I filled and leveled the topsoil, leveled the pots and then out purple fountain grass in the middle (grows to be about 3-4 feet tall) and then planted two supertunia (they get to be huge) vista bubblegums on either side of both.

I got most of my planting and outside gardening done yesterday. Was way to excited to stop and take before of everything,  but we saw MAJOR transformations just about everywhere. Here are my big driveway planters. I had already started on the back one.

Fixing the swamp in the backyard. 96 linear feet of drain pipe installed, 8 tons of gravel shoveled, trench 2 ft x 2 ft x 96 ft, and a whole lot of digging. My back will never be the same! 4 legged supervisors included.

Hard to see from the picture, but it shows a BIG difference to me!

So happy the back area of our lawn finally looks nice! It had over grown honeysuckle, vines, and thorn bushes. I cut it back and removed a dead tree that fell over last year. I did have a little help as you can see.

After: chalk paint w/dark antiquing wax with java gel stain for the tabletop and seats! Love how it turned out!

Jenny Frith - my daughter is a senior and we've been doing lots of creative things around the house to keep her mind off of not getting to have a normal senior year...so we painted this triangle wall in her bathroom!

I finally have time to clean the garage. When we moved here in September the lady before left a treasure trove of junk including 20 year old cardboard all over the floor, shelves filled with broken flower pots and tattered curtains filled with bug nests. 3 days, 8 garbage bags, and 5 big creepy spiders later it is complete!

This project will not be complete for a few more weeks. When it is complete we will have a pool and deck. It's been a lot of work but when it is completed we will be able to enjoy and create memories. We will also have a since of satisfaction seeing the fruits of our labor and as a parent it helps me to teach my children the value of hard work and knowledge of construction, and how math and science plays a big role in our day to day life. We also had to save a nest of chipmunks along the way. We saved 4 of 6.

Before: My grandpa gifted me this Amish table and chairs when I graduated from college. I want to keep it forever but now I don’t like the color of the wood. Refinishing the set has been on my to do list for years!!

Trying to get myself back into creating music. Haven't really done it in years, so I figured this would be a good time to give it another go!

Connie Tuckers house Before and after landscaping

I have every intention of redoing the landscaping in front of our house as soon as it stops raining around here. These bushes are all over grown.

We painted the morning room a light sage green and replaced the light fixture with this farmhouse light fixture. I feel so fancy and "put together" now.  LOL

We moved into our house in 2017. With 4 teenagers in the house all playing sports, we hadn't had time to paint. Our ceiling fan light also stopped working so we needed to paint and replace the light fixture.

The before was taken a few years ago during a heavy rain.
Full disclosure-we paid someone to get rid of the brush, but the grass won't grow before this before and after is over.

This is what is looks like today:

I thought I'd use the bit of extra time that I have to up my crochet game. The throw pictured below is the most challenging pattern I've ever attempted. I'm making it for my nephew and his bride - their wedding is scheduled for mid-July but may not happen as planned.

I started this painting project almost 2 years ago!! I got to a place I couldn't reach and stopped because my husband was out of town and didn't want me to break my neck while he was gone...
