Dear Yogis,

The exhibition opened on Saturday, and already some have sold.  Thank you to those who purchased a painting.  I put them on the wall at an amazing price, just so I can sell them and  get some more and fabulous inks and paints to keep going and keep growing.  Yesterday I prepared three new and larges canvases all ready and waiting for new works.

Yesterday I bought an old push-me-pull-me lawn mower for the nature strip.  I was driving back from Church, passed the op-shop and there it was.  I had to have it, but how to get it home.  I had just paid for it (a ridiculously small price), it was raining, I have a small car, and i was wondering how to get it home when Grace walked into the shop – she bundled it into her car and delivered it.  It was meant to be.  It was all I could do to stop her using it – she has been complaining about a sore back, and this would not have helped.

SATURDAY SEWING BEE.  Although a few people asked me to teach drawing, I might later in the year – right now I would like to teach sewing basics. Last year i had a Saturday afternoon SEWING BEE, and it was well attended.  Another might be quite good. I have been asked to help make a Church Stole (nothing to do with evening wear).  I can do it on my own, or I can invite you all around for a class. These are interesting (simple) items and can be constructed on a sewing machine and incorporate embroidery and appliqué, or they can be completely hand sewn – which greatly appeals to me.  I am also free for you to bring some items to me to be sewn, or mended.  I have some rather startling fabric here that was thought to be repurposed into a doona, but I might make a skirt instead – not a culotte like the one in the picture.  If only fold around here were a little more individual and unafraid in their choice of clothes it would be lots more fun for me!

I don’t know if you recall my lovely slub satin over-shirt, black with red peonies.  I wore it so much it almost fell to bits.  I have recently mended it (finished last nite) and now it looks beautiful.  I oversewed all over with the Japanese moro technique.

I like it even more now, and it will last a few more years although it was not a quick fix.  You will see me wearing it in yoga class again.
