This blog is all about me......I come here for respite in between caring for JoJo (our Daughter who has Special Needs)......I am addicted to starting new projects......I am becoming a fabric-a-holic... I love to try out recipes... take a beach walk and breathe in that salty blue air......love to have coffee...sip a glass of champagne......read a book......I am Queen of the Armchair and am inspired by all the wonderful blogs out there!!!

~A Class with Deb Louie...A Primitive Book...and Pirates of Penzance~


Last week I had the absolute pleasure in attending a very comprehensive quilting workshop at Steph's with the lovely Deborah Louie


I did a one day workshop and boy did I learn heaps!!!
Above is fabric Deb had drawn up for us showing cables, cross hatch and straight lines where we learnt to lift and drag...
Deb also showed us how to prepare a quilt for quilting


My lift and drag...



Cables and cross hatches
I had never really been shown this before and I am so pleased I did this workshop
I thoroughly enjoyed it and hopefully will be able to attend the 2 day one next year if it runs
Thanks Deb......I have learnt so much from you and can't wait to do some cross hatching


During the week I received this Primitive magazine from The Stitching Post which I couldn't resist and ended up signing up for it
lots of lovely projects in warm autumn colours


Rehearsals have started for Gilbert & Sullivan's Gilbert and Sullivans Pirates of Penzance at our local Amateur Theatre Group
I'm in the Chorus of Police and learning heaps......even some acting and singing along with a bunch of other Highly Nervous Police......and having lots of fun

I'm away this weekend with a bunch of school friends that I haven't seen for a while
Mr Armchair is going to take over care duties for JoJo while I go and kick up my heels with my buddies

So I better go and pack now and I'll be back after the weekend with some pics of our rehearsals!!!

Good Morning Everyone on this beautiful Sunday morning!!!
JoJo and I have been bogged down with a cold these last few days...so I thought I would cruise around and see what's been happening in Blogland...
I have always admired the look of 'Primitive Style'...the gorgeous warm rustic colours and the intensity of some of the work...
I have come across Brenda who is having this beaut woolen style quilt giveaway kit!!!
Brenda also has her own shoppe...so hop on over and have a look and tell her I sent you!!!
Have a lovely day everyone...Dzintra♥

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 ...
