Notice to repeat callers!
Hi Neighbours! I hope your all well. Sadly this message mostly isn't for you, however if your have any questions or requests for my services please get in touch (text or emails best). FYI There is very limited space for Christmas orders (as below sheds light) often people leave it till to late to ask 😔
While their are some creations on my profile - we can discuss what type of bespoke piece may suit your requirements best 😁
Now for the reason I'm posting....
It's for all the marketing places who have been repetitively calling me. Please do not waste your or my time as already asked, I'm not a business (as mentioned in the description of this listing and on the calls -this is a hobby) I enjoy to create and share the joy with the bespoke pieces I make - usually at a loss to me due to the amount of time spent on the pieces.
I have very limited time around full time employment, my home, family and family's sports, I need more time than I have, as most families do. I have to make time for orders and enjoy the opportunity to do so where able.
So as you can imagine I dont advertise (other than this listings presence) supply cannot meet the demand and no profit gained (bar the enjoyment of creating and seeing the receivers joy) If I charged a rate to run a business the cost would make it less accessible and less enjoyable.
Neighbours still reading?? Wow! I hope you at least enjoyed the cute photo! (Washing baskets are very effective cat traps)
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
