30 minutes through CRAZY traffic both ways. He is a nice man. When we finally arrived. Mary and I spent silly amounts of time deciding which filling to use. Alberto had been right. This was the right place to find the filling. PHOOEY! We made final decisions only to find out that they were out of the filling we wanted. But luckily the woman helping us went to someone above her. And the person above her was good. She explained that the filling that made sense was in the already made poufs on the floor. And indeed the poufs on the floor had the right amount of firmness to suit what we were thinking. So for half the price we bought an already made pouf and took it home. So we stuffed THE pouf with the new poof and then put the stuffing that we had on hand all around it until you couldn't see the store-bought pouf. Mary had the patience of Job...she kept stuffing it just a little more...and then I sewed it up. It was just as imagined. EXCEPT it was too big for the baby's room.
So it turns out that I could have followed the pattern exactly and the pouf would have been plenty big.
