i've wanted to try painting over an old piece of artwork for a while, but have never found just the right piece. until yesterday! i had spontaneously stopped by goodwill to pick up a few things and came upon his pretty little lady. what do you think?!<br />
<br />
i have to admit i was a little nervous. i actually liked her as is, so i was a bit afraid i'd ruin her. i think she turned out pretty cute in the end though!<br />
<br />
this is a fun idea for adding some interesting pieces to your walls. if you do try it however, make sure you do a little research on the original artwork first. it would be a shame to paint over something well known & worth a bit. xo<br />

my husband ran over a bunny nest with the lawn mower the other day. fortunately, none of the bunnies were hurt, however, mommy rabbit took off. so... now i'm raising 8 baby bunnies. in my kitchen.<br />
<br />
i can't get enough of the cuteness! they are so sweet and snugglie. because their eyes are open and their ears are popped, we are guessing they are about 2 weeks old. this is good because they need to be nursed any younger than that. thankfully, all we really have to feed them is clover and dandelions... both of which we have growing abundantly in our yard.<br />
<br />
we will release them in a week or two. i've heard stories of this happening to people and the bunnies stick close to the house after they are released. i'm hoping if i snuggle them enough they will remember me. until then though, i'm enjoying every minute with these little stinkers!<br />

we have a little girl who is hosting her 6th birthday party at <a href="http://www.urbansassafras.com/" target="_blank">the shop</a> tomorrow. it's a butterfly themed party and so i made her this little puppet as her gift! cute right?! and so simple. i had everything already lying around the back room!<br />
<br />
i think this could be a great give-away to any spring birthday party. or as an impromptu toy for the kiddos at a backyard cookout. can you think of other ideas for this easy gift?<br />
<br />
happy weekend friends! xo<br />

i finally holed myself up in my art room the other day and worked on a few pieces. above, are the abstracts i finished. i'm obsessed with the colors.<br />
<br />
i find abstracts to be very modern. i like them on a big blank wall. what do you think? do you decorate with abstracts?<br />

i have been wanting to try a vertical garden for over a year now. last week, i finally found myself with the right supplies to give it a try. something to note is that the first picture above is NOT mine. i found it online, so that you can get an idea of where i'm going with this...<br />
<br />
here's what i've done so far:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>i filled a shallow wood box with spanish moss. this box was actually an unfinished tray in the wood section at the hobby store</li>
<li>i then layered soil on top of the moss and smashed down</li>
<li>using a painted wood frame, with the same "free space" as my tray, i flipped it over and stapled chicken wire along the back. what i mean by "free space" is if you have a 12x12 frame, you will need a 12x12 box.</li>
<li>then i used wood glue to adhere the two together</li>
<li>finally, it was time to plant my succulents!</li>
<li>lastly, i layered moss around the plants to keep the dirt from falling out once the planter is vertical</li>
<li>now, i wait. i think for a couple weeks, hopefully no longer. i have to wait for the roots to establish a grip so that when i hang my planters on the wall the succulents don't fall out.</li>
</ol>
<div>
what do you think? have you tried vertical gardens yet? i've seen them done in pallets, but i can't even imagine how heavy that would be. i'm not sure i have a wall that could hold one. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i have a few other ideas for some, so we'll see where that takes me. xo</div>

this was one of those projects that turned out completely different from what it began as. i saw <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/269723465157460761/" target="_blank">this</a> on pinterest and decided to give it a try. except after i rolled the magazine strips and started gluing, i decided i didn't like my version. and... quite truly, i had lost patience with cutting, rolling, gluing, over and over again.<br />
<br />
after sitting back and looking at it for a while, i really enjoyed the horizontal version much better. the rolls shooting up felt like a city skyline to me. then i thought to myself, "but, what am i gonna <i>do</i> with it?"<br />
<br />
a couple more cups of coffee and i had it figured out. alas... my new paintbrush holder. how do you like it?!<br />

nests make the perfect spring decor, don't you think? i tend to make one each year for our family table and this year, i painted my wooden eggs gold. i mean... why not?! they look so pretty with the black & white feathers nestled in an antique bowl.<br />
<br />
my boys keep trying to trick us though... occasionally they will sneak one in their pocket in the mornings before going out to our chicken coop to collect the eggs. then one of them runs in yelling about how we have a chicken that is laying golden eggs! you should see their faces as we play along, pretending to be amazed.<br />
<br />
it's all fun and games until one brother throws a lovely golden egg at the other. when it doesn't break, their jig is up.<br />
<br />
mommy gets her decoration back.<br />

what do you do when you get a new macro lens and the flowers haven't bloomed yet?<br />
<br />
go to the botanical gardens, of course.<br />

next time you get carry-out, keep the styrofoam containers they come in! this is a fun way to teach kiddos about pressure, texture & printing/stamping. you can use a pen or pencil to create a pattern or drawing on the styrofoam and it will leave an indention. then by brushing over with paint and transferring to another service, a design is created.<br />
<br />
so... now you have another reason not to cook tonight! {wink, wink}. happy weekend friends!<br />

these blooms were once colorful hydrangeas i believe. but no one cut them for display on a table or in a wedding bouquet. now they are dried up and barely hanging on to their stem. i still think they are lovely though. lovely, leftover blooms.

i finally splurged and bought myself a macro lens. if you remember, i have been simply <a href="http://cassandrapence.blogspot.com/search/label/macro%20photography" target="_blank">flipping my 50mm</a> to get the macro effect. i am loving the detail that a real macro lens picks up vs. my previous hack.<br />
<br />
the lens arrived on my porch on friday and i immediately went outside to play & practice. being the annoying friends that my chickens are, they greeted me at the back door, ready for their close-up.<br />
<br />
aren't they pretty? i mean... they aren't cuddly or cute, but they <i>are</i> pretty. i'm proud of them for surviving the cold winter and you can even notice how it has deteriorated some of them a bit. just after a year, you can see their age. i think it makes them more interesting though... and to be honest, it's easier to tell them apart from each other when they each have a special characteristic.<br />
<br />
anyway, be prepared for some more macro photos over the next few weeks. you know i'm going to be obsessing with every little detail (<i>every little detail</i>... get it? eh?). xoxo<br />
