My inner animal

So today Pokey Bolton , Editor-in-Chief of Quilting Arts Magazine posted in her blog the list of Quilting Arts Inner Animal Challenge Finalists and my name is not in... it was lots of fun doing a piece for a challenge and I will certainly do that again.. who knows, maybe one day my name will be on such a list?

I can't wait to see the finalist's pieces but I don't have to wait to show mine.



My piece name : The lioness.

And my motivations was:

My name is Ayala, it is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is a gazelle, a female deer.
On the outside my name suits me, but my inner animal is actually the opposite of the petite and shy looking deer. In the inside I am a Lioness, Feminine and sensual, the core of my family, queen of the pride, a total mother.
I never run away but always move forward!

Creating while expecting

Expecting a child is a very special period in my life. I feel super feminine and glamorous even when my sweater hardly covers my growing belly and I am only just beginning the 4th month..
Luckily I wear my coat most of the day

Everything I feel has of course influence on my work. With the CD of birth confirmation playing on the background I create with sensual colors and dreamy materials as wool and silk, feathers and sparkle and the sweet nostalgia of vintage.




And how could I forget the roses!



And then came Quilting Arts with the challenge "The inner animal" right on time.
I can't tell yet which animal I am inside but it is something wild
I am looking forward to the following 6 months!

M for martine

A day before new years eve was my son's last day in the kindergarden we had a little farewell party. I made a cake for the children and we gave his teachers thank you gifts that I made and my son was so proud to tell everyone that his mama made the cake and the presents

His teachers names are Martine and Debby and I made for each a little jeans purse with her own first letter

M for Martine

D for Debby

I used purse frame with sewing holes and instead of attaching them with glue I stitched them with sead bead.

Happy new year!

Beter later than never
I began the new year with some exciting events...
Best 2010 to everyone!!
