Glam Time

It's time to put on the heavy make-up and the glamorous gown! These are some of the free gifts from SL23rd Birthday at the Shop&Hop. This couple of months have been extra busy in RL and I couldn't find the time to do more freebie hunting. I do want to express my gratefulness and thanks to all the creators who have given us exceptional gifts and store credits.

Belle Epoque Imelda

Pixicat Selena Dress

BMe Midnight Bloom Gown

Make-up is from Warpaint, hair from Truth, jewelry from Kibitz, poses from Stun

I also didn't have the time to check out all the resident exhibits, but there is one exhibit I really like. It's called  A love letter to the Golden Age by Faith.

Snowed in Pink

 

Riot has a new group gift out - the woolen hat and mitten with multi-coloured hud.

The hat doesn't come with hair, but during the recent Black Friday sale, I purchased the Spirit hair from Stealthic which had an equestrian hat and I figured the hair would fit with this hat too. I now believe that it would also fit with other hats. Hmmm...

The pink top is from last week's Weekend sale at Neve. It also comes with multi-coloured and pattern hud. I didn't get the skirt because I hardly ever wear one nowadays. Always on the horse you know.

The jeans is from The Kiwi and it also comes with a multi-coloured hud. I think you see the pattern now... I am making my SL life simpler :)

The heart necklace and earrings are from Cae, from long ago.

This picture was taken at the Calas Midwinter sim, about an hour before show began and I used that opportunity to take an ultra graphic shot before the sim filled up and lag started. I love the way the flexi skirt moved but it was horrible in a sitting pose. Well, it looked great when dancing!

The hair is Unruly from Doux. The earrings, choker and bracelet are from Kibitz.

The gown is from GGVG Fashion and I bought it last winter with their store credit giveaway. This year, they gave us an outfit. Even without the store credit, the price is reasonable. I still remember when gowns used to cost over 1K linden coz I accidentally clicked on one a long, long time ago when a store was having a hunt... Imagine that!! Ugh!! To place a freebie real close to a buy smh

Last, I have not 1 but 2 AI rendered paintings!!

AI is definitely making my avatar look gorgeous. I think after all the thumbs down I gave, the programming finally computed what I wanted.

This is a freebie post

 

I am very happy with this latest group gift from Coco. Thank you so much! I love the soft green colour and the leaf pattern. It goes very well with ginger Moon.

Here is your TP to COCO.

Above is a Monet-inspired painting by Chatgpt.

Lilly and Scarlett

 I cannot get over the fact that LelutkaEVO Lilly2.5 is cute and then I got theSkinnery Scarlett groupgift skin and it was bam! Utterly adorable with those baby cheeks and round eyes! theSkinnery group is FREE at the moment, so go grab it. Unfortunately, this gift only comes for the head and not the body. Fortunately for me, I had an older skin which matches. 

If you want this Mandy Shape, I have put it up as a copy and mod FREEBIE on the Marketplace for a limited time.

So I took Moon for a few rounds of skating at the Calas Galadhon Christmas Pavillion.

Aldo's Cabin

I have just put the freebie Aldo's Cabin up on Marketplace.

I did this cabin in December 2016 but never put it up on Marketplace.

You could only get it at my store, but I found out today that it had been copybotted and put up on sale for 49L at the Marketplace so that bothered me a lot. The copybotter didn't even bother changing the picture ad! I just hope nobody bought it when they could have gotten it for free:(

The cabin is 9 prims. It is 12x12 and it is transfer only.

Season of Giving

This year's freebie is a log cabin and a stable.

As with past years, I have tried to make low prim little builds for this season of giving. This year, however, real life has changed a lot for me and I don't have as much time to spent in SL. So this year, while I was building Teddy's Log Cabin and Stable, I have decided not to try building any low prim freebie houses.

Instead, Teddy's Log Cabin and Stable is this year's freebie but only till the end of the year 2017. It is TRANSFER ONLY. Once the year is over, I will be reverting Teddy's Log Cabin and Stable to copy and modifiable plus I will be adding the landscaping the way I have already imagined in my mind and selling it. Well, that is my plan, but as with all plans, things might change.

Teddy's Log Cabin is a cute little cabin with a loft and dormer while Teddy's Stable can fit a couple of horse and a foal. I made the stable to specifically fit the ABC horses coz they are really BIG horses.

Teddy's Log Cabin is 41LI, 9x10
Teddy's Stable is 17LI, 8x9

Please get them at my in-world store. They are set at 0L with the other freebies on the wall. I won't be putting them in the Marketplace.

These are some of my pretty Gypsy Vanners Silver Tobiano Snowflakes. I wanted them to pull a sled in the snow, but I just don't have time to make that happen:( So all they can do are hang around in the snow with Moon infront of the freebie cabin and stable.

I hope you enjoy the Cabin and Stable! Have a wonderful HOLIDAY and may next year be even better than this year!!!!

Bunny Time

Biobreed has released their beta version bunny and it's free.

There are 5 females and 5 males in the beta folder. I'm letting only 3 out because I need the space. 1 male and 2 females.

You can also hold them. Just take them back into inventory and add. You'll probably need to edit a bit like I've done.

Before birthing, the sleeping bunnies come in cute baskets. Pink blankets for girls and blue blankets for boys. Once the beta is over the bunnies will disappear. At the moment you don't have to pay to feed them so now is the time to have fun with these adorable little hoppers and not worry about your linden budget. Just worry if you have enough prims! Each bunny is 12 prims.

You can get your bunnies at the Biobreed Mainstore here. You'll also need to wear the group tag to get the bunnies. Group is free.

Jackie Maine

Today is all about Jackie Maine.

I am so enamored of Jackie Maine, my bento riding Water Horse. She has a closet full of 'dresses' and Jinx has given a free flower 'dress' for the bento riding horse at the Water Horse Creator Fair. This 'dress' is actually from a HUD and if you've bought her other Fantasy Horse Markings, you'll be able to use this free HUD. For a clearer picture of this free Flower Power HUD, check out her flickr.

These pictures were taken at the Calas Galadhon sims. There is even a rideable demo of the bento riding horse and you can try it here.

Water Horse is also celebrating their Riding Horse with a kick-off party and I was there for a while with a whole lot of other horse lovers. I didn't stay long because I also wanted to see the ABC horse racing which was going on at the same time. I didn't know there were horse racings in SL eventhough I've been in SL a long time.

The horses and jockeys flew past me.

There were 2 races. This one was a steeplechase. I had to google. Wiki defines steeplechase as a distance horse race in which competitors are required to jump diverse fence and ditch obstacles. Ok I copy pasted that. All this while I thought it meant the horse was chasing something O.O

Wish You were Here

There were 2 reasons I braved the lag to go to this month's Gacha Garden. One was the Wish You Were Here pose set from Nantra and the other was the French Bulldog Fun in the Sun Frenchies by Jian. I wanted a companion dog which I could walk around with and I won her on the second try. The little Pug beside Moon is another companion dog by Jian I found at a flea market a while back.

Moon is also wearing the latest free group gift from COCO and the recent FLF heart necklace from Maxi Gossamer. I am a sucker for heart pendants.

Did I mention that my desktop died a month ago and I've been on a laptop since then? Which is why I haven't been building. I had ordered a new desktop but I messed up on the graphic card. My son usually does these tech things for me but since he migrated leaving us girls, I've had to figure these things with my also clueless daughters. I actually succeeded in dismantling the out of date graphic card but when I tried to install another graphic card, I found out that it was too big.... So, now I have to go find a graphic card. I might just lug the darn desktop to the shop and just ask them to fit an updated version.

Anyway, not building means I get more time to just explore SL and do shopping and spent more time with my virtual animals.

I got girls for my second round of foals. Above is a Black Percheron. She's already 6 days old

My Gypsy Vanner gave me a Piebald Gypsy Vanner filly.

My Timor Bay Pony gave birth to an Australian Pony lass. She's the chestnut coloured Pony.

And my Percheron gave birth to an Australian Stock Horse! She's another chestnut.

It's no burden when you love them

There is less than a week left to Hair Fair 2017.

Here is Moon with Jackie Maine my bento Water Horse with pretty ribbons and flowers in her mane which I bought from Jinx. Moon is wearing hair from Yse called Favor which I bought at the Hair Fair. I've been looking for hair that can be tucked behind the ears. There is also a hud with 4 slightly different variations.

The necklace and earrings Moon is wearing is a group gift freebie from Heartsdale Jewellery[HJ] which I happened upon when I wandered into SWANK. Today Moon is wearing a different eyeliner and lipstick from the Deetalez Monica makeup HUD for a close-up picture.

My Zebras finally had their baby! It felt like forever waiting for my mare to pop her foal. Unlike my other breedables, the foal comes out live and for the first 3 days, her mother nurses her. I haven't seen any nursing animations and I'm not sure if there are. I'll have to find out.

Moon standing proud next to the mama pony. Since the Zebra markings is only a costume it can't be passed down to their offsprings. They are actually starter ponies and their baby is a Timor Bay mare.

And Baby makes 6.

My KittyCats sleeping on the deck. I haven't forgotten them.

Kristopher and Sadie are awaiting their last baby.

Riding off into the sunset and met the sea....

On a day like today

Hair Fair 2017 is going on right now.

And this hair I bought from Exile at the Hair Fair which Moon is wearing seems to be all over the blogs and flickr pages. I can't blame them. I love, love, love the hairstyle too! That's Jack my grown-up Bulldog with Moon.

The top Moon is wearing is a freebie groupgift from COCO. The jeans are from Just Because which I bought from the Marketplace. It is so difficult to find a pair of straight leg non-booootilicious slightly flared pants nowadays. Moon is also wearing sandals from KOKOIA.

After the Art Museum, it was time to go riding with Jackie. Jackie is my Water Horse and she's a Bento wearable so that means you can take her anywhere and she moves and fidgets like a real horse too. She's now a white horse with blue markings that I got from Jinx at the Fantasy Collective. It's so exciting that I can also dress up my horse!

Last, here are my pink BioBreeds Boxers. I had no idea they would grow this huge! My KittyCat Ramses the Mummy wanted to be in the photo too. KittyCats just love taking pictures. Everyday they would come up to Moon and ask to have photoshoots together:)

My Kitty's Tree House

While in the process of building a tree house, I took a break to built this tree house for my precious virtual kittens to set home to.

And it's also a freebie. You can get it at my in-world stores in Farshore, Besma or Too Adorable.

Here's Luelle in Farshore.

Here's Chianna in Besma.

This is my KittyCats store in Too Adorable.

This is how the stretched out version of the Tree House looks like on my pets' parcel.

The Kitty's Tree House is built with old prim sculpt except for the platforms which are old prims. It is modifiable and you can stretch it to ginormous size and the tree house will still be 8 prims. As a big tree house, you can also share it with your kittens as I have done:)

I have also made it phantom because I didn't want my kittens or my other virtual pets to keep on banging against the tree. Basically, you set your kittens home on the platforms and when they wake up, they will jump down onto the ground.

Since it is modifiable, you can also untick the phantom while in edit mode. You can mod the tree any way you like:)

Have fun!

Aldo's Cabin Freebie

Every end of the year I try to build a low prim house as a gift and this year I've made Aldo's Cabin, a single room A-Frame Cabin.

Aldo's Cabin, named after my Le Tigre Bengal Menagerie KittyCat is only 9 land impact with a 12 by 12 base.

Above is a picture of the cabin all decked up in winter season with snowman and snow. The cabin is actually unfurnished with no snow add-ons. Once winter is over, this cabin would be perfect next to a beach and anywhere you want.

It is big enough for 1 person as you can see in the picture above.

Aldo's Cabin is TRANSFER ONLY. It's not on the marketplace but you can get it at my in-world store.
