{ Thrifty Thursday }

I love taking something old and making it "new" again by turning it into something completely different.  I've made little stuffed owlies for our grand-kiddos (well, I don't have Silas one yet) and for the back I used an old flannel shirt that belonged to my sweet Daddy.  That way they'll each have a little something that belonged to their great grandfather, whom they never got to meet....:(

 The feet and beak were from an old leather jacket that belonged to Pappy back in the day!!! ;-)

And, I made a purse out of that same old leather 

jacket of Pappy's and another I found on a sale rack at Goodwill.

You can click here for a tutorial on those.  

I took a pair of $1 yard sale shoes and painted little owlies on them. As you can see, painting/art isn't one of my talents because that little "Nannie owl" looks a bit deformed!! ;-)

  I recently came across a site that gave some really cute ideas for old sweaters......

Doorstops.....or just cute stuffed animals.

Boot slippers out of the sweater sleeves and the bottoms of old flip-flops....wow!

Pillows.....

Purses.....

And, TWENTY-FIVE ways to recycle old jeans......

(just click on the picture to go to the site)

Oh, mercy.....

so many ideas, so little time!!!

I better get off here and get to work!

HOPE everybody has a Terrific Thursday.....

stay safe and warm!
