Memo & Picture Holder

What can you make with a piece of molding, ribbon, drapery hooks, and fabric scraps?? A memo holder of course!

This little gem is for my sister's b-day, so I hope she doesn't peek before I get it shipped! Its a simple project that you can customize how ever you wish, and is darn cheap too. It is definitely a nice change from bulletin boards, and the ribbon boards (although I like those as well).

Dana's Headboard

My sister made this spectacular headboard a month or two ago and I thought I'd share it. She started with a piece of MDF, foam, batting, and baseboard molding. I love that it isn't your run of the mill DIY headboard. The molding definitely gives it more personality and makes it stand out. For the molding she actually just used 3 pieces since you can't see the bottom.

I am on the hunt for fabric to match our bedroom so I can make one too. She also gave me the idea to use finishing blocks on the corners since we don't have a saw to cut the 45 angles. Hopefully I will get around to it this summer. I am looking to find a fabric similar to the kind on Carrie and Big's headboard from Sex and the City 2.
