Thanks Rhonda K. That first link has some great projects.
Back when my daughter was in middle school (15 years ago), she had bunk beds in her room and always slept on the top bunk. She would just toss stuff over the side at night since she couldn't reach a surface to place them on. So I made her a caddy with pockets to put her book, game boy, etc. in. It was plain cotton duck, not very pretty, but it worked and she even used it in college. I made it with velcro straps so it could hang from the safety rails on the bunk.
