Yesterday I posted a picture of the pink cradle. Today was re-do the cradle day! Rita picked this cute little cradle up at the Goodwill for $8.00. It's solid wood and screwed together with 4 strong screws. Whomever made this little jewel made it to last several doll lifetimes! It so reminds me of the doll furniture my dad made for me when I was small.

| This is all you will need to make the transformation from this .... |

| The pink cradle is ready for her make over! |
 |
| So we sand it, basically just to rough it up so the paint can adhere. |
 |
| I am choosing to fill in the holes where the screws were inserted. Wood filler is awesome! |
 |
| OK, the wood filler is dry and I've sanded it as well to smooth it down. I have it on my well used paint drop cloth (it's really paper!) |
 |
| First coat is on and dry. |
 |
| Three coats later it's almost done, I need to sand the patch areas one more time. |
 |
| Taa Daa! The transformation is complete!! I also washed and tea stained the small quilt I made yesterday. Now all I need is a doll ... |
Or maybe a
 |
| Couple of baby birds!! I caught them napping this afternoon and just couldn't resist taking another picture. I just love watching these little baby sparrows! |
