A little tongue and cheek for you but we are sincere in this blog post my friends. After living this line of workings into my own life, & family, and helping others for over 2 DECADES i come to realize i am a SEASONED PROFESSIONAL & SPECIALIST in the Art of "HOW TO, DIY" in RRR,
MISSION STATEMENT;
TO HELP PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IN THE MOVEMENT OF
REFURBISHING, REWORKING, & RENEWING OLD, 'WORTH~LESS' STUFF.
BY TRANSFORMING IT ALL INTO BELOVED CHERISHED LIFELINE KEEPERS.
IN ORDER TO HELP OUR WORLD EVOLVE INTO WHAT OUR CHILDREN
NEED IT TO BECOME.
Classes and workshops available in 'Learning the DIY world':
EACH CLASS IS $25/HR. most classes are 2-3 hours each depending.
~Presenting~
OUR IN HOUSE REINVENTION WORKSHOPS=
1>*Declutter, REORGANIZE your home
2>*REVAMP your wardrobe
3>*RENEWED accessories~!
After years of life experience and growing in this field i realize the truths about the RRRs.
My last 3 shops centered around developing this notion into a Lifestylingz Collective. I was taught many lessons by MANY teachers, on MANY subjects that all pertain to the path of fixing all i came across and bringing life back from what was deemed 'worth-less' and now it is my pleasure to offer these lessons ~KEYS~ to you~!
From the last of my 3 shops to now i have been developing and processing the progress needed to help
'BE THE CHANGE I WISH TO SEE~!' = A SINCERE & SERIOUS QUEST TOWARDS the fulfillment i wish to convey through my teachings/classes i now offer, as well through my online Etsy store creations, & through my sharings on our FB page. From where i stand i really see the art of RUSTIC has turned from what was my job for the last DECADE to now see it becoming a trend. AND in parts of the globe its a RESURGENCE, a MOVEMENT of distinction and CREATIVITY that is a POWERFUL RESPONSE in the face of the CHALLENGE put upon fellow human beings to take the ability to change the world into your own hands one DIY project at a time~! RECLAIMING the ANCIENT TEACHINGS OF OUR FOREFATHER & FOREMOTHERS. This way is not new in the least, only REFRESHED from the archives of Human development as it has great VALUE in being one our SAVING GRACES in the face of all this POLLUTION, and CORRUPTION of our RESOURCES. As well as taking a stand on the CORP.~front and not just being seduced into the BUY BUY BUY mentality.
~To be honest, this MOVEMENT OF RRR is needing to become a WAY OF LIFE, a NECESSITY, a LIFESTYLINGZ if you will~! Not only to help solve our over making of stuff PROBLEMO, and HELP CLEAN UP the piles of disposed of goods lying to waste in LANDFILLs, but also to REINSTATE our sense of FULFILLMENT IN DOING GOOD THINGS & MAKING GOOD STUFF HAPPEN for our planet; MOTHER EARTH.~
"My classes are about Combining the ART FORM of REFURBISHING EVERTHING you own. Taking an oath online to only fix and repurpose your stuff and not buy new for 2 /4/ 6 months to a year. To sewing and restylizing your clothes while you watch TV. To trading DIY recipes, having FIX IT DAZE events where a group of ladies fix stuff together. To plugging into the greater communities that are spreading and sweeping the world in our efforts to STOP THE STUFF INSANITY~! No matter what part you play, if we all start to revolutionize our homes, our belongings, and personally take part in a few DIY projects each week we can start a BEAUTIFUL RIPPLE on the waves of the OCEAN of over population STUFF before it comes in and 'FLOODS' everything in a way where we are drowning in it. That is why i am a long standing advocate of helping ppl FIX WHAT THEY'VE GOT....so stay tuned my pretties, we shall share lots more on this subject. & if you see something noteworthy, or want to learn more about what you can do, or if you have the "I HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF" syndrome, well DR. GOOD STUFF can help~! :)
