Dream T Flyer

I am spending more and more time around Raglan. And as I mentioned they are about to have a month of Pirate fun. Part of it will be a treasure hunt and Rizzo was looking for treasure to put in the hidden chests. Not sure if what I am coming up with is treasure, but I have been building :) Ages and ages and ages ago, I went to a building class in raglan. The only one I ever did there and it was how to make a skidoo. So making the Dream T was just really about decorating that build from long ago. Trick was...only 32 prims allowed before it refused to fly. Naturally I found that out after I had added a lot more than 32 prims to the three prim-scooter I started with.

*rolls eyes and sighs*
hah!

But of course I loved building it!
And had a little help by way of a tiger skin steering wheel! Thanks taz, how would I manage without you?

Flies like a little beaut too though it wont go very high.


No nosebleeds for the kitty.

Doings...

yarrrrrrr
Raglan is gearing up for some pirating times!

I have been making pirate wench costumes and needed some pirating names. Audrey Fotherington becomes "Black Lizzie" so that is one of the sets name now:)

Besides the usual dress obsessing, i have been doing a bit of real estate wrangling. Mr Alastair brought it to my attention that Miss Garnet Psaltery might be interested in some land in Southend.
It has been worrying me for a while that my land hunger was starting to add up to a reasonable sized bill, and the house sales I was having a while back have dropped off once more.
So it seemed like a good idea to let Miss Psaltery have a little slice of Southend.

Things happen so swiftly.

In no time at all, the railway station was packed up, gone for the foreseeable future. A shame in a way, but that is the mercurial quality of content in SL.
And this time the dismantling of one of my homes was not nearly as distressing as the last, when I had to leave Winterfell. It was very nice to be part of a happy story!
Welcome Miss Garnet!

Competioning again

Ahhh it has been a long time since I had a weekend off work. But I am on holidays! So I have been able to go to both the Building Blitz and the Oldies Show and Tell at NCI Caledon.

On Sunday I got to Building Blitz.. the theme was Blizzard. Not really something an urban ozzie has a lot of experience with...so I pulled the word apart, put it together again... There were some lovely builds there.. I loved what won, which was a snow dome. And I came third! Nice! I guess because it was a bit silly rather than a wonderful build.

What do you get when Ms Lizard and Mr Bee get together and have babies?

Then today I happened to catch show and tell. I have sort of lost track of when things are on as I haven't had a chance to get to any of my old usuals... so it was a bit of a fluke. I wasn't sure if the lag in Caledon's Oxbridge was going to let me get dressed into the steampunk out fit or not, so I just stayed in my new Daisy gear. Complete with 96 prim shoes!
I told as much as I showed... no surprise there I guess! I told them how I am enjoying building clothes as I don't have to worry about the prim count.
If I am working some where and the available prims are low, depending on what i am doing, I chose to wear the prims rather than build them on the ground and then wear them after it is all said and done. The shoes I did a little both ways. It is a real nuisance to make a pair of shoes that fit perfectly when not worn, then not quite being able to find exactly the right rotation etc to get them to fit once they are worn. That bothers me a lot.
But as well, when I build a house, I can't always put it out on show as I would have to pull down one of the others. Dress building I get to wear the newest creation and naturally when it is time for something new, I am happy to take off the old :) Tiny Auds, who originally was the poor sister to big Auds in the wardrobe department, is swiftly building a large collection of frocks.

There were some really good builds at show and tell. The ranking though always leaves me a little.. distressed and this time not on my account. I came.....


Third! Again!

Mary Moppet- a pesky wench

Mary Moppet insisted on a hat. I played with hats all afternoon. Finished it. Photographed it. Put it in in-world vendors. Cooked dinner. Returned to hear the wretch say that it wasn't good enough and would I mind replacing cylinders with toruses.

*Sigh*

So I have spent the evening doing something that seems much like something I have already done! Making a hat, photographing it and putting it into vendors !

and listens to

radiohead..

Tonight...

Tonight I was making a dress and hunting for a name ... I sent off a request for naming help and the only voice responding was Alastair's. He suggested that I should go Jane Austin and he has a "thing" for Mary. The almost the most annoying of the Bennet sisters with the exception of Lydia, but to each his own! he added that Mary needs specz.... so that gave me a little extra to do for the evening...

And so for a few hours, a cross eyed cat staring at tiny prims in Tanglewood could be seen :)

Here is Mary Moppet

Kitty Shoes

I was out walking through Southend Caledon. The world was full of tweeting birds, I could see Alastair working in his shop making some kind of primmy madness and I happened to wander along to my Bourneville building and what should I see but......
actually... this is nothing about me walking. This is about me wearing .. new shoes!!!
