Why not have her make them with you?? She could choose the fabric she likes, choose the designs, you can hand her the glue, she can make them, you can both hang them on the wall, or from the ceiling, That hanging thing that Chemar showed is perfect!!!

This could be a mommy and kid project and the end results are pretty decorations that everybody can oooh and aaahh over!!!

I always wished I had a pretty little girl. I would have done Buttons and Bows and all frilly little things.

Instead I had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformers.

lol lol

Whatever theme you use, why not making a little felt blanket. You both can do it or she can do it all by herself. You take two large squares of felt (Jo Ann fabric has alot of choices) every couple of inches you cut into the felt, about 2-3 inches. Then lay them together & tie the 'fringe' parts together, to make a nice felt blanket. I made one with an autumn theme on one side (piece) and plain tan on the other side (piece) for my dad.

I've made the fleece kind of blankets before so i know what you're talking about.


That's another good idea.

I think i found what i was sorta looking for.....

You all have inspired me soo much... keep the ideas flowing

This room is to DIE FOR!!!

Is this what you are doing for your daughter?

I'd live in that room in a heartbeat. It's so peaceful and pretty.

I adore the pink pastels.

It's what i'm HOPING to do.... i just love them too....

I love the white picket fence idea.



I might just carry the theme onto the kids bathroom... she does have two teenage brothers.... but GIRLS OVERRULE!!...LOL

My bedroom was fire engine red when we bought our house. I changed it before we even moved in to a sea foam green. I find it very soothing. I have some ocean pictures that my grandmother painted on the water in there. A white comforter makes it look really clean and inviting. I chose the carpeting because it reminds me of sand. My bedroom really is very relaxing. Might be an idea.

That is a very cute room! I really like it. What is great about the color of the walls is that as she starts entering in to the tween years it can easily be changed to something more tweenish by putting different bedding and curtains in the room as well as changing some of the decorations.

I love the color.
I like it with the pink drapes.
I haven't started anything yet, i still have to strip her border now.. take some furniture out.. etc.


It will probably take awhile to do.
I really like the picket fence idea.

that picket fence is a dream.

What a lovely bedroom.

If I had a girl I would do this in a heartbeat.

What pretty things they have for girls.

Sigh!!!!
