my creative space...

Day to day life has been a bit all-consuming of late, so creatively things have been rather uneventful except for the continuous hooking of my nana rug of an evening.  I did manage to give this gorgeous old chair a new coat of paint...
I love this green...
I found it a while ago at an op shop for $5 and I've been waiting for an opportunity to fix it up a bit.  It's an original Baker's design, badge and all,  I think it may have been a high chair once upon a time although there's no evidence of where other attachments may have been...
this is the before shot, looking a little bit desperate.
