Happy New Year

The new year is a great time to clear your thoughts and make the decision to do one thing every day that makes you happy. 

Be it taking a walk alone, grabbing that first morning coffee before anyone else wakes up, logging into sl for that hour to escape or even just smiling to yourself some time in the day at a memory or song. Whatever does it. 

  

Maybe it's easier to think about or do one thing each day, no matter how big or small, so that we gradually get there on our journey instead of giving because the big picture all seems to much. 

Every day is a new beginning. If you didn't get to it yesterday, today is your chance to try and keep moving forward, not get stuck in that rut, making something more than a dream.

Here's to 2016. Let's do something everyday to make us happy. 

Waterside Market

Wayward Halloween closes today but I wanted to share one last amazing item you can find there. 

The waterside market from  unKindness is so well done and would look great in a rp sims or anywhere with an industrial, grunge, urban, vintage theme or just a little stall in a residential setting.

Get down there for your last minute gacha playing before it closes today!

Corina's Baby Shower

Last week my family held a baby shower for my SL mama Corina. 

We played games, had dinner and had fun hanging out

It was such a gorgeous set up that I want to share some pics with you 

Wayward Halloween Party

A little time in the Garden

The Wayward Carnival has some excellent items for outdoor decorating. The bunnies from {anc} look cute anywhere and the chair swing from [ zerkalo ] comes in a variety of colours and would look great both indoors and outdoors. I couldn't resist popping over to my grandparents garden and taking a few pics with some of the great finds from the Carnival.

Cooking up a Storm

It was time to cook up a storm today. I was hungry and I wanted cake. So out came the cookbooks, utensils and yummy flavours and voila, cake!
I'm very good at making a mess and it's even easier when you have a small kitchen. 
This cute little kitchen from Dust Bunny can fit easily into any space big or small but is great for those tiny kitchen spaces some houses have.

A little bit Cheeky

I'm kind of obsessed with some of the new Cheeky Pea releases.

The :CP: Lanai Set is gorgeous little set to have in your home or garden for a little afternoon relaxing or morning coffee. It's rattan and worn wood texture make a great look for SL Spring and Summer

:CP: Val's Fort Spring Fort is a cute little build that looks great in the garden or as a play area in a kid's room. I had great fun playing with the fort when I set it up in both areas.

Magic in the air

Sometimes magic or the potential for magic to happen is all we need

For the Boys

There are some really cute industrial/masculine looks around at the moment. I think this look has come a long way and makes it much easier for men of sl to decorate their homes in style. 

.Clementine just released a cute group gift that looks great in most houses, a loft or even in the garage.

Dog Days are Over

Well it feels like the Dog Days are Over. 
I've been working hard to get my new cafe "Bean Me Up" ready and open for business. 
Located in the rp community of Honeybriar it's a cozy little nook for anyone to come in and rp a meal, catch up with friends, or hold that book club meeting.

As you saw in my last post I was busy setting  up my office so I had somewhere to do my ordering and run the behind the scenes of the cafe. 

I've also been busy making curtains and sorting recipes to bake.

It's been a busy day

It's been a busy day.  I set up my new office and then promptly messed it right up. 

It's been a busy day.  One of those days, weeks, months, where you just can't even bother to pick up the paper off the floor even though the bin is right beside you. 

It's one of those days where it's best to just leave the mess behind and climb into bed and curl up with a book or veg out on the lounge chair watching tv.
It'll all be there tomorrow ... more work!

Out and About

I've been out and about exploring in sl a lot recently and I've been busy posting pics to flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/130108617@N02/) but have neglected to post them here.
Some of the sims I've been visiting are truly amazing. The sim designers put so much time and effort into making their sims so enjoyable for everyone to visit. SL never ceases to amaze me with all the beauty and different places it has to offer
