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!!!

~OPAM December~ One Project A Month


My last 2 OPAM's for the year


Connor's Storybook Quilt......front


and back.


Some owl fabric with markings on for an apron that JoJo saw last year and loved


Nice'n easy........just cut out and follow instructions


I added some bias binding to top, bottom and sides and did a fancy stitch along the bib and the hem


And here's the model herself showing off her apron!!!


And loving it!!!

Thank you Sweet Peg and Kris for hosting OPAM for another year
It's been great and still motivates me!!!



******************

It's been a wonderful year for me with my unforgettable trip to Paris and Latvija
Thank you so much to my very generous Son for this
I have loved every minute of it!!!

I'm thinking I might start up another blog solely for the trip as there are so many fabulous photos.
I just didn't get to blogging this trip much at all.......only twice

And so to 2016
how quickly are the years flying by!!!
I wish you all a very Happy and Safe New Year
with Good Health, lots of laughter and Happy Times!!!

Thank you for all your visits and comments throughout the year
It's been such a joy receiving them and makes blogging a really lovely experience
To you all I say

HAPPY NEW YEAR

love Dzintra xo

~Surprise Gift From JoJo, a Blogger and the Smash Repairer~



I've had a couple of unexpected gifts lately

First of all the above fat 1/4.....little white bird and Pirate Pen from JoJo
The Pirate Pen she would of bought as I was in Bay Theatre's production of Pirates of Penzance last year and she still tells everyone I was a Policeman
She bought these last weekend when we had a little respite
so very, very thoughtful of her
Thank you so much Beautiful Girl xoxox


A surprise package a little while ago from Bev
2 little owl mugrugs......one for me and one for JoJo


No surprises as to which one JoJo chose
of course, the Christmas themed one


Thank you so much dear Bev
Mine gets used every single day
You certainly surprised us with these!!!


After Mr Armchair's unfortunate mishap with a kangaroo leaving the car like this


it came back from the Smash Repairer looking like this


I saw Mr Armchair come up the stairs with a bunch of flowers and I was thinking oh how lovely they must be for me
He said look what the Smash Repairer gave me!!!
How cool are they.......and what a surprise
Thank You so much!!!
