Anniversary Waltz

To celebrate my forthcoming First Wedding Anniversary I have created a set of 18th century ballgowns in the style of my own bridal gown. The beautiful afprincessgown mesh was created by Siluetta and is available here at TSR. The gowns come in 14 colours, some with contrast front panels and sleeves, some with lace trim at the neckline, all with rose embroidery on the bodice and lace up corset back. For maximum versatility, I have deliberately not included any jewellery as part of the gown; the neck is bare so that you are free to use and alternate the jewellery of your choice. I would highly recommend Xandher's stunning Collette Choker Collection , which complements the gowns perfectly.



The gowns are available for adults and young adults.

Building my lot in real life:)!

Hi!

Spring is beautiful and also full of outdoor work in the garden! We are going to rebuild our terrace with friends next weekend, so I'll be really busy! It is a large terrace and practically our only "outdoor living room" because we live on a very steep & rocky ridge. There'll be quite a few friends helping, weather should be fine - sunny and relatively warm - and I think we'll have a really good time working together!!

I have set aside my Arles collection, though I should sumbit the home business that is almost ready. After that I feel like returning to white buildings, lot of glass, seaside views... I'd actually love to have a holiday by the sea....

Anyway, thanks to everyone who visits my site!!

Happy simming,
Tiina:)

I am almost to the big number! I can't believe it! THANK YOU ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SUPPORTED ME!

Does Anyone Actually Read This?

Just wondered! If you do, perhaps you would like to comment on what you would like to see next. I have many ideas, and a few creations 'in stock', yet to be uploaded and published, but I would really appreciate your input and ideas For example: Would you like more styles of Walls & Floors from my 'Pastels Collections' or my 'Pale Pastels Collections', or would you prefer a new set of colours? Are there specific types of Wall or Floor you would prefer - wood, carpet, paint, wallpaper, brick? Or would you prefer more decorative items such as Rugs and Paintings? If there is anything else you are particularly looking for, please let me know (nothing involving meshes though - I haven't got that far yet! ). I will eagerly await the thousands of replies this will generate - Ha-Ha! - Forever optimistic!!!! Mad Cow

Neon Obsessed

I find myself having a strange attraction to Neon at the moment! LOL I'm not really sure why either but the weird thing is the music for Neon East district (The Urbz on PS2) keeps playing in my head too!! LOL So I have just prepped 7 different neon images into 7 different colours each ready to make into floors. Now I'm pondering how to split them for sets, by colour or by pattern?? LOL I noticed when looking at my old TS1 stuff that the original neon wall I released was the most downloaded item, problem is the original image is lost!!!! So now I have new ones and hope they do as well as the original ones did ;o)

Child Box Car

I finaly managed to get the child box car together. Comming soon!
It mooves a little forward and back just as the toddler box car.

Current Projects:

Over 20k in downloads?! You guys and gals are so wonderful! Thank you for your support, and I sure hope you all have a wonderful time playing in these homes! Each home has a special soft spot for me, and it just tickles me to death when someone likes something I built enough to download it. Thank you VERY much!!!

Well now, I've got a bit on my plate this month. Here is the list I've given myself to accomplish:

1 - Get tutorial approved...not gonna tell you what it is until I'm sure it will be uploaded for publication though. ;) It isn't a big "Gasp! No one has EVER done this" serious secret tutorial thing, so don't expect too much. LOL! If it isn't approved...
*mysterious voice*
...you will never know what you missed. Mwahahaha!
2 - Create some more Base Game abodes.
*Whips out calculator...*
Adding in time for testing, tweaking, pictures, graphics...
*Glares at calculator, and throws it out the window.*
Yup, this will be taking up most of the month. :D
3 - I have two more "Grande" projects in the early planning stages as well. These, however, will probably require a few EPs.
(Hey! Come on now! Give me a break! It's TOUGH decorating with "base game/Maxis only" ALL the time. I need a little variety once in a while as well. Plus, I'm getting durn tired of the same blue wallpaper in every single boys room. Argh! I need at least a chance to see some other colors people. LOL! Not to worry...these are to be Maxis Only as well...just more variety of Maxis only.)

Whew! (Well, it's not REALLY like anyone reads these things, but at least I can keep track of my current project list. ;) ) Keep on simming, and thank you again for the wonderful support and comments everyone has sent me.

Awaken 4rm Da Dread

Actually, dread from the awakening... I have unwilling spent a crap load of time in "RL". I know, it's annoying for all of us; But I'm proud to say that I'm finally done with moving in and just about done with this semester of college. HU... RAH. Furthermore, I'm still trapped in Wonderland and have gone completely bonkers and I believe that I'm enjoying it? >XD. Not to mention that insanity keeps humans away. Emmmmm, imagine that. >XD For all of my Simmer buddies out there, I would like to say that I have missed you immensely and I'm elated to be back in Cyber World with you all!!! Mwaaaaahaaaa & Muah! (Especially Aikea, who has given me the compass & map. Special thanks to you!) Oh, one more thing. The dreadfulness of being out there in "Real Life" has actually inspired this upcoming set. Office Casuals, for those unfortunate simmies working 9-5. >XD Enjoy, Aj�ya�

Your lots no longer locked if you use my tat!

One change I was admittedly totally negative about at TSR was the fact that builders who used FA creations in their submitted lots were suddenly having their lots locked as subscriber-only. That sucked; as one of the founders of TSRAA, the whole point was that lot builders could use TSRAA-marked work without worry or concern, without having to worry about giving credit and all that tosh...

Well, a huge, huge thanks to TSR who've given this a rethink and will no longer be locking your lots if you should ever use TSRAA items made by FAs.

And ALL my stuff is TSRAA - even if I've forgotten to mark it as TSRAA. Use it freely in your lots - no need to ask first. Recolour my rubbishy meshes too, again, no need to ask. Please do as you like.

That means you have NO excuse now not to use my reinforced steel girders and my dirty toilets sets! There'll be none of this pitiful "Oh Sue, you know I WOULD, but my lot would be subscriber-only..." nonsense any longer! Ha! You're cornered now, and I will be watching!

You have been warned!

Coming Soon!

First up - A new set from my 'Pale Pastels Collections' - this time seamless, textured brick walls in 15 shades. Brighten up the outside of your houses, or even the inside - look nice as fireplace surrounds Secondly - My second set of paintings - the 'Winter Wonderland Collection'! Eight paintings depicting different snow scenes that your Sims can only dream of visiting - so make their dreams come true! I hope you like them! - Feedback and comments are always welcome on any of my creations - I like to know what people think! Mad Cow
