Default Dealing with saw dust while hand sanding

I recently completed a cherry headboard for a queen bed. After listening to
Bill Bush at a local woodworking show, I have become a fan of hand sanding
rather than using a random orbital sander with dust removal. The headboard
came out great but the sawdust was a real mess. The headboard was too big
for any downdraft table. All I could do was wear a good mask and then clean
up the very fine dust which had drifted all over the place. Is there some
way I could have used my Jet dust collector to help out? I have read very
mixed reviews of the dust collectors that hang from the ceiling.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
