Computer Crash!!

Hello Everyone,
Due to a major computer meltdown new uploads will have to be put on hold for a while. I'm hoping to be up and running soon so please be patient.

Les Miserables d'Arles

Hi!

It's almost midnight but just a few words before I go to bed:

I've just submitted a new lot, fully furnished and wornout, specially designed for your young & poor sim family.

Thanks to MsBarrows, who's Poorhouse set gave me this idea today! You know, I have a warm spot in my heart what it comes to poor sims & poor people! Since I've been quite poor myself at some point of my life, I know what it is like. This house, though, is also wornout, ugly and messy, and that � mind you � has nothing to do with being poor!! I actually love to be able to make things look nice without that much cash� But never mind, I have submitted this new lot today after making a sketch at work during my lunch break!! I hope you�ll like it!!

Credits to MsBarrows, Cyclonesue & Maxoid Monkey.

Happy simming!
Tiina:)

Recreated Sponging Sets

I have finished recreating the sponging sets that I had accidentally deleted. They're as close to the original ones as I could make them, but may be slightly different, seeing as how I had to start from scratch.

I will be uploading them tonight and tomorrow, and they should start to become available for download by next week.

Hopefully you all enjoy them. I put a lot of work into them. :)

SAM 12 Aug 2001 - 22 March 2008

We all finally arrived safe and sound at our new house in Salalah in the Sultanate of Oman. We had two really good days settling into our new home, Sam had a great time chasing the feral cats that live on the compound and exploring his new surroundings. Then on the 21st March tragedy struck. We went up to the roof terrace to have a look, Martin opened the door and Sam pushed past him with a wild look in his eyes, he ran across the roof and jumped the wall, he fell two storeys onto the concrete below. He broke both his front legs and he couldn't stand on his back legs, it was confirmed by x-rays on the 22nd March that he had broken his back, the vet gave him a 2% chance of recovering as he had some feeling in his back legs and sometimes he moved his tail and back legs, but she said if he did recover he wouldn't be able to run and jump which is pretty much all Sam did. He was such a lively bouncy dog, always running around and jumping around that we decided it wasn't fair to put him through that so we asked the vet to put him to sleep. We found a lovely quiet beach cove near where we live and buried Sam on a hill overlooking the sea. He was my best friend and my constant companion. I am totally heartbroken. The house is so empty without him, I miss him dearly and I am so thankful for the wonderful six and a half years that I had with him. R.I.P Sam my angel, you will always be in our hearts.

Hello!

Hello everyone! I know my site looks really empty and bad right now but I'll be adding stuff more because I just started! Thank you for all of your support!

Archived!

Now that I'm an FA again, I had the option of moving some of my creations off to the TSR Archive if I so desired. So a few of my older and odder creations have now been shuffled off into relative obscurity. Not very many though, as I am inordinately fond of several of my oldest (and strangest!) creations like my Toad Eye colour and Fruit Baby sculpture, and am in no particular hurry to disown them. As you can see from the Fruit Baby, I was using the repository technique even that far back in time. I owe undying gratitude to Windkeeper for explaining to me what I was doing wrong in my attempts to get it working on those first few experimental meshes!

Moving things has, however, had the side effect of dropping my downloads counter back under two million. I guess some time in the next few weeks I'll get to have the fun of re-dinging this recent milestone achievement, hahaha!

Coffee Shop

As some of you may know I am struggling with a putter that's just not up to the job of playing Sims However I am still trying to play and have found some inspiration in this challenge http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=321606 am having great fun, however as others of you know, I struggle to string two coherent sentences together, so no there won't be a story LOL however I have been inspired to create a series of pic's just for this lot and have more to come upload soon, promise Dawn

Mira's Oala Teen Room in TC73

Finally I couldn't let my hands off Svealyn's textures for Texture Challange 73...they are light blue, I had no chance -:) ! An updated draft - the curtain pattern should be smaller, the cushion roll needs a better pattern and the bedding pillow needs some work to come up less blurry. How do other creators manage to do a set in some hours?

Working on things...

I am still working on my next projects. Sometimes I'll start on something, decide I don't like how its going, and either change it a little, or a LOT. Nine times out of ten, it ends up being a lot! Like I start on one set of meshes, then totally change to another set. But I will have something new ready soon!

Gargoyles and Mags

I have two projects going at the moment. The closest to being ready for submission is a magazine rack that fits on the front of counts. The mesh package is complete, I just want to do some recolors to make a set. One thing I've always wanted is Gargoyles to put on the corners of my old buildings. But not just sitting on top of a corner, actually coming out of it properly at an angle. So far I've figured out how best to do that and have roughed out the idea. Now I have to work on the mesh and get it looking the way I want. This will probably be a long project.
