Mon Alisa Design Shop is OPEN!!!

Wow, what a weekend! The shop is finally open! I had a fantastic opening day with lots of customers stopping by. It was lovely getting to know people who were either from the region or just visiting. My beautiful parents came up to help me with the girls, gardens and everything else. Big ups to my mother who cleaned up my studio....a HUGE job! I'm so lucky to have such great support.

This post is rather rushed I know.  I'm trying to get everything ready while I'm away at this........

Uh huh, that's right..... I'm seeing my lady tonight. I'm so excited! I'm packing like a banshee!! 

Enjoy your day,

Busted Custard

Sunday morning. Haidee is coming out of my bedroom with a twinkle in her eye, camera in hand.

"Give me that please missy.... What have you been doing in there?"

"Nuffink mumma" 

'Have you been up on my dresser?"

"Nope"

"Alright then, hop into the kitchen for your snackie, and no more touching the camera...k?"

"o.k mumma"

Fast forward to this morning. I'm loading photos onto the computer and look what I find......

Cheeky rascal. But what else should I expect from a child who does this to me.......

Seriously. This is how I look as I write this post. Cotton buds in my ears and goggles to help me see the screen. 

One hot mumma!

Take care all,

Country Graffiti

That's about as wild as they get out here folks. It did give me a giggle though.

Meet Scott and Charlene...

 

H's latest purchase so he doesn't have to mow the grass as often.

They are a bit cute. The white one is a girl and the brown/white a boy. There were so many names I could come up with (the obvious one being Kenny and Dolly) but in the end I chose Scott and Charlene. 

I think it has something to do with the curly hair, and the wedding dress....

                                              

Not much of a difference really, except that the sheep would have eaten the bouquet.

Have a good day folks!

Church St Gallery ::: James Kearns

Last week I visited Mudgee town for one reason only. To check out Church St Gallery which has been opened by the very talented James Kearns (or Kearnsy). I remember first reading about him over at Mandy's blog 16 house. I had no idea at the time that he was living out my way.  He was featured in the local paper recently promoting his new gallery and I just had to rush in and have a look......I was blown away. Below are some photographs of some of his work, however my camera doesn't do them justice. They are all so rich in texture, beautifully haunting in the layering of paint, lace, papers, silhouette and colour. 

This man can truly rock a painting.

Lovely aren't they? It's exciting to have a contemporary art space so close. Haidee and I had a great time meeting James and chatting away. A top bloke. 

You can see more of Kearnsy's paintings on his website here. He also has a blog. 

Church St Gallery is situated at 98 Church Street Mudgee NSW. It's a great space :) 

Definitely worth a look see.
