Our friend, Amanda, came over with a dress that was falling apart and she had in her closet for a long time. She left it with me for a few days. I cut off the top, added a t-shirt sleeve top band and a few buttons, just because I love buttons :-). There was a small hole that I fixed with a piece from the area I cut off. Then I know how she loves pockets and the arm pit area had a great V shape so I used that area for the packet. I know, awwwwww an arm pit, but hey it is just a pocket. LOL She looks so cute in it :-)
This blog is full of creative and unique recycling ideas. I love to recycle things into new things :-) Milk jugs to dust pans, pallets to walls, bed sheets to kilts etc. Since recently disabled recycling has become an even bigger part of my life. Doors to tables and islands, soda bottle to self watering gardens the possibilities are endless and I have the time. Enjoy and PLEASE post remarks or questions, I love getting the input. We like to breath new life into our favorite old things!!!

A little Love Pallet wall
We wanted some insulation between our living room and one of the kids room. After getting a BUNCH of free pallets, my husband cut them apart. After we painted and stained some for effect. We then used construction adhesive and a nail gun to put the pallet pieces up. Then hung some photos of us, we call it the "US" wall :-) Then my husband decide it needed a little love, so he gave it some :-)

Men's shirt to amazing woman's top
This started out as a thrift store find about 2 years ago. After some cutting and sewing a bit here and there I now have an amazing summer top. The top band is shirring. The straps are some old lace I had laying around. I also sewed a liner into the top band, that was cut from an old soft sheet. No matter what you do nipple chaffing in the summer time sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
