A House Fit For A Princess..

I have promised my daughter a pillow for her bed for some time.
So, decided to make one for her birthday.
I stayed up all night before her big day to make this house...
fit for a princess.

The house was made from a vintage chenille blanket which
I was given many years ago from my Aunt...which belonged to her Great Aunt.
Sadly over the years it became very fragile and ripped in several places.
I thought it fitting for a make-over project.

Which makes this piece all the more special.

I worked...worked...worked as my little girl slumbered into the night.
She awoke on her birthday with a sweet surprise sitting next to her.



My Princess was surprised!!!
