Behind the scenes...
... at the studio. This past Tuesday I had the pleasure of welcoming the ladies behind the amazing publication Where Women Create into my home and it was an experience I will never forget. Jo Packham, WWC editor, originally called me while I was vacationing in Florida last week and since I didn't recognize the number on my caller ID I almost didn't pick it up. But alas I did and, oh my gosh, I'm so glad I did because the schedule was t. i. g. h. t. and I probably would've been dropped if I hadn't picked up the phone when I did.
Less than a week later I had three wonderful women in my home and we had so much fun talking fabric, patterns, kids, art and life in general.

After the shoot, we relaxed for a bit in the living room before they headed back to Chicago to continue with their busy schedule. From left to right, photographer Dana Waldon, WWC editor Jo Packham and Jo's assistant Gina.
Where Women Create is a quarterly magazine that celebrates creative women and their inspiring workspaces. I am incredibly honored and flattered to have been chosen to be a part of it. My feature will either be in the February or May 2010 issue. I'll be sure to let you all know as soon as I know! But in the meantime check out Where Women Create in stores like Barnes and Noble, Borders, Michael's & Hobby Lobby. Or you can subscribe on their website. You may even see a familiar face or two in this current issue. ;)
And while you're at it, you can become a fan of WWC on Facebook and also follow them on Twitter. YAY!
well...even though I can never get in that mag....hmmpf....I still congratulate you on the inclusion...such a great honor!! You deserve it...did you ever think a few years back that all this would be?? I bet not....
ReplyDeleteWell I'm going to have to order that magazine because I've looked for it at every book store I've gone to and I just have to have it! I'm so thrilled you're in it (I mean seriously, right up there with Marie Osmond and Mary Engelbreit!). Yippy!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Patty! Can't wait to see the finished product. Nice to "meet" you by the way. Now I've got to buy the "Emma" pattern as I have an Emma of my own. Have a nice night and I'll post more pics on WWC's FB as soon as I get them.:) Paige
