by Joy Maloney of JoyfulHandKnits
I am a SAHM of a 16 month old son named Lucas who is the absolute joy in my life! I’ve been married to my DH, Dave, for 8 years but we met online in a Christian Chat Room on AOL 12 years ago... how funny is that?!
Anyways, I have been writing poetry since I was 13 and, amazingly, still have every poem. I am a proud Navy brat – I grew up in Groton, CT where I was the “oddity” – having lived in the same house in Navy housing for 13 years. I came to know Christ in 1996 after a lot of prayers from friends and family. I am truly blessed to know and be loved by so many. I cannot thank God enough for the gifts He has entrusted me with and for the family and friends He put in my life.
How did you get your start on Etsy?
In January of 2008, I unexpectedly lost my job of 2 ½ years & had a really rough time finding a job. With the encouragement from my husband, I joined a Beth Moore Study & started writing poetry again. It just came to me to put some poetry on a photo I had taken & it took off from there. I was suggested to try Etsy to sell my works & I never looked back!
What does a typical day look like for you?
There is no typical day for me! I am a SAHM with a 16 month old boy named Lucas so my day revolves around him for the most part. When I get a free moment, I happily dive into editing my photos and seeking out the right scripture or poem for the photo. On a good day, I’ll edit 20 or so photos and actually produce 4 or 5 prints for my Etsy shop. I like to post my new creations on my Angela’s Heartwork Facebook page first then I add them to my Etsy shop. This gives my fans on FB a special sneak peek. I also happily do custom orders. So if there is a scripture you like but I don’t have, I will make something for you. I love customizing!
If you could be anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be?
An island… any island. As long as it’s sunny with a slight breeze and I have a pen and paper in hand. Of course, I would want to stay forever, not just one day.
What is your favorite Bible verse?
I have so many! But I love James 1:18
How beautiful is that thought? We are His choice possession… it still amazes me!
What is your favorite Etsy item listing to feature?
My poem/photo: Psalm 56:8
and my scripture/photo: Galatians 2:20-21
and Romans 8:31
