The Adventures of Cassie: Instability

http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/08/instability.html

Sunday, August 16, 2009. I took this photo a week ago to the day. I was driving home in the evening, and the sky to the south was bright with heat lightening. Most of it was hard to see through the dense hazy sky, but it was so beautiful. When I got home, Nate and I sat out behind our apartment (which looks out into this field), put the camera on a tripod, and tried to catch the lightening. I only got a few successful shots, but it was really nice to sit and watch the sky light up. Follow me on twitter!

The Adventures of Cassie: In the Studio

http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/08/in-studio.html

Wednesday, August 5, 2009. I've been working on some unresolved work lately, and I think I'm getting more towards where I want to be. The piece above is about 4 x 6" including the frame, it was done from this salvaged frame. From the thrift store. I really like how it turned out. The second painting is much larger, but still has an oval format. The frame I'm using is this one. Which I thrifted a while ago. It is painted in the same color as the frame above. August 10, 2009 at 6:45 AM. Back to the Grind.

The Adventures of Cassie: In the Studio

http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/08/in-studio_10.html

Monday, August 10, 2009. I've been chugging away with some ideas I've had for a while now. Lets see where this goes. I've also been getting a lot out of my garden lately. Everything is ripening and maturing all at once. My favorite (at the moment) is the swiss. Chard I feel like I am eating candy because of the colors. And I've been using herbs every day as well. Clockwise from the top left: thai. Basil, cilantro, chives, and lemon balm. My sunflowers are taller than me as well. :). Hi all, thanks for vi...

http://abbyvanstraten.blogspot.com/2009/10/its-been-awhile-again.html

Wednesday, October 7, 2009. It's been awhile. again. Sales have been going relatively well! Well' for me is more than 3 sales a year :) I've had quite a few within the last week, so that feels pretty good! My "I carried a watermelon" magnet seems to be quite a hit! 3) Wedding plans are starting to move along. I got a wedding dress! I won't tell you which one, but the designer is. Love him.) I spent way more than a pretty penny (which was not the plan) but I absolutely love it! January 12, 2010 at 6:10 AM.

http://abbyvanstraten.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 13, 2009. It's been awhile since I've posted and so many cool things have happened since then! 160;First off we had our first. 160;Paul had been bugging me about letting people surf on our couch for awhile now.  I only said yes because I thought. 'who the heck would want to stop in Stoughton? 160;But only three days after we 'opened our couch' on the website, three girls asked to surf it.  I was a little nervous, but said yes.  And am I glad we did! 160;It was so awesome!

The Adventures of Cassie: Home Sweet Home

http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/09/home-sweet-home.html

Thursday, September 17, 2009. Good sense would tell me to go to bed because I teach in the morning at 8am. But the next few days are going to be very stressful and busy, so goodbye good sense! First off, I've been photographing my dollhouse before I rehab it. I wanted to get some straightforward before and after shots to highlight the changes. Here is the before:. I've got a bunch more to edit. I'm also in the process of repainting a bunch of thriftstore frames for another project. House for sale Philipp...

The Adventures of Cassie: Nate's Show at the Fixx Coffeehouse

http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/08/nates-show-at-fixx-coffeehouse.html

Sunday, August 9, 2009. Nate's Show at the Fixx Coffeehouse. A couple of nights ago the husband played a show at the Fixx Coffeehouse in Milwaukee. Both my younger sisters, my sister's fiance, and my dad made it out through the fog and the rain to see the show. It was a nice relaxing night of acoustic music. He played with a good friend of his, Tony Memmel (Nate just got done recording his new CD), and they switched off throughout the night. It was nice to see my sisters as well!

The Adventures of Cassie: In Full Bloom

http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/08/in-full-bloom.html

Tuesday, August 4, 2009. Here are some of the rest of the goods:. Yesterday I grabbed some leaves from these and made myself some tea. It was d-lish. These have been sprawling like mad, but no cucumbers yet. Pretty flowers though! I can't wait for these to start ripening. I don't know if many will make it past the garden without me eating them! We've also been enjoying the chives and thai basil on a daily basis. :). Well you could do what I did and move your entire garden with you! Follow me on twitter!
