It may go more just girly game thoughts than my random travels/photos/creations on SL alone. Granted I still love SL, but I've gotten into WoW.......so my SL time has been cut down. I would still update about things going on with SL, and a I'm sporadicly jumping around on games you may actually have more of interest to read. So let me know what you think. And yes....I'm still a bad blogger.

To anyone who still actually checks this thing, lol.I'm a bad bad blogger. As well as a bad creator. *chuckles*Anywho, next time I'm on sl I think I'll be creating something fun, I have an idea in my head and I'll ship it out when i get it made. I'm hoping to make it with sculpties, but that means I'll have to get in that program and play some more.Anywho, have a fun day all!

I haven't had time for much beside RL as of late. And it doesn't look like I will in the near future either. So while the PLRG group will stay active, I wont be able to do much with it for the time being.Thanks so much for all your support and time. If I ever get the chance to create something I'll send it out group wise and let everyone know here on the blog.Again, I'm really sorry and thanks so

Freebie time!I sent out that cute little scarf I made to you all, in two colors no less ^-^. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.RL has taken me over lately and with the gift giving holiday here in a flash, I've been working my hardest to get my homemade gifts finished. Whew...still not done.Plus the line has taken a different direction. Nearly whole avatar creation going on

So for a bit now I've been working on the clothes for the shop and now I'm working with a friend on the shop. Were working out the layout and textures like crazy people.As for the clothes, I am still testing seams and patterns out. It's amazing to me how much a texture changes on the grid. The theme of the clothes I've been working on trends toward steampunk. Though not just the grungy look, some

I finished a scarf in world that I didn't hate ^-^ So I'm posting it here. This isn't the exact finished product as the little sculptie flowers will have a better texture and the ad shot won't be as gray......But heres what they look like! I plan on making a good set of colors and textures so you can match all those fab fall clothes!

Still working on the new fall line. Got lots and lots going on recently, so things have slowed down a bit for me in the photoshop area. *laughs*I've gotten more inspired to make jewelry lately, in rl by the way, so I've been making some cute cuff style bracelets. I'm thinking I might make a few of them in world too! And then I'm going to make some tall boots and probably some cute scarves for

Building and I haven't been getting along lately. I could whip up some new skirts in two min. but have no interest in doing so. I started some new shoes and my hands got mad at me. (I have some arthritis problems, le sigh, at mid 20's) So that put an end to that. I thought I might be able to work on them some more Wed but when I started my hands started acting up again. I thought maybe starting

With the issues lately I haven't been able to work on anything in world. I've been working on tops and textures in photoshop like crazy but unable to torture prims the past few days.The other day I made a new sign for the shop. I felt like the other one was just a bit hard to read. To much to look at. I also felt like going with an art deco theme. ^-^

So I've been putting my nose to the grindstone the past lil bit and cranking out some new items.Heres the list.A group of tattoos. Like I said what comes out is what tickles my fancy on a certain day and recently I've been watching Miami Ink!So out came some tats.I've got a ton more in the processing stage in photoshop so it wont be but a few days till they come out as well. Vintage navy style

Well if you've stopped by the Oval at any point in the last week or so you've noticed its no longer there. I shifted my focus in game and started making things again. The gallery was becoming a burden as I was paying all sorts of $L for a spot of land that wasn't getting visited. It became too easy to set up a gallery in sl * more that people realized it* and no one was renting gallery space

I found out recently that my favorite maker of ridable horses was making an avy. So now I can be a pony ^-^The release party was a blast with special dances made just for all the little hoofers and the Dj was spinning some great tunes. There were races for the ponies and we all had a blast.The avys are....well....here take a look.I think they are great. Of course I love the detail that Erin puts

Sorry if you have been waiting for me to post again. Life has been a mess here. May is always a hectic month and this year it was even busier than normal. So as to if this blog will be back to updating every day....I'm sorry to say no. I Plan on updating once a week. That will give me time to take some good shots, edit them, find the SLURL if it's not in the main sites database, and think of

And what better to share with you all than some art in SL. Oyster Bay is hosting an event that brings a new piece or two every day. They have an artist who is creating art and replacing it with a new piece at midnight sl time every day.

One of the sweetest guys I know gave me a very special gift for my birthday Thursday. He built me my very own club!It was just for my birthday party, but it was really cool. He went with my favorite colors and a very modern theme. He also took the time to do a really neat mirror floor effect.I helped with the shopping for the party, but he didn't let me see the club until it was finished. So when

Lets start out in what I know best, Furry.With Lost Furest Creatures reopening its doors with a new look I thought now was as good a time as any to start talking about avatars. If avatar looks was a college class, I'd have at least an associates by now. =^-^=So I figured I'd share my knowledge a bit.Since I mentioned them first lets start off at Lost, They are not hard to find, you can look up

Being Valentines Day and all, I thought a few special places to take your sweetieFirst off, Seagrape is a romantic place to take somone you love and have a special area all to your self. There are themed areas that once two people walk in, a little sign and velvet rope pops up saying that the area is occupied. Each area is themed differently and all very relaxing. There is a chapel to have a

While the update was being applied, I wandered around some of the popular places of sl through others..and I found a place that caught my eye. The Doodle House. So you know just what I did when I logged back on, I hit that ever popular search button.When I arrived I found myself in a quaint little neighborhood. Cute little homes every where and very nice clean streets. I spotted a pavilion and

Well today I thought I'd take you to some of the more intimate spots of Vixens Isle. There are hideways to take your sweetheart and great spots to just relax with somone you like as well.First off there is the Amazon Hideway. Where you can relax jungle style for a while with somone sweet, or all by yourself if you feel like it.Next we have the Bunny Showers a great spa in the sky to take the

Vixens Isle Geisha Village is a peaceful retreat. Great spots for meditation.I like to lounge around here when I need to think up a new idea. There is a soothing spa with a pavilion filled with soft pillows to lounge with friends or just reflect on the day.You can even get a taste of the culture and have a nice meal of sushi. Mmm. Salmon, my fav.There are many buildings in the village, all

Vixens Isle has a couple of great spots to race your friends and try out some stunts.The first of these is Mario Cart racing. You can pick up a hud and a car to drive then head out on the course.There are blocks to run through and plenty of space to do some sweet turns. There's even a ramp to jump and catch some air.I am not the best driver so I didn't do as great as some of you drivers might.

To Vixens Isle Stargate Beach we head next. Where whales splash and play and you can lounge on the beach near a roaring fire. There are plenty of beach towels out to lounge on and even a raft if you feel like getting a bit closer to those orcas.Up the hill from the beach is a boardwalk platform.Here is where we host some of our events that are more suited to the warm sun.

Vixens Isle...Fun for all ^-^Ok, so Im a bit partial to the place, but there is just so much to do on this island. So I am going to start you off on a tour around the island. To find Vixens, search for Vixens Isle and you will get a direct teleport to the mall. Which is full of great stores to shop at, lots of which the creators actually work at the club as well.

A friend took me to a place I can only describe as silly fun. Its a room full of Macro furs. ( Now for those who havn't had the chance to see one, they are so tall, most of us are about the size of one of thier fingers) This room is set up like a dorm room and is full of Huge furry folk.Which can prove dangerous at times, as some of them are bullys and like to squash little critters like us.

After a long few days without any adventure and no internet to boot, I felt swimming was needed. I used the ever fun search button and found a few places to swim. One caught my eye as it said there was more to do than just swim. So I checked it out, and they were right, Aquafrolic is definatly a fun spot to swim and more.

Well, the last time I blogged, I said I'd be back on the next day. As you can see that didn't happen. I went to log on the next morning and couldn't get a signal worth a flip. Then I couldn't get a signal at all. Muttering and sputtering I called my cable provider, yep outages in my area. No luck until Thursday they said.

Since I felt like swimming, I decided I'd look for somewhere else than my pond. I found that there are plenty of great places to swim, but one in particular caught my eye. Innisfree is a quiet place to take that someone you love or even just like ^-~Its full of romantic spots to sit with your honey bunch and just look at the view. The waterways around the area are great for a quick dip, and there

Well I headed into space and caused some trouble. I think I may have rearranged a star pattern, Just kidding ^-^I got to take a shuttle into space at the International Space Museum and I loved it.I really did have fun exploring the depths of space. I've never really been all that interested in it all, but it was fun to see all the shuttles and planets. ( or non planets- they do have Pluto ^-^)

Well, as promised, here are some photos from my journey across Numbakulla and the Pot Healers adventure. I am not going to tell you how to solve the mystery, nor will I tell you much about the story, all I will tell you is that it is a beautiful sim, and it is well worth the visit.

Yes he does, on a plot in SL.In rememberance of the Kings birthday, I visited GracelandSL estate ( and dad gum it, not a single slurl to be found for the spot today.Gah). Not an exact reproduction of the ever so georgous Graceland Estate, but a very nicely done remodel.

Well I know I said you could find out if I made it off the island today, or yesterday, but that didn't happen. You see the other night, I was leaning back and my chair fell, landing me smack on the back of my skull on the floor. Needless to say, I didn't go exploring, I took an asprin and went to bed.I plan on going back in game and exploring that area this afternoon, but it depends on my

I am still unable to find it unfortuantly even after getting the landmark from my inventory. It is on Serinity island, so searching for that should get you there.

I was exploring the other day and found a very pretty place to relax with that certian someone. C&C Creations has a beatiful island filled with romantic spots to cuddle or more with the love of your sl life. ( They have a store that sells thier wedding supplies or just lovey dovey gifts to give to the avatar you luv ^-^) The island is a large set of mountians with a valley of love in the middle.

Well, I had a busy day and was unable to find a good spot to explore until late in the evening, so I will post that at some point tmmw, but first I must edit the pictures. ^-^ Ekio

For my adventure yesterday, I visited a rl/sl home builders showplace. When I arrived I was pleased to see designs I liked. Not the ones I had expected, but some very interesting and modern homes. Since you can buy the plans in rl, they are made to that scale instead of the massive room and interesting shapes that you find in most SL homes.I did not take any pictures as I was unable to contact

A Friend of mine recently reccomended Svarga as a place to visit, so I took him up on the offer. I was not dissapointed. The island is beautiful on its own and the buildings on it only add to the feel. The whole island revolves around a central tower, but we didn't start there. We started out by hiking up a cobblestone path to an overlook. From there we headed even farther up to the different

Laugh if you will, but Yes, I spent my New Years Eve on SL. As parents of two little boys, we didn't have any plans. So stay home it was.In the spirit of the evening, I doned a cute little New Years shirt set I picked up as a freebie and one of my fav pair of jeans. Along with the shirt and very cute undies, I got a glass of champange, Which of course I donned immediatly. So my partying started

I felt like stepping back in time today and couldn't have found a better place to than Caledon. First off, this place is beautiful. I started out in the 1900s London area. ( search for Victorian in All, and it should pop up fairly high on the list.) The exibit is set up for the holidays and will be gone with the new year but I'm positive the area will be as pretty as ever after the exibit is

So the land price hike this year in SL has been bad. I understand that whole, if the market supports it speech, but, personally I don't believe it. How in the world are new players supposed to be as creative as possible if they cant afford more than first land. And what about First Land! A. its a rare occurrence now, and when it is available, its snatched up in a hurry buy club owners and casinos

Well, one day I got a notion to try out something I had heard about online and so began my second life. I wasn't really sure about the whole process and to tell the truth, I was getting my poor laptop in way over its head. You see, I had been blogging and surfing the net for a good amount of time, and chat just wasn't doing it for me. I wanted something I could see. So when I got my fresh new
