Dear Yogis,

I am quite busy.  I just finished a heap cards for the Woodend Second Hand Bookstore (they are a great one stop book shop), Now, I can get back to doll making….  Strange dolls are calling me this time.  Forget the “Alice in Wonderland” dolls.  These are “philosophers dolls” coming up.  I would like to make enough so that I could have an exhibition in my studio.  

 

WORKSHOPS COMING UP..

Dromkeen: June, TeaBag workshop.  Making, painting.. Everything Tea Bag.    DROMKEEN GALLERY (and tea rooms) – A tea bag painting workshop there in June.  I only can teach 8 people, it is an intensive so get in early for this one.    A lovely venue for an afternoons drive…you might like to have a drive, sample their confections and have a look at the gallery.  It’s a gorgeous house and gallery that has been trapped in time.  The fireplace and surround especially are straight from the Downton Abbey library.  A lovely place to sit and chat.

Woodend Studio: Art, Christmas in July Studio Doll Exhibit.

Woodend Studio: Making your own pads. Save money save the environment.

CHANGE OF TIME AND VENUE:  Don’t forget….ZOOM teacher training on a weekend once a month. SUNDAY 26TH APRIL AT 3PM.  Just an hour or two… I first suggested this over Christmas, and I have not had one response until today. This all tells me that reverting to a postal newsletter with an attached print maybe a way to get your attention.  Email me for your link.

The next MANTRA MAIL CLUB mail out is on the 15th May. Certainly I will include  a lovely print, a tiny line sketch,  a recipe, and more…     Go to www.yogabeautiful.com.au to find out more details.  I am hoping in time it will run beside this newsletter, and you will get it monthly in the post.  This email newsletter will just be for changes, new classes etc..

ART SALES:  For those of you who asked “Yes” Etsy is still worthwhile.  I just love that they let me know who looked at the store, what they actually looked at, who has things in their basket, and best of all –  people are still buying.  People in Australia – no big postage fees!!!

THE WOODEND SECOND HAND BOOK SHOP>  My little artworks and cards will be on show and sale here from next week.  It is a fabulous shop with trays of books on the pavement all for $1 all the time.  I think they are closed one day a week, check out their web site – Tuesday I think.

Our Monday zoom class is doing well.  We are 6 weeks into working on our Divine Purpose.  I think we have all learned HEAPS.  There is one, maybe two lessons to go – depending on questions.  We only have an hour on Mondays, and the same core group come week after week.  Thanks gang – NEWBIES ALWAYS WELCOME!

NAMASTE – JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

Say hello to “little Oodle” on the left. She is one of my dolls at Art on Piper, Kyneton – open 7 days a week.  I was really jumping yesterday.  There was no-one in Woodend, the freeway was deserted in terms of a Sunday, but Piper Street was jumping.

“THE FRUGAL YOGI”  It is going to be a tough couple of years for most of us.. 

The Government is going to do well but they will be the only ones.  I always recall a little Jewish lady who started a dress shop on the first floor of a building opposite Grand Central Station (New York) and she did it during the great depression – her family still run it.  Anything is  possible if you have the right energy.

May it will be helpful to start up a more frequent blog to unite our community and give them tips to make do and mend in all areas – everyone is going to have to buckle up.  Like we did in Covid, but with a twist.  A different kind of survival

 

Don’t forget….ZOOM teacher training on a weekend once a month. SUNDAY 19TH APRIL AT 2PM.  Just an hour or two… I first suggested this over Christmas, and I have not had one response until today. This all tells me that reverting to a postal newsletter with an attached print maybe a way to get your attention.  Email me for your link.

TAROT:  I contacted the universe via the tarot and pendulum at the beginning of this crisis and was instructed that this part of the crisis would be over in 6 weeks, and that looks correct, but I didn’t understand at the time that there was a “part two”.  I will have to research this.

For those of you who are interested in counselling/advising via the tarot then I can do it on zoom.  If you want to quizz me about your spouse, well I am less happy with that.  I like chatting about things that we can change.

The next MANTRA MAIL CLUB mail out is on the 15th April. I have a lovely print, a tiny line sketch I have made of the dalai lama, a recipe, and more…     Go to www.yogabeautiful.com.au to find out more details.  I am hoping in time it will run beside this newsletter, and you will get it monthly in the post.  This email newsletter will just be for changes, new classes etc..  The painting on the left is of Gracie my cat.  A portrait.  Yes, she does look at me like that, after all she is a princess, you may not get it in the mail-out unless you ask particularly.   You can always commission a portrait of your dog or cat (or bird)!

ART SALES:  For those of you who asked “Yes” Etsy is still worthwhile.  I just love that they let me know who looked at the store, what they actually looked at, who has things in their basket, and best of all –  people are still buying.  People in Australia – no big postage fees!!!

I have suggested that I may have all my classes via zoom especially till the conclusion of this crisis.  The time may come when this is a better option.  We did it in covid – we may do it again, especially if petrol prices preclude people coming to class.  I must say I applaud that we can travel by train with no charge.  They should leave it, so we can travel free every day all the time.

TAROT:  I contacted the universe via the tarot and pendulum at the beginning of this crisis and was instructed that this part of the crisis would be over in 6 weeks, and that looks correct, but I didn’t understand at the time that there was a “part two”.  I will have to research this.
