My little church was just published…
Wildwood - A Small Illuminated Country Church – Glowforge Shop…
I patiently waited for exactly one month…hearing nothing from the catalog team. Finally, this last Friday I sent an email to support asking them to intervene…as well as venting about the extremely long wait. The same thing happened to me last month…for whatever reason, they could not access my instructions but instead of letting me know, it was just ignored until again, I contacted support.
Anyway…yay…finally!

Very nice little church. It should be really popular.

Congratulations, if the quality of the work had any bearing (doesn’t seem to) you’ll have a best seller.

I have three pieces on the waiting list and also making frequent checks on the “earnings” tab. I know they are busy, but tell that to my anxiety.
Your Church is great and should do well. Good also with seasonal variants.

I have cut out my first attempt of Wildwood. The file is laid out very well - so compact that it fits exactly on one sheet. Well done. The instructions are clear and concise. My only problem is execution. I read “glue the steeple” together and I comprehend just as I would comprehend the instructions to perform a gymnastics tumbling pass. Getting it done, however, has nothing to do with comprehension or the pieces being perfectly designed. About the only thing I am worse at than painting is gluing. I think this life long deficiency is because I didn’t have the opportunity to go to kindergarten. I’m going to keep at it, but it has caused a strange ear worm and sticky fingertips.

I’m sorry it’s proving to be such a hassle. That was one of the reasons I was so hesitant to submit it to the catalog. Honestly, I not much of a ‘gluer’ either (I also did not go to kindergarten), so I feel your pain.

Not a hassle - a challenge and I think the end result will be well worth it. Now about the song …it inspired me to do some research about the church and the song. Pretty interesting results. Apparently the church still has about 100 parishioners and people continue to make it a destination wedding location. Iowa’s own Chuck Grassley was married there as were thousands of others. Now you know.

I went to pre-kindergarten and kindergarten at Hanahau’oli School in Hawaii. Had I gone all the way through I would not have had to take college entrance exams to get into Punahou High School.
We had French, Math, History, Geography, and other stuff I don’t remember, but nothing about crafts or gluing. It was also the first time I was ridiculed for my inability to sit cross-legged (a prime sign of MHE, my legs were not built to be able to do that) by my teacher

Nice public service announcement! I actually didn’t know it was written about a real little church. Mine probably looks nothing like the original, but then that’s OK…it was my own vision of it. Are you going to paint yours?..and brown…or ?

The song (poem) was written when no church existed. The church was built, the guy who wrote the poem returned to Iowa to teach music and there was a church where he had imagined one should be. He exhumed the poem and made it a song…the rest is history.
I will make the final item out of printed materials. Yes, brown because my mother sang the song to me and I will make this for her.
