Ocean Vibes

I saw a group notice come through that there were some apartments for rent on the beach.  I headed over and there was a few left.  I wanted to decorate it in a beachy vibe and found this great new chaise at Cosmo by Chez Moi. @ Cosmo: CHEZ MOI - Bruma Chaise (PG) LI:6* CHEZ MOI - Bruma Tray LI:2* In SL…

Winter Animals

I woke up this morning to icy trees in my fenced back yard.  Before we moved I may have seen more than a squirl in my back yard.  I kind of miss seeing the deer.  That is not a problem in Second Life as these little critters were right in my back yard curtesy Ripplin Waters.  They can be found at T…

The Sitting Room

My Amatchi (Grandma) had a sitting room that we used to get to look at.  It had one of those black vinyl couches and all her fancy treasures.  She would set up the Christmas tree in there every year with the nativity set under neath.  She also really loved her poinsettia plants.  This sitting room…

Fall Forest

Fall seems to be quickly fading as winter is taking over.  The mornings are cold and icy.  The trees have changed from beautiful fall colors to frost bitten brown overnight.  At least in SL we can enjoy fall just a little longer. CHEZ MOI Pampa Patio Set* Pampas Chair (PG) High LOD LI:5 & Pampas …

A Touch of Magic

I lean towards more whimsical Halloween decor than scary.  I love how this photo turned out.  My photos always start with a staple item like the couch and the book case.  From there it expanded and took on a life of its own.  I started to dig in my fall folder and this is what I came up with.   Drea…

Fall is here

I can already see traces of fall appearing in glimpses of the tree leaves.  The mornings are cooler and the days not as hot.  Am I ready for fall.  I think so although I have yet to track down a pumpkin latte.  Fall got rather busy for us since I put both the kids in soccer.  Of course the days ar…

And the beat goes on

Today is my birthday.   A lot has happened in the last few months.  We moved states and went from remote living to living in a small town.  We went from the sound of overpowering waterfalls, crickets and coyotes at night to the sound of a steady freeway.  Somehow life has become easier.  Access to…
