Public Service Announcement

Red, black and green tea, originally uploaded by mat.teo.
I’m a big tea drinker. Not a tea conossieur by any stretch–just a habitual drinker of tea. I like plain, grocery store black tea. Lately I’ve been buying Red Rose because of the little trinket they hide in the box for you. (Speaking [...]

Come to Mama!

There’s a new addition to the Mew Studio!   For months, Dino and I discussed and debated the decision to add this piece of equipment.  Were we financially stable enough to make this commitment?  Could we really handle this new responsibility?  And most importantly, what we do with all the free time this baby would give [...]

Butternut Lemongrass Coconut Soup

November 25 (butternut squash), originally uploaded by romanlily.
Two weeks ago when the warm weather started to grace us with its presence Dino and I took a drive up to Rhinebeck, New York. We walked around the shops, toured the Vanderbilt Estate and ate lunch at a funky cool restaurant in a converted Baptist church [...]

*Tentative Air Date for CBS Interview 3/19 at 6:30 PM*

Not a very interesting or exciting post today…I'm super busy getting work out the door and haven't been able to find time to write about anything blog worthy.  But I do want to keep you all informed that the airdate for the CBS interview has already been changed.  Originally scheduled to air this evening, it [...]

My Perfect Evening*

Manna, originally uploaded by espion.
Sunday evening Dino went up north to visit his parents for a few days–it’s quite a long distance…five hours in the car. I was swamped with work and had my niece’s Christening so I stayed here at home. As you know by now, we’ve been spending a LOT of [...]

New Favorite Website!

Since I’m quite new to Twitter there is a lot that I’m still learning.  I wish someone would write a manual on Social Media etiquette.  I saw Sean “Diddy” Combs (just typing that name made me feel ridiculous) on Ellen today talking about it.  So, I figured, if celebrities are doing it, I better get [...]

What’s new at Mew?

I think I’ve mentioned before that when I’m super busy getting orders out the door things can get a little mundane around here.  Actually, I hate using that word–it sounds so negative, and I really don’t ever feel negative when I’m working in the studio.  It’s just that sometimes I have to halt production and [...]

Well, shucks, guys!

How about that!  Someone besides my mom actually does read this blog after all!  Who knew?  I can’t thank you all enough for the tons of congratulations, here, and on Facebook and on Flickr and on Twitter!  (Hi, my name’s Alissa and I’m a “social media-aholic”.) I’m definitely still floating around in the clouds over [...]

The cat is officially OUT of the bag!

It has been hard–I’m telling you–to keep quiet about this big announcement for weeks now!  But finally I can tell you what I’ve been on about.
A television crew from the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric just left my house after about 2 1/2 hours of shooting and interviewing me in my studio!  That’s the [...]

I gotta tell you a secret.

It’s big. Huge even. But I’m not ready juuuust yet to spill the beans. I should be able to tell you the exciting news by tomorrow evening.
Truth is, [...]
