thinking

That's what I've been doing a lot of lately. I'm in the middle of some big decision making. It involves expanding and I don't know if I'm ready for it. There are a lot of doubts and questions. So, while the production work I'm doing is rhythmic, my mind is going crazy. It doesn't help that I'm coughing every 2 minutes (so over it!).



I was thinking that flowers will help calm the mood around here. Before you ask, you can learn how to make this flower in my book. Can you tell I'm dying to show more of it?

In other news I've registered for Mom 2.0 Summit which will take place here in Houston. I'm looking forward to meeting lots of people and learning whatever I can. Anyone else going?

And totally random... How cool are all these? Love them all.

Have a great weekend everyone!

  3. What a lovely flower. You are so creative!

    That Mom Summit sounds interesting, but I am not a mama, so I can't go :(.

    LOVE the notebook looking trays! This is the best link I have seen this week! Thanks! I am going to go offload some of my money on that site now!

  7. Hey, my cousin Sara designed those Fishes Eddy wares- they've been a big success. She's so talented!

    I am also thinking about expansion and whether I'm ready for it. It's a pretty big deal, right? Well, I'm sure it will all work out wonderfully, we just have to get the confidence up and then nothing will stop us! Woo!

  8. Patricia,
    I cannot wait to get a copy of your book! Papercrafts are definitely one of my first loves since I started making handmade papers 15 years ago or so. I cannot wait to have more space to do it though, my husband gets a little cranky when I have every inch of floor space taken up with drying papers!

  9. Michelle - Your cousin!? I love it all! It seems like lots of talent runs in your family.

    Expansion is scary and these economic times just give me great pause. It’s scary and exciting at the same time.

  12. Dear Patricia,

    I love your new Patricia Zapata site, and your book cover is gorgeous - I know it will be a hit, how exciting!

    I have taken your lead and created a separate site for the "artists who blog" interviews, with all of the older and newer interviews (including yours of course).

    It would be great if you could drop by and check it out at www.artistswhoblog.blogspot.com

    Happy 2009 and it's always great to hear from you.
    All of your sites are a big inspiration to me!

    Take care,
    Stephanie
