Ciao my friends!

A while ago I gave an interview to one italian magazine called D – La repubblica delle Donne (Magazine No.770, pages 128-129 and 130-131, article by Valentina Pigmei) and I liked that article a lot, well I can't speak italian, but I translated it with google translator, so I believe I understood the most of it. Grazie mille!

PS I've received a lot of lovely fan art photos, thank you so much for you all! You can still send me your photos, I'll pick the first finalist at friday!

The Great FAN ART Competition!

So I have decided to create a competition for you.  You can send your own dream picture to whenmybabydreams(@)gmail.com   (Remove parentheses from @. Only one picture per person. Add your contact details for the prize.)

I will pick the best picture of the every Friday and publish it here in my blog with your name (or preferred nickname.) Between all the best pictures of the week I will choose the winner at Valentine's Day, 14th Feb 2012!

And the prize is…. *drumming*

A lovely basket of gift books, including: GOODNIGHT MOON,  RUNAWAY BUNNY, And of course, WHEN MY BABY DREAMS!

And of course we are going to pick randomly four other winners between all who take part in this competition by sending their pictures before 10th of february 2012. They are going to get When My Baby Dreams -book! 

So now, send your best dream picture to whenmybabydreams (at) gmail.com and you are in the competition!

Paintings and drawings

This autumn my favourite thing was to paint or draw meanwhile I listen audio books from my Kindle. Well, until I got so nauseous that I couldn't draw a line without feeling sick. My morning sickness has been quite unpredictable and abstract. I guess now I know how my hubby felt two years ago, when I got nauseous from his composed music and threw up after we saw movies like Avatar and Up! 

It's totally unfair to feel sick from the things you normally love, luckily this state will pass. 

I can't wait to be able to paint something again! 

Saluki.
(I absolutely love sight hounds)

Epiphany.
(as a teenager I realized that
 I'm not going to be ballet dancer, ever.)

Look who's drawing too!

She's into abstract expressionism.

I tried to draw Croquis from a cornish rex cat photo,
but I got carried away and coloured it a bit. 

Siamese. Meow!
