My name is Jenny and I live with my husband and 19 month old boy in a lovely Edwardian terraced house in London, UK. I love making things, especially hand sewing and also have a trusty vintage sewing machine. I absolutely love all things Cath Kidston and Orla Kiely and am enjoying decorating and filling my house with vintage fabrics and anything I buy from vintage shops. I can't walk past a charity/thrift shop without popping in.

Anything to do with sewing. I love making small softies and have recently made my first doll quilt. I enjoy attempting to read different craft magazines, especially Japanese ones. I hoard vintage fabrics, buttons, ribbons and ricrac and use them in my sewing projects. I love spring and autumn rather than summer and winter and look for inspiration in every day things. I also collect postcards and love receiving postcards from around the world.

Roman Holiday, the Usual Suspects, the Lives of Others, anything with Audrey Hepburn in. I'm a member of a film club and trying to be more adventurous with the films I watch so feel free to recommend anything you like :)

America's Next Top Model, Heroes, Ugly Betty, Glee, Mad Men, 24, Heroes, Lost, Project Runway, CSI, Medium, Lipstick Jungle, Gossip Girl and anything by Stephen Poliakoff

gingerbread, hand sewing; craft/sewing magazines; patterned felt and vintage fabrics; sewing notions such as ric rac, buttons and threads; my Blythe doll - a Takara Blythe 'Save The Animals'; Orla Kiely handbags; Cath Kidston fabrics; collecting postcards; researching my family history and cookie cutters!

I don't drink coffee or flavoured teas except peppermint tea. However I think I'm easy to please and if you've put some thought into your swap I will be happy :)

I have one son who is 19 months old called Edward. He loves giraffes, chewing things (as he's teething), and noisy toys.
