Crib to Headboard Transformation Complete
Finally, after I started this project forever ago, I’m done with my drop-side crib to headboard transformation! Here’s what our bedroom and bed looked like before: Nice college-style bedroom. Note the absolute lack of design elements. Here’s what it looks like now: Oh my…
The Headboard Is Almost Finished
Today was beautiful here, if a bit chilly for spring, and I took advantage of the nice weather to work on a few of my ongoing projects. I thinned the stand of bamboo some more and then stripped the pruned canes so that now…
I Think I Might Be Sewing This Coverlet Forever
I worked more on the new coverlet today – I’ve got half of the ruffles sewn on (6 on, 6 to go) but it really takes freakin’ forever. I haven’t be working on it steadily because it’s very boring but I’ll be so glad…
Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

Ruffled Bed Coverlet – Part 2
It turns out that we’ll be doing the bedroom redo this weekend, rather unexpectedly, so I’ll be working frantically to get my projects done before then. The headboard is actually more of a priority but it didn’t get above 50 degrees today so I…
Ruffled Bed Coverlet
On to the next project for the bedroom; I’m starting on this one because it’s too cold to paint the headboard tonight. I’m making a ruffled coverlet for our bed. Tonight I’ve cut the base fabric and all the strips for the ruffles (which…
Crib to Headboard Transformation: Part 1
When my daughter transitioned into her ‘big girl’ bed we were left with a white crib to store in the garage, and it turned out to have been a recalled crib, so we couldn’t sell it. To complete the recall we had to send…
