~OPAM (One Project A Month).....March 2014~




How quickly does OPAM come around!!!
For March I have completed 2 small items
The first is a Needlebook designed by Lynette Anderson which was used for a Friendship Swap at Girls Day in the Country hosted by Kerry







I even used my machine to do a decorative stitch to hold the felt down to the lining!!!


My DD asked me to knit up a 'Snood' from the pattern below and she will finish it off herself
Looks like it will be pretty warm too!!!


Thank you to Sweet Peg and Kris for hosting OPAM again this year!!!

My poor laptop (Pearl) died on me and I haven't been able to get around and comment to everyone and read blogs
Mr Armchair came to the rescue and now I have a new 'Magical Pearl' 
I call it magical as I was just so lucky I had copied everything early March and was able to transfer it all across to the new Pearl......
A good reminder to me to keep everything updated regularly!!!!!!

Happy Stitching......Dzintra xo

Welcome To My World

Hello, my name is Dzintra Ingrid ... have been known as Ingrid and since our Sea Change I have started to use Dzintra ... pronounced without the D ... (but still known as Ingrid, I know, it's confusing ...)

Welcome to my world ... a journal of our Sea Change ... Mum to three wonderful children ... bringing up a daughter with a disability and seeing life through her eyes ... being a new Nanna ... photos ... inspiring quotes ... taking on a cookery course ... the odd recipe ... and trying to get some stitching done amongst all this ...
