There’s no place I rather be than home

On September 28, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home4 Comments

When I got this skybox to blog the first thing that caught my eye was the design. My mind started to think of how I could decorate it, to create a living space without a big emptiness in the middle and keeping in mind the view from the windows. You can see it without the furniture below. That’s where I challenged myself to completely decorate it and hoping that I would have enough prim to do so. It’s mesh and the quality of the textures are very good. It’s by Dubu and available now at SaNaRae until October 18th.

The other items that are being featured today are some of the decor pieces in the room. Some of the plants on the table and on the stairs are by .aisling. and are available at the Fantasy Collective. There are two sets: the Mandragorae includes four versions with texture change via menu and Herbae includes three versions with texture change via menu as well. Each plant is only 1 land impact.

The vase in the table with twigs and the book near it sitting on top of some other books are by Serenity Style and at LTD The Event. Unfortunately, it is the last round for this event as it was unexpectedly announced to us yesterday. I’ve included vendor pictures of both the plants and the items by Serenity below credits so there is no confusion.

The remaining pictures with the one on top of this text and below are so that you can see the details and quality of the skybox.

My credits lists is huge and while I tried my best to stay in some particular order I might have gotten distracted and wandered from side to side as I copied and pasted. Though as always, if you want to know about any particular item, please don’t hesitate to contact me via comments, in-world or even flickr.

When it rains, it really pours

On July 15, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Role-Play2 Comments

If you ever had the desire to build your own urban city or just wanted some extra filler homes for any other purpose then later today these buildings will be available. The new round of The Epiphany opens and unKindness has the Concrete Jungle Gacha set that is made of all these buildings that you see in both pictures.

We’ve been having some torrential downpours lately, almost every afternoon. It was raining during the making of these scenes so here is the result of that day.

Have a great start to your weekend!

Battle of the Bear Bands

On May 25, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, Life, Role-Play, ToddleeDoo8 Comments

I was happily surprised when I opened up the blogger package of bears from BoOgErS for the upcoming round of The Arcade that starts on June 1st, because of what they represent. It’s musical bear bands.

You see my father was a musician and his love of music was profound. It was his passion. He played the accordion since he was just a young kid. In his last years my dad still played every now and then with local groups and I recall one or two times where he participated in events where they had battle of the bands. I don’t think he cared much about winning.. for him it was just doing something he loved.

Today is the anniversary of his passing and so I brought little me out to play the accordion in remembrance of him. As you can see I suffered a little stage fright.

The Arcade opens June 1st and if you want to get all the latest news, visit their website here.

The band bears gacha will be 25L per play. There are 15 commons, 2 rares, and 1 reward, which is something new. You can get details on the player reward system on their website as well under news.

The other new thing with this June round is that there will be two identical Sims to shop from and two identical homestead sims to cam shop from.

Have a great Wednesday!

One of the joys of motherhood

On May 6, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, ToddleeDoo2 Comments

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s Mothers Day on Sunday so today I am showing one of the breakfast trays that Aphrodite Shops has available to help you honor and celebrate your mother in-world. This version is for a mom and two kids and has some great animations and attachable props to enjoy the food when you surprise her in bed. Lots of other items to choose from if breakfast isn’t your thing.

Little me is drinking chocolate milk in a sippy cup by *BoOgErS* that will be available starting on May 15th at the Color Me Cute event as a gacha item. There are 12 cups in the set with no rares just commons.

The bed that we are on is actually made for a couple. It’s made by Mistique and is available at the main store. It comes in a few colors and each has 20 couple animations.

I am showing one of the four available colors of the hanging rattan chair by HJM Designs. The chair is their item at the Perfect 10 Event that started on the 1st and goes through the 15th of the month. The chair is equipped with 23 single and 6 couple animations. It’s mesh and only 4 prims land impact and a great price of 80L at the event.

Last and certainly not least are all these kittens by Jian. Today for Fifty Linden Friday you can grab this kitten scratching post for 50L. It’s a cute decor item that on touch you can change the texture of the post, kittens and feathers. The other two kittens on the pillows are for Midnight Madness. It’s a unique event that is time specific and limited quantities. Click on the link in credits to visit the web site to learn more about this event as I learned also there is a new option added on this month.

Enjoy the rest of your Friday!

Here Comes The Rain Again

On May 4, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, HomeLeave a comment

There is rumbling in the sky as we’re about to have some severe weather this afternoon. It’s been raining softly so far with just a bit of wind, but within a couple hours it’s supposed to be really coming down hard and furious. I like rain showers, so bring it on.

Before I lose power, which is often the case at times when we have these intense storms, let me get this blog post done. I’m showcasing this 17x8x9m pavilion by The [Den.]. It’s 100% mesh and materials enabled for a land impact of 17. It’s currently available at FaMESHed.

It’s a great furniture piece that has many uses, though I opted to create this relaxing and warm space to sit and ponder or to hang out with family and friends.

Below the credits and video is the vendor ad that shows the full pavilion and not only the portion that I captured in my picture.

Yay! The rain just started coming down hard, so much for accurate weather forecasts.
