Crop Circle Necklaces
I know, the name is bizarre but these new necklaces are very stylish and work with everyday or formal wear. In fact, I think they're perfect with the Hawaiian outfits that came with FFS for the perfect beach bum look. ;P Each pendant is a combination of silver and gold and again hang on a black leather thong.
And because I started to feel like the ladies were being left out, I made a matching set for them. This collection includes more flowery designs but equally flexible and stylish.
These should come out around Friday, June 16'06 and I promise, I'll move on to something else for a while and give the accessories a rest for a little variety again. :D
Whew! Mens Facial Hair: FIN!!
Hey everyone. I'm finally finished working on that facial hair. It took me forever, I know. I think I am finally happy enough with it to release it. Heres a preview:
Antique Gold Part III
I have just finished Part III of my Vintage Victorian Antique Gold set, and I hope to publish the set, by the end of this week. I have also completed a mini set, The Victorian Gentlemen, for this weeks TSR Theme. Stay tuned...What's next?
One of my very favorite things are Solfal's christmas curtain meshes! They fit in virtually any room and in my opinion, are perfect. One thing that was missing in my own game, were recolors so, that is what my next project will be. So far, I only have four but who knows how many I'll end up with. Anyway, below are the four I have at this moment. If you have any suggestions, let me know! :)
Necklace Craze
So I finished my Nordic necklaces for men last night and was on such an accessory rush that I went poking around online for more inspiration. That, coupled with the shocking discovery that there are no additional guy necklaces beyond those Dr. Pixel made himself when he published his male necklace mesh, made me realize guys are in desperate need of more necklaces.Long story short, I found some really cool dogtag necklaces that I decided to make my own versions of - I'm calling them 'dogtag motto' necklaces and there are again 3 in total, including the mottos LOVE, SEXY and DARE. So far they have already proven to be super fun to use. :)
BTW: They are also super shiny in-game - very eye-catching. I expect they will go live around this Wednesday or Thursday, June 14/15'06.
Links and Lots
If you build lots to share with others at TSR AND you use custom content, you might already know that there are certain items of custom content that won't install properly with the lot unless the downloader already owns the meshes.The TSR lot submission form already has a handy 'required items' feature where you can link to TSR meshes that your lot might need, but how do you know what requires a link in the first place?
I've written a post in our forums to explain! You can find it here.
Cocktail Hour Mesh
I've discovered (thanks Ihsuhsocenok!) that PeggySims2 have recently upgraded their site and moved things around so the link in my installation instructions to the mesh required for the Cocktail Hour Dresses no longer works. The new URL for the mesh (Peggybodymesh0002) is: http://freearea.peggysims2.net/mesh.do?direction=nodirection&pagesize=2 It's the bottom mesh with 0002 above it.New OFB Sets

|
Just like most of the women, I like shopping! Especially love to shop baby stuffs for my son recently. There is a lovely car like loveseat placed in one of my favorite children wears shop, it's the most popular facility in there! To me, it's the best design in the world, because I could just let my son play with it then I can shop freely!
I made it into a loveseat mesh and some OFB shelves too(shelves are my own design). I will upload these new OFB sets as soon as I finish the preview pictures. Hope you and your Sims will love it as I do!
Simply for Men Theme Week
I always intend to submit theme-related creations during the FA theme weeks and it always seems that whatever I'm currently working on holds me up. So today I decided to change gears.I've had these Viking themed pendents for a while now, intending to make them into male necklaces for my Swedish (and very Viking) hubby. They look fabulous in-game - very detailed, although sometimes the game's lighting is a little harsh so it's difficult to get smooth photos without a lot of glare.
I expect this set will go live and be available for download sometime around Wednesday, June 14'06.
Lemons
Hi everyone! I have just uploaded some more stuff, including three lemon yellow outfits for Granny, (the answer to my cryptic clue)! Hope you like them. Will let you know what my next project is shortly!Happy Simming/Downloading/Creating
Mode bambina
On dirait que j'ai un peu laiss� le pr�t � porter des tous petits de c�t�, et pour me rattraper, je m'oriente vers la mode petite fille !(oui, les petits gar�ons devront attendre ! h� h� !)...Je vois d�j� de jolies robes d'�t�, sans mesh requise, faciles � porter, l�g�res et color�es, pour des petites puces � croquer !
J'esp�re que vous aimerez !
Grizzelda Has Left The Building
I've given up all creating for now. Sorry to everyone that has been waiting for more meshes. I just can't seem to muster any enthusiasm or energy for much of anything. Thanks for all the support. AND FYI: Use the meshes for all good and fun and just give credit where credit is due. Thanks.SIMply For Guys: Clan Kilts
My final contribution to the SIMply For Guys theme week next week is a set of kilts from my home country, Scotland. They are made in clan tartans (except for Black Watch which is a regiment not a clan but has a very famous tartan so I wanted to include a Black Watch kilt) and based on the Maxis Sims 1 and Sims 2 kilt textures and the Sims 2 kilt mesh.In Scotland, Highland dress is mostly worn at formal occasions like weddings. The formal outfit would usually include a fancy shirt and bow tie but the Maxis mesh wouldn't allow me to do this and I had to go with an open necked shirt instead. Also the outer jacket would usually have long sleeves but the mesh has flared sleeves so I had to make the jacket's sleeves short over a long sleeved shirt. Apart from that, the outfit is pretty authentic with sporran, sgian dubh (literally, black knife - a dagger kept in the sock), kilt hose, matching flashes (sock garters), leather brogues (shoes), belt buckle with thistle motif and lucky heather bottonhole. I have made kilts in the following tartans, for no other reason than that I like the colours: Alexander, Black Watch, Crawford, MacBeth, MacDuff, MacFarlane and Wallace.
More Content
Well as you've noticed I've uploaded alot of new things, and more to come. My husband has recently been diagnosed with cancer, and it's called Myxoid Liposarcoma. It's the cancer of the fatty tissues, and it's on the back of his right leg. He's being admitted into the hospital for 5 days, every 21 days.I've been staying up late at night, because my kids don't like to sleep. So expect more as he continues through this.
This has been keeping me sane for the most part.
Thanks for downloading and enjoy it all,
BB!
New Toad Cove Lodge Bedroom is on the way!
I've been working on the next installment of the Toad Cove Lodge, and this time, it will be the bedroom. I'll attempt to upload a screenshot for a bit of a preview. It's still a work in progress, so it may look much different once finished.The bed is based upon Dgandy's Stained Art Bed.
Three Football Stadia - eeek!
It has taken so long to check and test the football grounds that I've decided to submit three versions!The first is the unfurnished Community version - called Honeyfield Stadium.
Then I've been playing a residential version, with garage, pool etc and room for 4 bedrooms. This will come UNfurnished, and is called King's Park Stadium.
At the end of the SIMply For Guys week I'll post a furnished Community version, slightly different from Honeyfield and ready for everyone who prefers to have Community Lots ready for use. This is called Riverside Stadium.
All three are big and detailed lots - so please don't beat me up if they run slow on a lo-end computer!!!!! ;)
SIMply For Guys
Hey everyone,Be sure to check the calendar this coming week for the new Theme Week "SIMply for Guys". Lot's of great stuff coming out. I'll have six clothing sets for the guys, along with a "Bachelor Livingroom" set. All new furniture meshes. I also have set my previous male clothing sets to show for the theme so you can locate them. All the FA's are working hard to make this theme one that gives you a little bit of everything for the guys.
Once again I want to thank everyone that has left comments on my creations. I love to hear from you and it's always great to know that people are enjoying what I do. I've tried to send a responce to as many as I could, but I'm falling behind....so if I have not responded...I want you to know that I read each comment and I appreciate each of you taking the time to let me know what you think.
New paneled walls
These are my new favorites in paneled walls. I hope you like them. I love spending hours getting them just right and I love hearing from all of you how much you appreciate that. Thanks so much. judi

Welcome to my minisite!
I just moved in so I'm still in the process of figuring everything out. Please excuse the mess! Let's see.... the burglar alarms are all placed, the smoke detectors are above the stoves and fireplaces, the car alarm has been installed. Now... if I could only figure out how to change the banner.In the meantime, please make yourself at home!
Delay in new releases
I have been meaning to finish and upload one more Mission match set for children and teens. Unfortunately this has been delayed as I fell ill and had been unabe to work on anything for the past week. I am now back to creating though and should have this set finished in the next couple of days. Then it's on to this months theme.SIMply For Guys
Next week is the June theme week: SIMply For Guys. My first contribution is a couple of sets of jeans and long sleeved shirts for male adults and young adults (I installed University a few days ago - really enjoying it!). The first set comprises pale shirts ideal for summer. The second set comprises inverted versions of the pale shirts and I'm quite pleased with the result - much brighter colours, these shirts are groovy! Info on my next SIMply For Guys offering will follow...Summertime Blues
*Adding pics* My current project is a set of skins I am calling Summertime Blues. They feature denim shorts paired with different colored tank tops. A pair of crisp white tennis shoes completes a basic summertime look. They will be available in a rainbow of colors. If time permits I'll also do a set with a denim skirt in place of the shorts. Pics will be added later.
Antique Gold Part II --Release Date June 11th
Part II of the Vintage Victorian Recol set, " Antique Gold" is scheduled for release on June 11th. Part II includes, the console table, mirror, arm chair, single bedframe, matching canopy, rug, robe, and hatbox.Hi everyone!

Picking a few more holes...
So, how are those castle walls coming along?Well, a couple of new piccies for you. This time, barred windows, arrow slits and a new crenelation design for castle towers (fencing). The stone steps will also be part of the set (though these are already available in my downloads if you want those now).
Work in progress - fake baked goods
I picked this request from the forum, working on a set of decorative baked goods extracted from the game that can be selled at your sim stores in OFB. Special fridge case will also be included, allows you to place decorative items inside without a cheat code and doesn't create restocking problems. All the items will be recolorable, including plates. One object, cheesecake, holds the texture for plates, the rest will be linked to that one. This means one plates recolor will work for all objects in the set. Estimated publish date - June 20th.
Victorian Antique Gold
Vintage Victorian Antique Gold, release date, June 8th...The set is a recolor of my Vintage Victorian Bedroom set, it features soft white gold painted furniture, and pastel blues and gold colors.
New Soccer Stadium
I've been busy working out a large soccer/football stadium in time for the World Cup and the Men week! :lol: I'm British, but I think 'football' still gets misunderstood in the US? ;)It's taking a long time, and I have to spend only a little time at the computer - under instructions - while my back continues to heal.
The stadium will be available in several forms, including a residential version ..... what could be better during the World Cup than living in your own football stadium!!!!!
Theme
Right now I am currently working on creations for this months theme,maybe a few articals of clothing,or a male insprired room.Just for Males, woohoo.Actually I am pleased we are concetrating on the male simmies at least for a week.
I hate those days when with all the best intentions things dont flow right,yesterday was like that,I swear I recolored the same objects at least 10 times before I was happy with it.Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy!It probably would have been ok after the 3rd recolor,but if one iddy bitty bit dont look right in my eyes I am like a dog chewing a bone.
Vintage Antique Gold Bedroom Set
A sneak peek at my new bedroom set recolor, Vintage Victorian, "Antique Gold Bedroom."
Summer Bath Room Set
Recolor of BBS Pure Inspiration Bathroom Set. Black wood with White Marble. Coming Soon!!!
Work in Progress
Hello Everyone, I just started a new recolor set, based on my Vintage Victorian Bedroom set, and hope to release Part I this week. I will also post a few screenies of my upcoming set... Thanks for all the wonderful comments!Great new beds! But not by me...
Yes, for all you Urbanites out there, TSR sees the launch of some fabulous new trashy beds - fabulous because they're made of stacked beer cases and fabulous because I didn't make them (and there's no need for you to look RELIEVED that I didn't make them either!). Anyway, head along to MsBarrows Flat-Broke Bed Set to pick up a copy.And if you're in need of some trashy bedding to match, naturally you already have the Urban Renewal Make-Do Bedding set. If you dare to be here and DON'T have that bedding, you'd best get it (and quickly) before I notice your 'mistake'...

New Colors ...Coming soon!
Here is a preview of the new colors and "textures"* I am working on right now. There are so many nice laces that I want to use, which means lots of walls and in the end that gives you, the user, many color choices! Remember that - "Variety is the spice of life"...for us and for our Simmies!!!*Yes, that is a monochromatic plaid and stripe that you see in the picture.
I hope you will enjoy using these new colors of lace walls (and floors) as much as I have enjoyed creating them!
HAPPY SIMMING! ^__^ May
Teen Swimwear
I have had some requests for some swimwear for teens, and although I dont always have the time to fulfill requests, this one just happened to fit in my schedule. This is a set of three styles, in four different colors each. I hope everyone likes them. Here is a pic of one of the styles...
I also have a set of swimwear on the way for females from child to elder. It is a coordinating set using the same fabrics, in a different style for each age group. I was inspired by the matching clothes from Family Fun Stuff. If everyone likes it, I may consider doing the same thing for guys, or other sets for girls in different clothing categories.
By the way...for those of you wondering, I am still at work on the mens facial hair. Took a break on it for this swimwear, I kinda needed one. Hehe
Summer Night City
My latest project is a sexy summer ensemble comprising strappy boned corset top, flouncy white cotton nomadic skirt and super high heeled sling-back sandals. The mesh is again by Chriko from 2-f0r-u - I adore the teetering high heels. I imagine this outfit being worn on a night out on holiday after a day sunbathing on the beach. I think it would look great with a tan. I couldn't walk on those heels though! The first set is my traditional Black & White duo. There will be at least a couple more sets to follow. I hope you'll like them.Random Acts of Skinning
*Adding rest of pics* My project this week is to work on some random skins. Some of these are inspired by celebrities, while others are inspired by my favorite muse -- Barbie doll. I might even throw in a couple that I dreamed up myself in one of my "wouldn't it look cool to do this" moods. Standard blah-blah-blah about adding preview pics as I complete things applies.
