My wife intended on making me a a birthday ottoman of course this was a DIY project. Many of you wanted to see the end results. I honestly didn't think my wife would finish it and time mostly because she had to do it all by hand with nothing but hand tools. Well to my surprise she managed to get it all done and all done the day before her deadline. Below is a picture of the finished product. This goes to show that anything is possible if you put your mind to it and a little effort.

Yes and she made throw pillows for the kids and relined our couches with extra padding to make them fluffy again and she still said she isn't finished she said she wants to use up as much of the couch as she possibly can. Sorry about the blur we later realized the camera lens had something on it lol.

That is awesome your wife got it all done by herself! I will have to go take a look at your previous post to see more what this one is about.

@SIMPLYD Thanks I am always using it when I am home. I use it when I am on the laptop it is perfect height so that I am sitting level. Since she chose to make it a rectangle instead of a square like she did our sons I can lay on it to play my xbox too.

wow, that looks so good - I'd never have suspected it wasn't shop/factory produced

@arthurchappell She has an idea brewing in her little head I can see it she has a good idea but it won't be easy to execute but I am confident that she will find a way to make it work.
If it goes well she will probably be selling all kinds of items from art work to decor items right now its all just ideas until she can figure out the rest of the stuff to make it actually something she can do.

Yes, putting your mind to it will certainly help you get there. Knowing a little of what you are doing is a help too.
