Time out chair...for mum and child...

I found this wooden chair in a local charity shop, piled high with bags of items and old pots..
Her tattered stained cushions and scratched wood stain were calling out for help.. I dug her out and brought her home to my hubbies already stuffed garage.? I call it my workshop!!
Now that my lofty lion is closed for the winter I can start my workshop!! Project...
I am calling this chair the Time Out Chair for many reasons..which I will expand on later..
I started by giving it a good cleaning and sanding, painted her with a baby blue finished dry brushing white overtones.,then applied A thin coat of paste wax to protect her from bangs and bruises. The cushions were restuffed with fluffy new batting thenI recovered her with a vibrant
fabric.
The bright colored birds have been embellished and hand sewn to form a three D effect then attached A few loops to the back of the chair..this chair is lower to the floor therefore it is easy to climb into for all ages.. It would be great chair to cuddle up for a story time with a special litte one.. Or perhaps this could be a special TimeOut Chair for being naughty!!
