Sammie's World

I haven't been able to get the time to add to my bloggs over the past few weeks and I must admit I've missed it. I sat down tonight and read through some wonderful entries from some fellow blogaholics and was amazed.

The last few entries have been introducing you to some little members of my family and this entry is sort of the same (with a difference).

A few weeks ago I walked into a store and spotted the most beautiful little baby doll that I've ever seen. I ummed and arrred about him, wondering about him (do I want him ? or don't I?) knowing all the time that I really did. I guess I was trying to justify the cost. Anyway, I had pretty much put him to the back of my mind UNTIL we (my hubby, kids and best friend) were at a market place where there was a little antique shop that just happened to have a doll size cradle which was an exact replica of the one I had for my children when they were babies. I knew then "it was a sign" ...I now have the cradle, and "Cobie William". He is so cute and he really was meant to be mine. It's bad though, when you feel like you have to justify, basically wasting money on non-essential things, just because. But its not often I spend money on myself. Now I have set myself a task and I'm wanting ideas. I want to sand the cradle back, paint it up and then make a beautiful little set for it, but am really unsure where to start, what colours to do it in and how to go about it all..... so if anyone has ideas.. I'm open to suggestion. I'm thinking the cradle would look nice in a cream colour. ... Kerri
