Here is the finished doll's cot. I took apart the original cot, I sanded it down and re-painted it blue then I painted a woodland mural on both of the end panels. I then covered the whole thing in a protective top coat before putting it back together with new screws and washers. I made a mattress for the cot out of my daughters old Moses basket mattress and made a mattress cover and a doll sized baby sleeping bag out of some lovely foxy fabric that I found at a local haberdashery shop. I'm really pleased with the end result and I love the fact that something I played with as a child can get a new lease of life to be played with by my children.

Here I have taken apart the original cot, sanded it down, re-painted and decorated it- it matches the toy box that I painted last year.

I've been meaning to post this for ages. This is a toy box that I hand painted for my daughter. It has a woodland theme which is very similar to the wall mural that I did at the end of last year. I used emulsion paints and finished it off with a top coat of varnish.

This is a sneak peak at something new that I've been working on over the last few weeks :-)

Here are some photos of the finished bunting (unfortunately the photos of it hung up at the venue aren't fantastic) it reads Mr and Mrs Cobbin and has hearts to separate the words. It took ages to complete but I think it was worth it in the end :-)
