We Bought A House!!!!

March 13, 2008 / Molly / 7 comments

Yes, thats the big news that I promised to share. Of course there are no photos to show you just yet as we won’t move in for about 3 months but we are excited. The property is in a suburban area but looks very rural with lots of trees, a big backyard, fruit trees, grape vines, rainwater tank, grey water tank and a deck out the back! It has Jarrah floorboards and is close to Fremantle (10 mins) which is something we never thought would happen.

All credit goes to God who has given us this house as its better than we ever dreamed! Of course now comes the packing and settlement procedure but I have lived in our current house for 22 years (with a couple of years away in the middle for Bible college or missions trips or travel), basically since I was 12 years old so I’m looking forward to being in our own home. Photos much later.

Get Creative Magazine

March 13, 2008 / Molly / One comment

This week I heard from an editor of Get Creative Magazine here in Australia. She let me know that I am featured in the March edition of the magazine. I actually forgot about the interview I did after everything thats been happening in our house since October! (baby, travel interstate twice, hubby travelling overseas and some big news that I’ll put in the next post, not to mention Christmas and New Year!).

If you are in Australia look out for the article, according to the site its about Etsy and on page 46. I’m yet to receive my copy of the magazine and see it myself, look out for the interview with Amanda Hunt about polymer clay.

Exciting!!

A Recent Commission

March 13, 2008 / Molly / No comments

Recently I was given the challenge of creating a pair of earrings with a tropical theme, the main criteria was that they had to include a pineapple. That pineapple was a challenge but I’m fairly happy with the results. The buyer is happy so thats the main thing. I’m always more critical of my own work (bit of a perfectionist!).

Another reminder that all the money from all sales in March (in all shops and from here including commissions) will go towards SIM’s Camp La Joya in Peru. You can read about it two posts down. When I say all money, I mean all. If you buy an item for $20.00 then the whole amount goes to the campsite, postage is the only amount of your payment that won’t go to the work.

So, here are the results:
