Hello, I'm house bound today, getting over myself, I'm am such a bad patient, I am listless and dreary, and I can't even muster a tinge of motivation. I tried crocheting, I tried watching 'Mad Men', I even tried to look at a recipe book...............so I wandered into my studio and took at picture of Matilda's Blue Cot...........this is how Rowan left it on Tuesday afternoon, he likes to style things. Personally I think it's all a bit blue and cluttered, but this is the way Rowan wanted it!
This is the vintage cot I rescued from the side of the road some months back, popped it in the back of my car and bought it home. I was really excited as I had been searching my brain thinking of what could be special enough give Matilda for her second birthday. After a really good scrub and a little woodwork, the cot looked ready for the new owner. I bought a piece of foam from Clark Rubber and covered it with a piece of vintage fabric, then I set to make a little patchwork quilt and a crochet throw. How cute is the original sticker, all beautifully in tact. Now the cot is already for Matilda's playroom. I must admit that I will miss having it in my studio, and I am not the only one, Rowan has grown fond of putting his collection of softies and dolls to bed every day......
