Magazine Love... Mollie Makes!

Do you do a happy dance when you visit your mailbox and find anything inside it other than your Visa bill and your Council excess water reminder? I know I do! Last week, I opened up my box to find a parcel from my friend Ben. Inside was a veritable treasure trove of excitement including two magazines from the UK where Ben resides. One of these magazines, Mollie Makes, is kinda rocking my world and I am only pausing long enough from working out how to subscribe from Australia to share this discovery with YOU, dear friends!


Why we don't have a magazine like this in Australia is beyond me. If you love handmade... you'll adore this magazine. Interviews with amazingly creative people, craft tutorials, styling inspiration, and more ideas than you can poke a stick at. It might have been more effective for me to have only folded down the corners of pages I didn't want to come back to, peeps!





Check out an issue sampler here... They also shot a promo video, which is well worth checking out... can you tell I want to be a promo girl for this magazine? Anyway, I am wanting to subscribe to this mag immediately... if not sooner. And in the meantime, I'm finding it hard to resist not whipping a batch up of those divine little strawberry pincushions!

  1. :oO Have you got a much coveted first issue? Not even all of us here have those. ;o) I read a copy (of the 3rd issue - have always been a bit slow on the uptake) over the weekend, and not only did I get craft envy, I felt deeply craft inferior. :-D

    Did you find out whether or not we can subscribe to it over here?

  5. Wow, looks exactly like my type of magazine and you're so right - why is there nothing like this here? Check out this link... I think you can subscribe from here by selecting 'rest of the world' if I'm not wrong...

  6. On the back page of the sample issue is the link for 'rest of the world' subscriptions - about 67 pounds for 12 months worth to Australia.

    Thanks for the link to the sample, I'd seen a bit of buzz around this mag but hadn't really looked into it. Now I'm getting my own copies!!!
