Out with the old , in with the new ....

Hi..... I have been absent for a few months , absent in my mind and sometimes I have even felt more than a little absent in my own body... I don't know how else to explain it........

I have had a life changing experience happen to me personally, But I am starting to come out on top :) ...       ( truly it was for the best but will just take me some time to talk myself into that!!!)

Any ways I will not bore you with little details,All I will say is Its been a few months of Out with the old and in with the new :-D on a personal level and also on the home front .
(I have been sitting here all day thinking should I post this or shouldn't I ?) all I know is that I have missed chatting on here , if it gets read that's a bonus for me :)...

At the moment I just need the therapy and I thank my little bit of web space here that I can come , share some photos and have a little chat..
I have had many many hours and days convalescing and dreaming about a need to change more in our life here at the cottage .......
So here we go, the start of the New year celebration of life...
To start off I will share what I was lucky enough to get off my wonderful hubby for Christmas :) here she is ,, I call her Littly xx

I have had many opportunity's to just sit and crochet , drink tea and suck on chocolate ....
( I would like to share some of my little crochet creations and also the sewing creations I make as we go through the year)

also on the menu have been lots of smoothies and soft foods, ( I will most probably share some soft food recipes as I am trying to find exciting ones)

Onto this shabby old cottage, We have been culling our little collection of crappy old cars and campas... This old girl ( the pop up camper I was so excited about last year is ,, well not so much a pop up as a pull and shove and shake and pull some more and maybe it'll go UP camper) it is just to hard for us to pull up and down ( due to us both having back problems) so we are giving her the little reno and selling .... next caravan will be a newish one we can just hitch on the car and go.... a little over doing up the old for now ... ( maybe just for now lol)

Talking about the old ..we have also had a little shift around in the lounge room , we had old falling apart lounge and chairs ( ..... now we do love a little old and shabby here at the cottage but as "we get older" we are finding we also need it to be comfortable if we are to sit on it! )
 This lounge suite was beyond repair and I had to cover it up with blankets and sheets just to keep them together.......so we have invested in a good leather lounge.

Now here I had to come to an agreement with hubby and "he won" on the colour of the lounge... its a long long way from my beloved "Shabby chic", "New country", "Granny chic" look,,,,, but I am slowly starting to like the style and colour pops I have added..... and the lounge and swivel recliners in the leather are much much easier to keep clean and are so comfy ;)

Alrighty Then,,, its out there and here I am again ,, that's it for me for now ( and I will hit that post button, if I don't start now I will never get back into my delight of sharing what has been happening around here at Avondale Cottage )

Thanks for popping in
Until next adventure
take care
Kris
