Zest for SLife

Eversince I upgraded Moon to bento, I feel SL rejuvenated.

Those finger movements are really something. I can't wait for fingers animating on musical instruments!

These are poses by TUTY which I bought at the eBento event.

Second Life is celebrating it's 14th birthday and of course there are hunts and freebies abound!

KittyCats Carnivalesque boy and girl kitties.

Breedable zebras from Awesome Breed Creations and a static pose horse from Elite Equestrian.

I accidentally birthed last year's SL13B Boxers instead of this year's Hush Puppies and so I decided to birth all the other BioBreed pups from previous years. The cats are going to be peeved!

I've been decorating MaryJane's Tree House on my kitties' parcel and the Polka Dots Patio Set from Chez Moi which I bought at the Cosmopolitan Event is just perfect for the deck. Even Marmalade and Amos my kitties think so:)

MaryJane's Whimsical Tree House

I named this tree house MaryJane after my rl cat and my virtual cat:)

I was feeling fanciful when I was inspired to build this tree house.

There is one wooden cabin with huge glass windows on the tree and open decks that lead up to the cabin and down to a small cascading pond. The ground itself is scattered with flowers and morning glory flowers creeping up the tree to the roof of the cabin.

The inside of the cabin has lights sparkling on the ceiling. If you can imagine fireflies resting there:)

There's the small pond with the pastel colored goldfishes swimming inside.

Sunbeams peeking through the leaves.

MaryJane's Whimsical Tree House is 112 land impact and has a 40x40 base. It is copy, mod, no transfer and partial mesh. Some scripts are no mod.

Moon Bento-fied

I finally upgraded Moon.

I've bento-fied her:) I spent the whole day shopping for her upgrades but truthfully, the window shopping started a week ago... all that demo-ing I had to do. And then the time spent tweaking her face! OMG only after the eleventh attempt was I satisfied with her face. I think she looks cute.

All the lindens spent! But I have to admit, I love the new Moon. And to complete the upgrade, she also has a new bento AO. Moon is all Bento-fied.

What upgrade Moon is wearing:
skin: theSkinnery Nora
mesh head: Lelutka Simone
mesh body: Maitreya Lara
AO: Vista Animation Miriam

Belum Tree House Jungle Retreat

I am in my tree house phase at the moment and here is another jungle theme tree house.

This time I made a couple of the tree branches share the same space as the house.

That was quite a challenge to built. Above is a tree branch in the living area.

Above is the deck area.

Behind the house is a river and a couple of waterfalls.

The back view of the hut.

Another branch in the bedroom.

Plants growing under the house.

The Belum Tree House Jungle Retreat is 199 land impact and 40x40.

It comprise of a huge flowering tree with a couple of tree trunks sharing space with the high stilts village hut. The house has 2 rooms, an entrance verandah and a deck. A river runs behind the house with 2 waterfalls.

I've also added 3 toucans and a parakeet and a small duck family.

I have also included a border screen on both sides of the plot.

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!
