Time for a spruce up, again!

Last week I spruced up this doll's cot to give to a friend's child for her birthday. I originally bought it for $5 from Lifeline three years ago. At the time it looked quite hideous. Someone had gone to town with a stenciling/stamping kit and produced something really quite ugly indeed.

And so it got its first spruce up. I painted it pink & white, made some matching linen and gave it to my daughter for her 1st birthday. It's been almost three years and Meg has moved on to other things. I felt it was time for it to be passed on to another little girl to enjoy.

And so it was time for its second spruce up. I painted it red & white, sewed a new set of spotty and stripy sheets and a cute little starry starry quilt. And once again, it's looking as good as new!
