Dear Yogis,

Here I am braving earthquakes and everything to be with you.  It was quite a quake at my place around 11.30.  Even scared the cat!

The quake was a timely reminder that we can’t know everything, and that we should be happy right here, right now because we really don’t have any control over what happens next (even if we think we do).  I had a client yesterday afternoon who needed to know this, and the earthquake underlined our chat.  She is not alone.  We all need a reminder.  The cost of electricity is dreadful, but, we can get through it.  The quake reminded us that maybe things can happen that are out of our control.  So enjoy your day.

Thank you for those who as usual turned up at our Luncheon on Saturday.  It was fantastic – I loved it.  The Vic was packed, so the meals were a bit here and there (breaking in a new kitchen staff), but overall tasted great.  Everyone left happy, and talking about the next one.

I know you are all too busy to join us – we are all too busy, but our monthly social time is very important to us all.  Next month make an effort – Put it in your diary NOW.  The last Saturday of the month at 1pm – venue to be decided.  If we can get a table next to the open fire at the Vic, that may make the decision easier.

 

SATURDAY’S EXHIBITION – 2pm at Mt.Macedon Gallery –  – PLEASE COME.

Today I am just finishing up the last details for the exhibition I have been telling you about, the works for which have to be delivered next Monday. The exhibition  opens on SATURDAY the 10th June at 2pm at The Mt.Macedon Art Gallery – next to Stephen Ryan’s nursery (Dicksonia) and The Trading Post.  Please make a date in your diary right now.

Dear Yogis,

Yes, its tiring, and no, I don’t need anything else to “do” I have enough, but where else can I be part of a “TINA TURNER DAY” except at Windarring!  I am not sure what bits and pieces will be in the dress-up box, but I will have something.   One of the clients said they were keeping the lace curtain for me!  The mind boggles!!!  but whatever it is, it will be fun and I have never been sure how to do that.

The photo to the left is of a painting of an old gypsy – not exactly Tina, but I love the hat – Willie Nelson would have been proud of that.

Dear Yogis,

We called the school “YOGAFIRST” because we organised our lives around our precious yoga class, and we still do, well, I still do.  Some people haven’t even got the time to read the newsletters, and find it easier to email and ask me about our class roster.  We all have the same 24 hours – it is how we use it that counts.

DON’T FORGET YOGA TODAY at 1pm, AND THE LUNCHEON NEXT SATURDAY AT 1PM at the Victoria Hotel.

EXHIBITIONS….and time

Right now I have three exhibitions BACK TO BACK, and my house looks like a frame shop, and every moment is accounted for.  I feel like The Queen – a day in 5 minute grabs.  At some level I have organised it like this.  I don’t have time to think about it, but I do have to be disciplined to get the work done.

YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO THE EXHIBITIONS….

1.  I have the ART EXHIBITION (Tarot and Tarot Miniatures featured) which opens at at 2pm on the 10th June at The Mt.Macedon Gallery (hope you have it in your diary!).  If you can’t get a painting buy a card.  

2. Then I have the WEARABLE ART EXHIBITION at the Jubilee Hall in Macedon (Next to Mt.Players) on the 15th July 1pm to 4pm – you need tickets to this. Fabulous re-purposed fashion, day, evening, denim, tattoos and bikie boots.  The shorts on the left here are in process…

Then 3. in August I have a presentation and exhibition at The Theosophical Society in Flinders Street, Melbourne.

PLUS I have a tartan shirt to make, a long dress to re-purpose, a pair of pants to make, and a fabulous evening “punk”  corset to mend.  I think that is the lot today! Today (Sunday) I am framing for the exhibition so after that is done I can concentrate on sewing.

Commissions taken for all of my work – Paintings, and Fashion.  But best of all – plan to come to one or two of the exhibitions.  

TAROT:  Keeping in mind that my days are immersed in the tarot, I think if you are waiting for a reading you could make an appointment soon.  I still charge the same as always $85 per session no matter on zoom or in the studio.  If you want some tarot counselling (not the “fair-ground” stuff) we could get together and you can pay cash in the studio or PayPal.  make an appointment – email me, yogafirst2@bigpond.com
