2 Little Hooligans

A pretty little craddle for her 3rd birthday.

On Friday we celebrated my little girl’s 3rd birthday. It was nothing fancy but it had everything she requested…

chocolate cupcakes
and balloons.
For her gift I repainted an old wooden cradle that I picked up from a yard sale this summer for $2.
Then I made some cute little bedding for the cradle out of one of her old Easter dresses.
The pad was made from the main part of the dress and I used the gathered top part of the dress to make a little pillow.
The crochet (or knitted) blanket is actually a place mat that I picked up at a yard sale this summer. So cute isn’t it? (I loved it so much that it actually became the inspiration for their playroom, which you will see soon!)
 Since I couldn’t stop there, I made bear-bear a bunch of clothes using her old outgrown baby clothes. It was such a fun and cheap gift and I loved upcycling all of those outgrown baby clothes. It is so sweet watching her play dress up with some of the clothes she used to wear.
