Projects

So I am not sure if this is a "nesting" thing or what but I have been working on finally getting some of the things I have been waiting FOREVER to do done. The main thing I am proud to say is almost done (we will have to wait to finish when there is more $$ to spend), our backyard. My WONDERFUL husband and his Dad spent many of Brad's days off getting it all cleaned up and set up for our sidewalk. Then with the help of my dad, brother, brother-in-law, and Brad's friend Moe, they laid the cement for a beatiful sidewalk that Braylee loves! After all that hard work, we paid someone to come in and dig trenches for sprinklers and lay the sod (we wanted it done for the Fourth of July BBQ).

I don't have any pictures of "before" but imagine this being all dirt pretty much










All the stuff on the sides, was cleaned up too by my AMAZING father-in-law, who spent about 4 to 5 hours cleaning it up for us while I was running errands and Brad was at work. Big THANKS to him cuz it looked GREAT!!!!!

Another project I am currently working on is re-upholstering the patio chairs. The current fabric on it was/is worn from 3 years of dirt and sun, as they sat on the patio and we never used them. I cleaned them off a bit for the BBQ but they were pretty much a lost cause so I got some nice upholstery fabric and started the project. I am half way done. Here is a before and after. The before picture doesn't show how bad they really are.

Wow! That looks so good! I like how the sidewalk is all curvy and I LOVE the pattern you chose for the chairs. Nice!

Those chairs turned out so cute! I just want to buy chairs so you, I mean I can re-upholster them! Can I have yours? Think about it.
