Kia ora, I have been dealing with a few chronic illnesses for some time now and am moving across a paddock to a smaller and easier to manage whare. I need some help during the last week of April with some deep cleaning of my old whare. If there is extra time (and energy) for yardwork too, that will be a bonus, but the priority is the house clean. Even if you only have a little time to spare, I'd be immensely grateful for any efforts!

Washing clothes/stain removal on otherwise good condition clothing,

Sharing your knitting/sewing/crafty and creative skills with visitors wanting to learn,
Help tidying our shelves and boxes of clothing and fabrics that get a bit disorderly after particularly busy sessions or workshops.
In return we can offer you time credits, lots of gratitude, cups of tea/coffee, inspiration for creativity, possible assistance with any upcycling or repurposing projects of your own and the potential to meet some awesome people in our space.
