Dear Yogis,
Sunday evening again – no time in the morning ro do the newsletter.
Yesterday I was at the Mt.Macedon Gallery – I took in a basket of Mildred painted on small rocks, as I was placing them out they were selling – how good is that! Maybe I didn’t charge enough? Also sold cards at The Woodend Bookstore, more please. I plan in the next few days to place my soft sculptures on stands. It makes such a difference.
You would never believe it but I have a Thermomix, accidentally.
I was commissioned to paint a rather larger painting than is my usual, and payment worked out to be the thermomix. I thought well if I don’t like it I can sell it. But I don’t think I will. I have been chopping herbs today, coffee beans later on. I think I am going to save money! Always a pleasure. It was so easy. I have seen others use it and the noise was awful – mine is OK, maybe the blades on my machine are sharper than theirs, though if I grind up too much coffee then I think they will be not so efficient in the long run. I look in the fridge now and see things I can use my TM for. I will let you know how I go. The coffee alone is an adventure. Coleslaw, nut butters, almond milk, hemp milk and so on. No souffles or triple decker sponges! You never know, I might be in the kitchen long enough to use the dishwasher!
You know whats going to happen don’t you. I am going to get so enthusiastic that I will want you to join me on this journey. Jayne Boyle one of my graduates who has a yoga school in Bendigo told me that this would happen. Her husband uses theirs all the time – I am told that guys really love using them. Give a by a tool and he will use it.

WOODEND SEOND HAND BOOKSTORE: My Cards and framed Beatrix Potter style paintings on tea bags, placed too, too high in the windows out of the sunshine. LOOK UP! When I was there today I noticed that the girl next to me at the till had a handful of my greeting cards, we chatted and she bought more!!!
NAMASTE – JAHNE
It has been an unusual weekend.. raining almost non-stop, dark, grey. I tried to get enthused by writing, painting, and in the end I got on top of things I just had to complete, then I played around with cards, and T-Bag cards (I am very low on cards at the gallery) and began a project to add seeds to the cards, so if you bought a card with a dandelion on the front, you could plant the tea bag afterwards and the seeds would grow!
