Do-it-yourself tips and creations

25


25 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Apr 21, 2017

I can teach you how to cook, bake, or cook or bake something for you. I can teach you how to sew or knit, or make something for you. I love to turn old things into new things. Got a favorite pair of pants with a hole? I can turn it into a bag! Want help making a cool costume for Halloween or even Comicon? I can give you some tips, pointers, and even help you design!

Training & Qualifications


I am a home-making enthusiast who's obsessed with being able to survive a zombie apocalypse on my ability to turn the environment around me into anything I need it to be. I need to find shelter for the night? Let's see, All I've got are a tire, a belt, and a windbreaker, maybe combined with that bush over there.... Hey look pinecones! Never know when THESE will come in handy...

I learned how to sew in high school. I was a techie for our school plays. With a public school budget thinking outside of the box to get the show to go on was REQUIRED. I've learned some incredible tricks from some amazingly creative people.

I've been baking since I was 10. Ever since my mother told me "if you want cookies, make them yourself", the possibility of not having to rely on others to get food for me was opened up to me and it's been growing ever since. My husband comes from a long line of amazing cooks who "can make dirt taste amazing" and after tasting his grandmother's cooking, I believe him. My courage to experiment in the kitchen has led me to discover some amazing things.

The freedom to make my own stuff is wonderful. I can look at things and think "oh, I see how that was made, but if I were to make it, I would do it THIS way instead of THAT way." I am more than willing to share my freedom with anyone who wants to learn.

Availability & Preferences


It depends. Send me an email and I can let you know whats down. I'm not available on Sundays.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About April Hall

I am a mother of two strong and intelligent little boys who keep me on my toes. I love to learn anything and everything. I feel life is about learning, and enjoying yourself as you do so. I strongl...y believe in the barter system. I have worked for various people who used it to make a living, and was amazed at what services could be exchanged. For instance, I once worked at a sandwich shop where the owner exchanged his amazing sandwich making skills to get the floor of his restaurant replaced. That's right, he exchanged $20,000 worth of labor and materials for the equivalent amount of cost in sandwiches. Those men (there were 2 of them) and their families ate well for several weeks. I've traveled the world and seen how people barter in 3rd world circumstances. These experiences helped me understand the true value of money, and I honestly think we'd be better off without the filthy stuff. But unfortunately for me, the majority of the world disagrees. I am religious, but I don't let that get in the way of meeting new people and hearing the wisdom and knowledge they have to share. We all have some unique knowledge that if we could all get together in the same room and listened respectfully and with an open mind, we might find some amazing truths about the nature of the spirit and the world.show more
