The head of the bed.

Sometimes when working on a design job, you walk into a room and it just says "Do this"
 This pretty little guest room was just that way.
  The client wanted to buy some upholstered headboards and a new window treatment.
  Her current bedspreads did the talking.
  She bought 2 more and we made the headboards and window treatment out of them and voila!
  Didn't they come out pretty?

Use a Handkerchief

As a small child, if one or my siblings or myself would get all snotty and congested we would hear Mom yell "use a handkerchief !", from the other side of the house, room or whatever, even before that sleeve could be thought of.  Now days it's a tissue and the days of always having a pretty hanky are gone, except for one of my dear friends.  She collects  pretty hankys from the past. Beautiful, colorful, sometimes white, sometimes lacy handkerchiefs.  She has so many stored in those wonderful drawers that scrapbookers use for their papers, that the stack is as high as I am tall. We put a few to use in her kitchen window.

Making draperies has been a big part of my life for a very long time.  Making miniature draperies is also something I really love to do.   Here are examples of one "real size" window treatment and some custom miniature treatments I have had the pleasure to do, as well as a rug and bed treatment.
