‘Living my dream means I can do what I love, every single day, while being there for my kids when they need me … ‘
Hi – my name is Maya and I am a mom, wife and a Crochet artist and designer.
I was born in Israel, to parents who work in the Art world, so I was exposed and drawn to the whole colorful scene from a very early age.
For as long as I can remember, I have been searching for that one thing, my niche … It’s been a very long, interesting and fascinating journey for me, taking endless classes and courses (carpentry, gardening, sewing, drawing are just to name a few) … My late grandmother even taught me how to knit and embroider when I was just a little girl and I loved it! She was such a talented woman, sewing skirts, blouses and dresses on her vintage sawing machine, taking patterns and ideas from old Burda Magazines she had laying around all over the place. I'd like to think I inherited some of that amazing talent ...
From the day my oldest daughter was born (well more like a week) I knew I did not want to go back to my “regular day job”.
It took me about 6 years (and 3 kids) to reach that point where I knew my time has finally arrived.
So, on a cold January winter day, on 2012, I drove 2 hours to another city to take my first Crochet class.
I don’t need to tell you I was totally hooked from the first moment I laid my hands on that … hook …
On that same year, we relocated to the US with my family (husband wants to fulfill his dreams too), and after 3 months I went downstairs to our basement and started assembling my work space. I am very grateful for having my own private corner to create and Crochet.
This is definitely one of my most favorite things on Etsy - The About Page!
It allows us, you and me both, to learn more about the people behind the pictures. To hear their story and take a sneak peak at their studios .... I think its amazing and what makes ETSY so unique!
So, Thank you for taking the time to read and get to know me a little bit better, it was my pleasure.
Maya :-)
