~300 Post Giveaway...2 Wins...Kate Morton...and I'm on Crutches~


Wow, 300 posts and 4 years on this little ol' blog of mine
Whoever would've thought that I would come this far on my on-line Journal when I pressed that little button that said 'Create'
To celebrate I thought I would have a little giveaway of a Leanne's House pattern (above) with a little something else

To enter just leave a comment and I will draw the lucky winner's name in 1 weeks time


 Another celebration I am enjoying is this pattern by Yvonne that I won on her recent giveaway
Thank you so much Yvonne....I am so looking forward to starting this cushion especially as I have some fat 1/8ths of Lynette Anderson's Scandinavian Christmas fabrics here already



And another win I had this week was through Facebook at Book Publishers Allen & Unwin's site
They asked a simple question......are you a secret keeper
I replied yes but I won't be with Kate Morton's new book The Secret Keeper


 And blow me down I received an email saying I had won an uncorrected proof copy of the book

I remember when I read Kate's book The Forgotten Garden I actually emailed her to say how much I enjoyed it and she emailed me back to say thank you THEN I wrote back and said thank you for the thank you and she thanked me!!!!!!!!!!
You can read this post here


And here is my very own copy of 'The Secret Keeper'

Boy how excited am I


This book along with my stitching will keep my busy as I rest a swollen knee and strained muscle I have developed
see the stocking I have to wear on my right leg along with 1/2 a set of crutches
I am working with the physio to build it all up again for the opening of Pirates of Penzance at
 Bay Theatre Players which opens up in 2 weeks time..............yipes!!!!!!!!!!

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 ...
