South Woods Retreat

On October 28, 2015 By AlexaIn Uncategorized1 Comment

The [Den.] has released a new home currently out at Uber. The South Woods Retreat is low impact, mesh and materials ready, so it is best used with advanced lighting on.

I nestled it among my current home location, so I am not crediting the landscape in this post. Shoot me a comment if you want to know anything specific.

Ironies

On June 30, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, ToddleeDoo4 Comments

Laundry Schedule: Sort today, wash later, fold eventually and iron… ha ha

It’s the last day of the month and that means starting tomorrow a whole new round of events begin. One of these events is “All The Little Things,” a monthly event for the little ones centered around a monthly theme. This new round is all about “Saturday Morning” and will begin on July 5th. Here are just a few things you can find.

The cute jumper that has cats all over it worn by lil me is from Cottontail. Two other gender neutral colors can also be found at the event. The retro television by Little Llama does remind me of my Saturday mornings growing up watching cartoons on a television almost just like that one. The screen is texture change to other kid friendly pictures or you can just add your own as well. The pillow is also by Little Llama and I textured the plain pillow, but you can find three other patterned pillows that come with 5 sitting animations at the event.

So does anyone iron these days?

Days of yesterday

On June 21, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping, ToddleeDoo1 Comment

It’s definitely summer here in my real world living in Florida. The temperature is registering at 94^°F even though it feels more like beyond 100^°F, especially with humidity being at about 44% and relatively no wind to help. If you’re experiencing the same summer heat here in Second Life, then BoOgErS is here to help with these cute playful summer stuff for the kids out now at Summerfest ’15. The pool has some cute animations like the two shown here, of floating and doing the happy dance.

I remember these pools when I was a kid and we used a regular yawn sprinkler with the water hose to have the most amazing fun. Those were some good ole days. BoOgErS has also just introduced their first outfit, which part of it is the drawstring shorts in black with stars. The rest of the outfit is a hoodie and you can find these in a couple of variations at Shiny Shabby.

Hammock Home

On June 11, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Home3 Comments

A quick post to show you the latest home by The [Den], which can be found at the recently opened LTD Event. It’s mesh and materials ready and you will love that it’s only 34 prims land impact.

I found myself a little thoughtful at first at how I would decorate it, especially the long narrow area near the windows in the top picture. Though I feel pretty good with the end result.

Another day almost over.

On June 1, 2015 By AlexaIn Furniture, Home1 Comment

The Perfect 10 event just started today with some new home and garden decor. The natural tone wicker rose set by Willowinds is one of the items you can find during this round. The chaise comes with single and couple animations and the ottoman comes with single poses. To complete the set is the wicker basket and tray with drink and book.

The other item you can find at the Perfect 10 event is the wall set by Galland Homes. The set comes in individual pieces giving you the ability to design your own layout for whatever your needs may be. It can serve to surround your land or to make an enclosed area like the one I created adjacent to your home. It is a low impact mesh product, at 1 prim land impact for every two linked pieces.

The Perfect 10 event runs from June 1st to June 15th.

I will be doing a second post a little later to show you some more items from the event.

Happy shopping!

[ARIA] @ 6th Republic

On May 6, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Home4 Comments

I didn’t plan on doing a post today as I didn’t do much last night while in-world outside of walking the dark style fair and a sneak peek into 6th Republic. Normally, I take pictures during my time in the evening and blog first thing in the morning or every now and then later in the day when I have a free moment as often times I’ve already started the post with the picture and credits done. The only drawback to not posting in the morning is that then I’m at work and I don’t log into SL at work and while I can access the blog and post I don’t have access to my pictures to upload onto Flickr.

Then I came in-world tonight and found this set from [ARIA] and having had a long day and feeling slightly worn out I set to decorating this kitchen to relax and just leave my work day behind. It’s called the Emmerich and can be found at the opening round of 6th Republic, a new decor and landscaping event that will have exclusive 100% original mesh in a theme selected for each round. This month it is industrial and the modular kitchen set that [ARIA] has created comes in both PG and adult and as always it comes with texture change options for most parts.

The comforts of a home.

On January 22, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Home3 Comments

The newest round of N21 is here and I am featuring a couple of items that can be found there. The first is the newest living set by [Aria] called the Delilah and consists of the sofa with decorative pillows, ottoman and throw, decorative vases with poppies, canvas pile and the birch trio. For this exclusive round [ARIA] has made three exclusive upholstery textures and can be purchased as either pg or adult version.

The next few pictures is showing the newest home by The [Den.] that can be found also at N21. The Riverview is a 54x32x12m mesh home with a land impact of only 95.

I took pictures from two sides of the house to give you a glimpse of how it looks from the outside and the next two pictures shows you a view of the inside downstairs.

As you can see it is very spacious, which means you can move freely without bumping into things or people. You can check it out for yourself at the event.

Airing out the d…y laundry.

On January 7, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, General, Home, Landscaping7 Comments

Again, just recently two of my pictures were selected for the photo cover of two Flickr groups that I post my pictures in. The first group was SL Home & Decor and they selected one of my New Year’s Eve pictures in which I blogged product for Aphrodite. The other group was [CIRCA] and they selected my Christmas post on their products I blogged during the holiday. As of this posting they are still up, though possibly just a click away before being replaced with another photo.

Those are the unexpected little treats that have made my time doing photography in Second Life a nice and worthwhile experience. Thank you to those groups and for everyone that takes the time to favor one of my pictures on Flickr. It is always interesting to see the pictures that get the most hits, because it’s usually the ones I spend the least amount of time on or not my own personal favorites.

As an outlet to relax and have fun I just let myself go with the moment. There are some days I’m just more inspired than other days and a scene gets developed without any planning or thoughts beforehand. I call it a success if I’m really lucky and my mind isn’t suffering short term memory loss that day and I’m able to recall items that I have in my inventory to be able to use. Then I can use my Flickr for inventory control.

Sorry, there was no airing out of dirty laundry… that solitary d really stood for daily.

Enjoy your Wednesday! 🙂
