I bought it!

Yep, I bought it.
It settled today and fortunately the dream I had where the old owner wouldn't leave...did not come true.
I may have even done a little skippy dance around my new lounge.

And I definitely did one around the kitchen. Yes, that's a DOUBLE oven!!! Ahhh...
Buying this property is step Number Two (Number One was 'stop talking and do' which had to be combined with 'stop being a big-fat-scaredy-cat!') in changing my career or at least expanding my horizons to include craft as an earner as well as a passion.



And this is what happens when your boyfriend takes the photos of you putting the SOLD sticker on.
Yep, that's my butt.

Very, very excited about Sew It Together which is only TWO SLEEPS away.
See some of you there and I'll share with the rest of you after the weekend.
