We finally exchanged on our new house today, seemingly months after our offer being accepted, but actually it was only 75 days. To celebrate we went to Pizza Express in Marylebone, which may not seem that exciting, but we had our first date in a Pizza Express on London Wall all those years ago 🙂 I also received the Put-Together Book No.1 and Stitchettes from the Wee Wonderfuls store, which I can’t wait to make. Today was a good day:)

New friend for Mallory panda Originally uploaded by Jennifer Young. I made a little friend for Mallory but he has no mouth so looks slightly scary. Oh well, better luck next time round. I’m really enjoying sewing. I haven’t sewn in years but there’s so much inspiration on the web and through reading blogs, it makes you want to be creative 🙂

I was hoping we might exchange contracts today but we didn’t, due to loads of difficult people in our chain. Never mind. To compensate, I dragged the boyfriend to Libertys where I looked at their beautiful material and bought some lovely pieces from their haberdashery. They have now beaten John Lewis in my estimation. Waiting for Dominos pizza. Yummy! PS. celebrity BB is terrible!

My Mini-Moopy Bunny I found this mini moopy pattern on a lovely blog by Carly and couldn’t wait to try it out. I’ve used some spare Orla Kiely and Cath Kidston fabric. Not bad for a first attempt 🙂 My resolutions for 2007 include trying to make more things to decorate our new home. I bought The Crafter’s Companion over the weekend and am looking forward to trying some of the patterns out! Originally uploaded by Jennifer Young.

This evening I spotted Mackenzie Crook on the tube at Archway! He didn’t look much like his character in The Office or Pirates of the Caribbean, but I suppose he’s a normal person when he’s not appearing in my lounge. He caught me looking, well, staring open-mouthed, and elbowing my boyfriend whilst mouthing the words “Look, it’s Mackenzie Crook!”. I’m worried there will be a severe lack of celebs when we move up the road. No more bumping into the delicious Damian Lewis in my local Sainsburys, or George Alagiah in Waitrose… Thank god for Heat magazine.

I have a post-office-Christmas-party-hangover, all my own fault, and am therefore feeling very sorry for myself. I am grateful I thought ahead and booked the day off. I have almost finished my Christmas shopping; presents for numerous friends and family, cards for over 50! How did people spend the month of December before Christmas became so commercialised? Who has time to work as well?

Yay, this should officially be our new house in a few weeks. no more flats!
