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.

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 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...

The Adventures of Cassie: August 2009
http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 23, 2009. The Last Day of Summer. So much of the next few years of my life is completely out of my hands. I've been having a bit of anxiety over the whole situation, especially when people ask me about what my plans are. In the midst of the chaos of this last week of summer break, I've been cooking a lot. It calms me down. Chocolate Chip, Zucchini, and Flax Muffins:. Pasta with homeade fresh tomato basil sauce with tomato and mozzarella salad:. She needs some cheering up this week too.

The Adventures of Cassie: Welcome to the Dollhouse
http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/09/welcome-to-dollhouse.html
Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Welcome to the Dollhouse. I am really excited about the project I'm taking on. Want a preview? Well you're getting one:. And one for fun:. Can you believe I finally found a dollhouse? Also, the garden is still doing swimmingly despite it being so chilly this last week. Isn't this the most perfect pear tomato! It is so cute! I've got 6 good sized zucchinis waiting for me along with a large number of tomatoes. Time to make some salsa and bread. Oh, your dollhouse is so neat!

The Adventures of Cassie: Back to the Grind
http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/08/back-to-grind.html
Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Back to the Grind. I'm grasping on to the last little bits of summer. I've got a few short days to prepare for the semester - classes start this coming Monday and there is a lot to do. There is a lot on my plate this semester, and I hope I can keep up with it all. I am both excited and intimidated by this last year of school. It has been a really peaceful and cool morning, and I'm hoping to make some progress on these today. I think I'll also be posting later on my garden&...

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: 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!

The Adventures of Cassie: New Vintage Items in My Etsy Shop!
http://theadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/2009/08/newvintage-items-in-etsy-shop.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2009. New Vintage Items in My Etsy Shop! I've been trying to cut down lately on what I own, so one solution to this is to finally post some of my collected vintage items in my Etsy. I've always had a hard time getting rid of things, but I'm in dire need of a new laptop, so I'm looking at it as a fund raising opportunity. I've always been a hardcore thrift shopper - most of what I own has come to me either second hand or through craigslist. Maybe I'll go thrifting. Back to the Grind.
