Cradle

I bought a cradle for Anabel (which to say the least needed a lot of work but hey I bought it for a dollar on E bay) . I broke it all down and sanded and sanded mostly by hand and then put it all back together. Ended up going to a restorer with it to get some wood ( The cradle originally had folding legs but we decided to make stretchers for it) Anyway was pleasantly surprised to find out that it really was old between 65 and he thought more like 80 years old. Finished it off with beeswax which I'll probably regret but he thought best because the wood is so brittle. Anyway all is done except the net tester and I made calico bumpers and quilt to go in it and all in all I thought It came up pretty well and Anabel loved it . I'm just cranky as I did'nt take before photos it looks so different and I was pretty impressed that I did it all myself (Excepting the stretchers which the very talented Uncle Grumpy made for me) Now I have to start on the rocking horse i bought her also an e bay bargain.
