Doll bed by: S.Forsyth Hart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I was little, my mother and my grandfather combined their talents and created a spool doll bed for my sisters and I.<\/strong> My little bed had white bedding with red embroidered trim, as red was my favourite colour at that time (I believe I was 3 or 4).<\/p>\n

The doll beds were exquisitely made with the loving hands of both my grandfather and mom. This included cutting a flat wood board (in which to attach the spool legs and lie the mattress on top of), staining and gluing dozens of wooden sewing spools, making a small foam mattress and then the bedding.<\/p>\n

I treasured the doll bed for years and years through move after move ( I lived in 10+ different cities by the time I was 16 years old).<\/strong> Finally, the little bed fell apart and although I still have bits and pieces of the bed, for the most part it is gone.<\/p>\n

Imagine my delight when my beautiful mom decided that she would attempt making the beds from scratch, all by herself, for her own granddaughters<\/strong> (one of them being my daughter Pippi).<\/p>\n

The pictures in this post are of the stunning results of her labour.\u00a0Pippi is a lucky girl to have doll bed made by her grandmother, just like the one I had as a little girl.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
