was
a miniature houseplant swap, and I immediately wanted to try the cactus garden
that I saw over at Caseymini’s. Sadly,
even though I searched and searched for potpourri with convertible ingredients,
I was not so fortunate.
What
I did find was some dried field flowers at Michael’s, and when I snipped off
the stem and sanded it down, then painted them, they looked pretty much like
cactus to me. I also found this pink cattail, which I snipped up into flowers,
and used up my cardamom pods for succulents. I noticed some interesting
pods on the ground outside my daughter’s music class, stuffed a bunch of those
in my pocket and later snipped and painted into a weird stiff grass, also stuck
in most pots.
