The Heart of the Home

The Heart of the Home

I have been wanting to get these photos done since the day Arcade opened and I'm finally able to show them to you. \o/  There's a mix of items from a few different events  - The Arcade, FaMESHed and The Epiphany.  I've talked before about my love of food items within Second Life and the [...]

Rain Down On Me

Rain Down On Me

It's the big Collabor88 birthday round this month and it's a fabulous theme! Rainforest! The range of home and garden decor available put a huge hole in my credit limit but everyone pulled out all the stops.  Today's scene features items from Loft & Aria, Kalopsia, Soy, Second Spaces and Vespertine which are all available [...]

Cool it Down

Cool it Down

When I did the talk at SL15B about home and garden decor I commented on how delightful it is to see so many bloggers turning their hand to creating and designing for Second Life. Dahlia by June Fallon, Granola by Kimbra Iridescent and this brand, crate by Anabelle Marquis. I have the pleasure of working [...]

Summer Games and Volleyball Playing Flamingo

I know they say things change fast in Second Life...but boy oh boy is that true. My thoughts on a particular situation have changed and developed every day. I've gone to bed every night convinced I now have all the information I need to make decisions, move forward, embrace changes and then the next day [...]

It’s not just a place…it’s home

It’s not just a place…it’s home

I think it's possible I've rezzed, partially decorated and de rezzed upwards of 20 different houses in the last few months. That is about to change. The main issue was that I was using houses on a platform on my sim TaKe Heart which meant I had to be frugal with prims and I'm not [...]

Secret Garden

Secret Garden

Yesterday was the first real Spring day in the UK where there was heat in the breeze as well as the sun in the sky. I saw my first bumble bee buzzing around too so it must have been warm! There's something about the sun and warmth of Spring that lifts the spirit and makes [...]

Paint Your Nature

Paint Your Nature

I've had this picture in my mind for a well over a week now and was desperate for the time to 'paint' it. I was mulling over the scene in my mind when I came across this quote about art by Henry Ward Beecher: Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints [...]

To Blog or Not to Blog…That is the Question

To Blog or Not to Blog…That is the Question

During the SL13B SL Blogger Support Meet the Community session an interesting topic of conversation came up about whether the 'traditional' SL blog has had it's day and whether Flickr is now the only way to blog. I'm going to address this a little today from my point of view as a blogger. I will [...]

This IS how I woke up…but it’s not how I look now!

This IS how I woke up…but it’s not how I look now!

I live in the UK which means we don't get to see The Walking Dead 'officially' until Monday night. That usually means avoiding the hell out of facebook for most of the day on Monday until I get a chance to catch up. I'm pretty much up to date on all my TV shows at [...]
