You know what they say... "spare the duct tape, spoil the job."

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

You are so wise to do a course.

I'm face with very limited electriciyt because I rewired my house and something went wrong.

It's still undefined what that something is, though. sad

But I do experience great joy in having done up my appartment myself.

I now can tile, hang up wallpaper, curtains, rewire electricity, install electricity, and I know how to screw.

It's so nice to do it all by yourself.

And just don't get frustrated when things don't go perfect first time you try doing it. Nobody can learn without making mistakes.

I'm so proud of you, woman!!!

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

I got my tools from thrift shops and Dutch version of E-bay.

Even ordinary utilities are cheap if you search for the bargains or second hand stuf.

My wallpaper is left over stuf that I got very cheap compared to shop prices.

And you gotta smooth that duct tape out - that's the mark of fine craftsmanship. nod

Duct tape bust form...

get and old t-shirt that fits well and is long perferably, and wrap yourself up in about 3 layers of duct tape. Cut yourself outta that new t-shirt duct tape by cutting a line down your back and over both shoulders and carfully remove yourself out of it.

Now tape the t-shirt back together.... perfect bustform!

lol

Duct tape curtains... pillows... seat covers.... mats... purses....hats.... dresses... etc.
