The pumpkin harvest… it’s almost time for pumpkin pie

On October 13, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, General, Home, Landscaping3 Comments

I don’t recall any specific memories of carving pumpkins when I was young. Though as an adult I’ve carved a few for my mother who usually makes a traditional Mexican pumpkin candy, referred to as “Dulce de Calabaza“. It’s a candy that can be eaten all year round, it’s got a bit of a hard shell on the outside and sweet and juicy on the inside, if a bit gooey.

This pumpkin carving animation is part of the hay wagon that is a collaboration between Decor Junction and Shutter Field for this round of On9. The wagon has single, couple and activities that are available by menu. I’m showing the rustic version, but you will find a grey version available as well and both have a land impact of only 5. It’s a fabulous decor piece for any landscape where you want that bit of rustic or country feel.

I’m also showing the Autumn Carriage House by Hive, which is available at Collabor88. The carriage home has a land impact of 47, with an open room on the bottom with static pull down stairs that lead to the top level where you have another open room. It’s quite cozy and serves for a great little get away place.

The last item that I am featuring is the rare 2-pumpkin hay bales near the carriage house by Bee Designs. However, in my picture I modded them by making the pumpkins invisible. I have included the gacha vendor ad below so that you get a proper viewing of the hay bales, that I will feature again with some more Fall/Halloween pieces as the holiday approaches.

I included the last picture, which was the full view one before I took to cropping.

Happy Thursday!

Today I am featuring these modern bars by HJM Designs for the upcoming round of Perfect 10, a home and garden event that takes place at The Cookie Jar sim. The bars have a land impact of 8 and come with single and couple animations, one of which is a bartender as shown. You can find these bars in an assortment of colors at the event.

The other decor item that I am featuring is the lighted tree behind me with lace by unKindess and is available at the Wayward Winter event. This tree is part of the dark set, but you can find it in several wood tones.

The last item that I am featuring is the new hair by enVOGUE called Miriam. It is a cute bob with hat that comes with a Hud to change the color. You can find this new hairstyle at the main store.

The Arcade is open and if you’ve been trying to get in I hope you were successful. I heard there were lots of people whining of not being able to gain access even using their hud attachments to try and get in. Some literally doing it for hours.

I am wearing one of the rare items from Every Pixel is Art (Epia). The Egyptian princess necklace comes in a pink gold and is one of the 20 necklaces that can be won for this round of gacha goodness. It’s such a beautiful piece as many of the others in the set, which I hope to show you some more of.

I am also showing another awesome landscaping tree that Little Branch has released for this round of FaMESHed.

All details below.

Lesson 41

“We’re all human and we all goof. Do things that may be wrong, but do something.” ~ Newt Gingrich

I couldn’t help and use this quote, because it perfectly fits these pictures of goofing off while in the office and by rights, totally wrong if it’s against office policy. Perhaps your experience is different to mine. I don’t know of too many companies that allow you to take the phone off the hook, sit back and recline to watch a movie on the computer and my favorite of all… to have a buttocks planter?

I wouldn’t advice anyone to indulge in the activities above — unless you want to take a forced week off. Smiles.

Lesson 41: Take the Week Off!

Congratulations! Your assignment this week is to take a week off. Simply acknowledge all the great work you’ve done so far and luxuriate in your free time. Have fun!

Your Self-Love Assignment

Bask in What You’ve Accomplished! This is a week to bask in the glory of what you’ve already accomplished. If you encounter any resistance to giving yourself time off, breathe in, and remind yourself that you deserve it!

See you next week.
