Mini Modern 4 Lot
This is an upcoming lot preview. I am uploading it on TSR this weekend in between the packing and moving. Let me know what you think :)
Whoa! I've been busy!
I got a creative spurt tonight, and MAN! ...BodyShop and I have made a load of stuff! Here's a rather lengthy list of the stuff I've pulled out of my back pocket, that may just end up on my MiniSite in the short future!Texture Challenge 58 - Maxis Mesh (room)
Texture Challenge 34 - Maxis Mesh (room)
Elder Unders - (base game/elder male) Set of 6 items that can be worn as undies, pjs, and swimsuits.
Summer Shorts - (bon voyage/adult male) Set of 4 items that can be worn as swimwear and pjs.
Shoe Match - (base game/child male) A set of 4 base game Maxis clothings with matching shoes. I always hated the blue and green shoes that EVERY child had to wear. So, I fixed 'em right up for me, and maybe you.
Beach Boy - (base game/teen male) A set of 5 items that can be worn as swimwear or pjs.
Like Mother, Like Daughter - (H&M/Adult Female & Teen Female) An outfit for both mother and teen females.
Undeneyeable Eye Shadow - A set of 5 beautiful eye shadows, I'm very proud of them. :D
Mad Lips - A set of three lipsticks without the shine.
...so far, that's it. I've not worked on the Andretti's since last night. I felt like creating for once.
Aug/Sept Updates!
I'm slowly trying to get back into the swing of things. I really don't have much motivation for creating anymore but every so often I'll work on a little something. So here a few things that I had finished up for you guys. First, the techie outfit for teens included in Free Time. It's one of my favorite Maxis outfits so I couldn't help recoloring it.
Then aikea_quinea converted the maxis mesh for adults so I had to recolor that one too.
And last, but never least, I started working on some jewelry sets right after my niece passed away in June. They are from Lianaa's full jewelry mesh. They include earrings, necklace, bracelet, and ring. I made each set for base game and Bon Voyage.
*These are dedicated to my mom, who was called Mary by everyone but her real name was Ethel, she passed away a little over two weeks ago on Aug 6; my niece Hannah, who passed away a little over two months ago on Jun 21; and to my other beautiful nieces. I plan on doing ten total sets to represent all of them, so keep a look out for the rest.*
Cutout Panels
I saw a picture in some magazine showing a room with cutout panels, I thought that looked really great. So I made my own set of cutout panels in different colors, with a darker shade on a lighter one. I was thinking about also making a set using Maxis panels, but I'm not sure they would turn out nice. Have to put my thinking cap on and see if I can come up with something...I'm just taking a break from runaway designs. There's some I did a while ago but haven't uploaded. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of set they should be a part of.
My New Cushy Cave!
Well, I had a few people who wanted me to get an FA chat thread up on the forum, so I was happy to oblige! :DYou can now find my Cushy Cave here:
Illiana's Cushy Cave
I also have several projects currently in the works...so keep your eyes peeled here for updates. Of course now that I have that nice new cave, I have a place to show exclusive pictures of my upcoming lots...lots of pictures. Hehehe! So, you might want to visit there as well!
Thank you to everyone who congratulated me on the Announcement page, in my guestbook, in my cave, and even privately. You guys and gals here on TSR are the absolute BEST! I sure hope you like my next projects, and that they make your sims happy!

More pictures of Native American Clothes
I've had several request for a 'complete' Native American set. I am currently working on a set for the whole family from elder to toddler and both sexes. They are authentic and because of the amount of detail it is taking me longer to produce them. I will post some pictures when I have enough completed to show. I'm thrilled to make more because this is also part of my heritage. Edit: Here is one picture of a Native American Teen Princess. I'm still working on the rest of them. There won't be any duplicates, each will be unique. The set should be uploaded this week. I hope that you will like them. :)
Edit:
Here is the male teen Prince. More to come. :)
Edit:
My elder female outfit. I'm still working on the rest of them. After I finish the Elder Chief's ensemble I'm considering submitting these four. When the other six are completed I could submit the rest of the set.
Back again
Well, as you can see, I'm back from my vacation. Just wanted to let you all know. If you have noticed the calander, I was busy this week. Some add-ons for several kitchens and on request.... a cookerhood. It fits almost every uppercabinet I made, except the romantic one. If there is a need for a cookerhood for this kitchenset, please let me know. I used the cookerhood that came with Kitchen and Bath, remodeled it and added the recolors, so you won't need any expansionpack. Works like a fire-alarm, even with the blinking red dot. Hope you have fun with it!!
New Period Wear
Historical clothing has long been my mainstay, from my early (and very basic) creations right up to the present. At the moment, I am working on more early Twentieth Century clothes, 1920s and Edwardian. I hope to release a fair few outfits for both genders, but it depends upon what good quality photos I can find online (as hand-drawing never gets very good results for me). If anyone knows of a particular outfit they would like me to make, and has access to good front and back photos of it, please feel free to request it. :)One set submitted, another to come...
I have finally submitted the Modern Building Set. It will be released this Saturday, August 23. When it is released, I will post a blog on building tips with this set. :)I am almost ready to submit my next set. If you noticed the set featured in the header on my page, consider this a sneak peak at the next set :) It is the Basic Living Living Room Set, and I just have to finish renaming the pictures and files and put them into a zip file so that I can submit it!
And, I haven't forgotten the stories. I am working on them, slowly bu surely, but they will be up very, very, very soon!
That's it for now!
Happy simming!
