Carnival Blog - Summers Here!

Summer’s here! My neighborhood is beautifully peace and quite. The weather is just awesome (when it doesn’t hit triple digits!). When it gets this hot I stay indoors and love doing home improvement projects during this time of the year. My home is where the heart is! Here are photos of past summer projects.


Nook Before & After

Family Room Before & After

Notice how warm it feels with the colors? All in all, my interior house was painted with 9 different colors by my husband and I! This summer’s project is getting my studio set up for my Etsy shop! Stay tuned...
During cooler summer days, I spend time in the garden. I love to watch the flowers or trees bloom with vibrant colors of summer. Here are some of my garden photos.

Buganvilia tree & the flower is a dahlia called Elma Elizabeth

Dahlia: Sir Alf Ramsey and Melody Dora
One of my first jewelry pieces inspired by my passion for flowers.

I also have a grape plant which inspired me to make grape cluster earrings!

Do you see the bird nest on the right photo?

Aside from projects, summer time is vacation time! This is a whole new topic....until next time!

  2. I am one who HAS to have color on the walls and your photos illustrate exactly why - color is so much better than white! Beautiful photos and gorgeous jewelry!
