Hey everybody.. happy Sunday! Its snowing here again ( ugh- it has been for 2 days now. Everything had previously melted but now we have got it ALL back!) And so since its snowing I dont want to go outside! LOL And though I should be technically cleaning my house i am sitting on my rear end on my pc. On this mornings agenda- Creating clothing! So I made my first attempt using a terrific tutorial by Rockin Robin. I have a 30 day trial of Adobe photoshop CS4 ( and also last night I got myself a 30 day trial of Corel Paintshop PRO) so i was using Adobe photoshop to walk thru the tutorial step by step. I picked out a pair of ripped jeans and a tiger striped hoodie to make. WOW! its hard.. and though I was doing it .. I had to stop for now as I gave my self a headache LOL. So the clothing isnt finished yet but i will try agai later today - maybe this time I will use paint shop pro instead as Adobe Photoshop is incredibly hard to navigate- and since i have no previous knowledge of this software i think its making the task even more difficult. But i must say Rockin Robin does a great job of explaining with visual examples. I recommend that tutorial.. my problem is with patience! Clothing is way more work than objects , walls , lots etc!

The bottom line: you all WILL see a piece of clothing from me. Now that i have attempted it - i will try again. I think I will just start off making the hoodie NOT the whole outfit..I wont despise small beginnings :)

Last night I was up past midnight uploading some furniture stuff and extras I recently made. SimPE is a breeze now for recoloring. The very fact that I no longer am having problems recoloring Custom meshes tells me that I WILL figure out how to make clothing! 

So on the horizon this week will be some rugs, doormats, new Arizona sofa recolors, Bijoux wicker furniture by holy Simoly and some walls. Oh I also recolored a double front door by macarossi - there is no white recolor of this door ( that i know of anyways) but there is now! :) I wanted to use the door in one of my new lots.

As well i found some great new plants over at Parsimminous for free as i was getting bored with the ones I have now for landscaping my lots. Aslo got some new doors and windows too. I need variety when I am building!

Well thats all for now.. I presently have a massive headache LOL from trying to make clothes- i need to go take some advil and tylenol. Seriously!
