DIY with a touch of Marmite
I loved chatting with Timaru craftsman Duncan Cottle about his beautiful work on this ceiling rose. He sculpted, molded and cast the whole thing by hand, with just trial and error to guide him. How cool is that? I found it so inspiring. Chatting to him made me want to give it a go myself. I reckon I might start with something a little simpler first, however. Those Acanthus leaves look so good... but also quite difficult! Maybe an art deco rose, to match my 30s house? Anyway, I'd love to hear from anyone else whose created something lovely for their homes from scratch. Drop me a line and let me know what DIY magic you've been up to!
NOT ONE REPLY! Occasional cleaner wanted
This went out to 23,000 people and even with all the people out of work (108,000 on a JobSeeker Benefit in NZ), l haven't had a single reply! Do you know someone perhaps?
The ad reads:
We have a one bedroom Thorndon apartment rented to an MP and he'd like it cleaned every so often (MPs are only in Wellington about six days a month).
If you'd like this job then please call me on 027 499 1212
He will pay $100 for the work.
