Below are some new photos of Kitty and my is she starting to look simply divine! (Thanks to Antony for the photos x)
I drove up to see her today and, as you do with this kind of thing, thought on the way, 'ooh..Why am I doing this again?' there seems so much to do but, as with most visits, once we reached her - stood under her tree in her usual spot, those feelings soon lifted and it didn't take me long to be pottering about while humming merrily.
I had taken back a lot of the interior seating pads but was a tad ambitious in bringing them all home to sew at once, having less at a time means I can work away steadily but have done enough to see how the changes will look (See below) Kitty has a new neighbour so of course I had to go for a nosey! It looked small as Kitty is a larger lady housing/sleeping 5 people - Yes folks she even has bunk beds! Same sort of age and very cute, Im sure they will get along.
I was so pleased to see that even with the lashing wind and rain we've had recently she seemed unaffected by it, windows still gleaming, sides still white and inside still dry, not bad for a van of the 80's, she had also been treated to an exterior cleanup in the way of a hedge trimming, racking of leaves and branches cut back, after all that work done by the site manager she seemed so small but very pretty.
So a few bits done and a chance to take photos of the bits that are changing, view older posts for what she looked like before even a clean and already the difference is clear, this however is a smidge of what she will look like when she is done so stay tuned as I have big plans for this little lady!
