spring cleaning...

[dnbmegan.livejournal.com]

there are a couple spring projects i want to start, but first i wanted some advice from you lovely crafty ladies. heres what i want to accomplish. thanks to everyone who helps!

+ +i want to make a 'slip cover' type thing for my comforter. its a hidious cheetah pattern which i got in 7th grade and i think its just too, well not me. i want to go for a brown color, but what types of fabrics would work best? something soft preferrably. i'd also like to decorate it somehow [sew big buttons/flowers on the top part]... by the way i've never sewn anything in my life before. its a twin sized comforter as well.

++i have a really cute lamp that i want to put in my bathroom. however i want to put it on the left side of my sink and the 'plug' for the electric cord is on the right side of the sink. you undestand? how can i secure the cord behind the sink against the back side so it doesn't get in the way?

++i have a bunch of papers i need to organize [taxes/paychecks/etc] but i detest metal file cabinents. how can i go about organizing all my cluttered papers? any cute ideas?

++ curtains. ok i want to make curtains for my window... i really want some sheer pink ones.. something light and cute. whats the easiest and cheapest way to do this?
