My wonderful hubby and I spent a good seven hours outside today working on the yard, garage, and walk-in crawl space. I only received a total of eight mosquito bites. The grass had gotten pretty long in a couple spots but now after D's expert mowing and edging skills, the grass looks perfect. The front flower bed by the road is also free of grass and weeds now. We worked on that one together. There are a lot of potted plants besides the plants in the flower beds, so everyone needed water. Some were looking rather wilted I admit. There are also about seven or eight house plants around the inside of the house as well. Who ever lived here before us left all her plants. I can tell she must have liked gardening. I personally am not a fan of house plants in my house. I love them in other people's houses, but I don't care to take care of them. I have seen a couple of gnats flying around which makes me eager for them to go. But back to the outside of the house. I love working on the yard with Dan. He is so much fun to be with. Yard work is one of my most favorite things to do with Dan. Regarding the unpacking, the boxes are all gone now. There may be about two or three left in the house but they are ones that won't get unpacked. Well, that is it for now. We are headed out to buy a couch and love seat. I love new home ownership!

Sounds like fun! I did homework this weekend. Home work from school and work. I brought home files to organize them from work. And I did a lot of reading for school. I have more to do. I also need to start my research for my research paper. It is kind of slow going so far.

The gnats are from the plants, get rid of them. You could just put them outside, and take care of them until they freeze. :)

I love you!

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

A New Side Table Arrangement and Jewelery Give Away

Image
I did not think through planning blog posts on certain days when I had a Beach Trip planned. Shortly before we arrived at our rented beach house for the Labor Day Weekend, the owners cut off the Internet service. Bummer. Yes, I could have gone to the Dunkin' Doughnuts and gotten free Wi - Fi but that would have meant being pulled away from this cutie. Miss Wiggles does not like the bright sun (she is a fair skinned red head so I suppose its only natural) so she loved loved loved her sunglasses. Never once did she try to pull them off or attempted to touch them. I think 'cause she sees me where mine, she just knew. In the DIY blogging world, there have been so many neat table arrangements, and arranging every where else from bed sides, dressers , mantles, windows, etc. that I felt I should try my novice hand at artfully arranging my side table to the cozy leather chair in my library (aka, home office). So hear it is. I had this silver platter fit for a Thanksgiving Tur...
