Just enough time to get this posted, but wishing you all a great Wednesday. I’m home tomorrow again so things should be back to normal, at least for a while.

Taco Tuesday

003ps-1

A friend asked if I wanted to do a photo together before the year ended and I gladly said yes.  It was fun to do and it was something different as it can get a little static just doing pictures of yourself.  Collaborating with others from time to time is something that I would probably enjoy doing in the future. While I’ve been asked a few times by people on Flickr I have not readily accepted their offers to collaborate for a few reasons, mainly timing and I don’t know them even though I may follow their work or vice versa and they’ve been of the opposite sex.

015ps

I sort of been told this is an old trick in the book for trying to hook up. While I am not saying that is the reason for the invites to collaborate it certainly raises its ugly head in the thought process of deciding whether it’s something I want to do or not. Though we have a whole new year ahead of us and something different would be a welcome change.

Today’s collaboration is with Lotus Mastroianni, who is an established blogger and a friend.  If you’re not familiar with her work, go check her out.  She’s great at what she does.

I’m also wearing a new hair release by Wasabi Pills, which is an up-do and it is available at the Forest.

Today I’m featuring a pop corky game by THOR that is available at the main store. It makes for a good Christmas gift for those who enjoy playing games. I included some information below credits on how to use this game.  Not pictured here is a brick wall that serves as a background that is part of the set.

Now if you enjoy the hunting in Second Life, then you should go visit DRD to complete the Krampus Hunt where you get all sorts of Christmas goodies. Though you must be a group member to participate, but it’s free to join.

Just getting a head start on the weekend

Happy Friday!

Today I am doing a bit of everything from the fashion I’m wearing to the decor I’ve put together.  It’s a long post and I apologize beforehand for not taking more pictures to break it up some. I’m showing a new long hairstyle by eXxEsS called Jaci available on market place and main store.  In case you’re not familiar with her sets; A  has 56 single-tones and B has 56 multi-tones.  The sweater is one of 8 colors available at the Tannenbaum Holiday Market.

The decor is from the Draftsman and Arcade events.  The chair, bench and table are by Shutter Field in collaboration with Decor Junction out now at Draftsman. There are two other tones available in wood and white apart from the rustic being shown. Land impact ranges from 1 to 4 and both the bench and chair have a handful of sit and activity animations. I think 8 or more is considered a handful don’t you think?

The hanging lights and lighted candle on the table are by Hive and are some of the commons in the Home-for-the-Holidays gacha at the Arcade. The adorable husky tangled in lights is by JIAN and it’s one of the rares in the set.  Those yummy bagels on that plate on the table are by Mushilu and were from the recent passed Enchantment event.  They got to me late so was not able to show them previously, but they should be now at the main store.

The remaining decor is the wine/beer set by Onedecor at Draftsman.  I believe that you can purchase the pieces individually or in a full set pack. Also, just to note the wine bottles used on the shelves and also table with wine glass were just unlinked from the wine decor set and used for the scene. Go check out the event it’s ongoing until December 17th.

The scene was created using the Sunrise Beach House by ChiC building, also at Draftsman.  I will be featuring it in a separate post as I didn’t have enough time to get all this done to show it together.

Check it all out in credits and have a great Friday!

Lazy weekends are starting to agree with me.  I think it’s the cooler weather we’re having that just makes me want to snuggle under a blanket.  It’s exactly what I’ve been doing too the last two hours; reclining on the sofa with a throw blanket and watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel.

If I had stayed no doubt I would have dozed off, but that would have meant ruining the start of getting my internal clock back on track.  Instead I got up to come blog, because this brings me a little joy each day and because I’m thankful knowing how much it has helped me to stay focused and centered the last few months.

Today I’m showing a mixture of things.  The first is a new hairstyle by eXxEsS, the Malina that is available in two color packs A and B, which is the difference of single and multi-tone colors. The necklace and top are by [WAZ] and are new releases at The Chapter Four.  The top is available in various colors.  The last item worn being featured are the shoes by ChicChica, a new release at the Liaison Collaborative.  I’m wearing the noir color, but you will find it in 5 other colors and it’s mesh body compatible for the Belleza, Slink and Maitreya.

The decor that I’m featuring today is from a few creators.  The rustic entryway piece in the corner is by [Schultz Bros.] and it’s only available through the purchase of this month’s Deco(c)rate, which works very similar to the Luxe Box.  The link takes you directly to the website so you can learn more about it.

The ladder, artist sketchbook, paint containers and the pumpkin on the entryway decor is by [Merak], and it’s available at this round of The Liaison Collabrative. The remaining items not including the building itself are by Industry 7, and it’s several pieces of their Coffee & Green gacha set available now at 6 Republic.

A day out in the country

Today I am featuring the upcoming new release by JIAN of their lively labs that will be at the upcoming September round of The Arcade.  These are just a few of the dogs in the collection… the animated ones and if you think these are cute wait until you see the static decor ones.

The complete collection consists of 19 dogs, 16 commons and 3 rares with 1 reward to collect after you play their machine 25 times.  There are 4 rezzed wandering pups, 4 worn companion pups, 4 held ones and 4 static decor pups. Then there is 3 animated adult labs that are rare.  The decor pups are not shown in this post, but I can tell you as mentioned above they are cute and just adorable.  The colors of the dogs are white, chocolate, black and golden, which I’ve made sure to feature one of each color in this post.

Besides the static ones all the animals have unique little things they do. For instance the adult animated worn companions are idle, walk, runs, chases its tail, pants, barks and digs in the dirt as shown here. I really loved seeing this as it just brought it to life for me.  To give you another idea the small companion pups are idle, walk, run, pant and bark as well as yawn and scratch its ears as they walk with your avatar.

I can’t wait to show you the rest soon!
