Down by the water wheel

Doing a late post today as I posted to my other blog this morning.  I’ll probably be doing double posts either on the same blog or vice versa like today, one on each. That’s because this month is a bit busier with the unexpected Fantasy Gacha Carnival event taking place.  It had been announced in the group some time back that the last one in August would be the last of that quarterly fantasy event. Apparently that wasn’t the case for now and so it means maybe doing one or two posts a day until things are back to my normal pace with just main store and ongoing monthly events.

I am showing the water wheel mill by Mushilu at We ❤ Role-Play.  This is available in three colors; the blue version as shown and then a red and green one.

I’m wearing a sweater and jeans by [sYs] available at the Liaison Collaborative. Both are mesh body compatible and the jeans can be found in four options and the sweaters in twelve color options.

This is a quick post as I have just enough time before I have to go out the door this morning.  I’m showing this lovely morning glory spring set by [CIRCA], currently available as a gacha set at the Dreams Gacha Fair.  I listed all the pieces used in the picture, but there is a few more pieces that complete the set. The sit pose I am using is not from the ottoman, but it is actually a pose by [evoLove], which is available at the newest round of GENRE.

I’m also featuring some landscape items by Little Branch.  The wild grass and the white cherry blossom trees available now at the current round of the LTD The Event.

All these spring colors are sure to brighten up your days.  If the spring colors don’t do it, check out this adorable English bulldog.  He is cute, isn’t he?  I’ve yet to name him, but I think that I have a perfect name in mind.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Epia 001

My sister PB gave me the keys to her house while she’s away and said make yourself at home and so I did.   I should send her a note letting her know she needs to make a pit stop on her return trip to restock her liquor cabinet.

In the meantime… “Salud!”

Cheers also for the new combat boots that (epia) has released for this round of FaMESHed.  The boots are mesh and 3D modeled to fit and come with 8 choices in texture for the boot and 3 for the metal.  They can also be re sized by HUD or manually.

Shutter 036

Quick post to share that the wooden shed and the garden cushion I’m sitting on are from Shutter Field and can be purchased at their store in-world today at a discount for Lazy Sunday.

I spent my evening time last night sorting through my inventory organizing some items received and trying to see what I can do to take a few pictures to honor my commitment to those creators who share their creations with me to blog.   It’s two fold in a way.  I am trying to distract myself from over thinking and not let myself be hooked to give into irrational fears to the challenges that are forthcoming in the next few weeks.  That’s the problem with being the strong one sometimes, because when it’s your turn to face challenges no one really thinks you need a hand.

May you enjoy the rest of what remains of your Sunday.

Faced with inevitable change…the choice was mine.

“…Deception and manipulation kill relationships because they are the opposite of respect and honor.  Only honesty and openness build deep relationships.”  ~ Calvin Dillard

Frozen in time 4

My father was a musician and he played the accordion from a very young age teaching himself and learning from hanging out with musicians who played.  The music he played is known as “Norteno,” which means northern and a popular form of music that originated around the Texas-Mexico border.  Dad played basically everything from corridos that are long ballads usually about political and popular issues of the time and today some of the most popular songs are those that involves the drug trade, a major controversial issue that has resulted in the loss of lives for many musicians who sang those songs.   He played rancheras, which themes revolved around love, patriotism and the music is usually a waltz, polka or bolero.

Mexican music to me is a lot like country music where it’s all about love, lies, betrayal and heartbreak.

This accordion is a new release by Happy Mood at the SOU by Creation JP event, which is what prompted me to go to the event. While not the same kind of accordion my father played, which was the button accordion, it was a timely release because what I gained that day was an answer to a plaguing question.

Happy Sunday!

Sometimes there is no turning back…

“Sometimes all you have to do is forget what you feel and remember what you deserve.”

004

Every now and then I’ll have regret over something that I did or didn’t do or something said or not said.  In the last couple of years I’ve taken more of a stance to keep my thoughts to myself not out of fear or the fear of the repercussions. I think it’s a learned behavior and taking on an attitude of trying to maintain the peace — maybe more my peace of mind than anything else.  I can’t control anyone’s actions or behavior either way, though I can control mine.  Being of the stubborn sort I tend to get into that place of becoming resolved and making a decision and there is no turning back.  That doesn’t mean I am inflexible, though more cases than not…  I’ll live with the consequences even if it means heartache and sleepless nights.  In the end it’s all about what is in your best interest.

Enough of my self-analytic babble.

This jewelry that I am wearing today is from [sYs] and it’s got attitude written all over it.  You can find this and much more at the Jewelry Fair that runs until the 28th of September.
