welcome winter!

5 January 2011

It seems that most of my winter adventures of the past week have taken place in my car or studio. Unlike Callie, I don’t have a fur coat. I don’t know how that girl is always dressed for the occasion without ever changing. I have been waiting for this roof top to be covered with […]

After all of the bustling to prepare for this holiday season, I want to start giving myself time to take things in. Just like the day I spent at a café in Paris with husband so many years ago. I believe it will be time well spent. Ideas will come and a fresh outlook will […]

handmade with love

28 December 2010

I received a request from a terribly sweet lady asking me to make her man a ring. Seems his wedding band was lost and he was looking for something simple. He wanted rounded edges and a satin finish.

I am still thumbing through the same art nouveau book. This gouache by Margaret Macdonald inspires me for a few reasons. It is celebrating daily life, making a menu into something grand and elegant.

supermarket saturdays : Alisha Louise Designs
