Bold New Move Fails

Well imagine that, a poll with no place to vote...hummm. I think I will seek some help from a higher power, as in Atwa..or Immek,
Sam

Fires: the delay is because...

Firstly, I decided (after the Spiral Stairs faus pas -stairs now fixed) to ensure that these fires are fully beta-tested (and this is going on right now), and secondly, I've been adding a few extra designs... Dome-shaped fire A small 2-tile fire for placing against walls... Bottle-oven fires Two fires in the shape of bottle ovens (1 and 2-tile versions)... Double-fronted fire A fire that opens to both rooms. A window to cut a suitable sized hole in the wall comes with this fire... Decorative chomney pieces... Additional decorative meshes for people who really do want their lots to show a chimney (none of these fires use the Maxis chimney)... Matching wallpapers will also be provided in the set. [Insert a quick "ooh" of excitement right here]. Rest assured that this set is very nearly ready and you can expect it to be available within the next 1-2 weeks.

Exams Moved

Due to the ravaging storms in our country, our periodical exams were moved to Sept. 4, 5, and 6. Therefore, new creations will have to wait until the 7th of September! In the meantime, enjoy the creations I have available in my minisite! Happy Simming!

Not MIA (Yet)

Hi, folks. Just thought I'd keep you posted on my current situation, should you be wondering where my usual monthly sets of garden flag recolours have gone or why I haven't completed your request or why I may have read your PM but not yet responded, etc. etc. etc.

In short, I've returned to work. Some of you may know that I'm a teacher; an elementary school teacher (grade one, currently), to be precise. While our classes haven't started quite yet, we've had the half of the school building I work in renovated over the summer holidays and this week we PYP teachers are attempting to put our classrooms back together again. That means a ton of moving classroom furniture and unpacking 30+ boxes per classroom, sorting, organising, binning rubbish - you name it - all with last minute construction continuing around us. Needless to say, the days are long and arduous, I'm exhausted when I come home and my body is sore and aching and I can barely consentrate enough to focus when it comes to the computer. As of today when I left work, things were finally starting to take direction and hopefully tomorrow will chew off the rest of the worst of it - at least we live in hope that it will.

Anyway, we'll be meeting our new classes/students next Monday - hopefully the weekend will help to refresh me - and these first 1-2 weeks will probably continue to have me up in the air creations-wise as I try to balance getting settled with a new class, new work areas, new schedules, keeping up with the housework, creations, having a personal life (*gasp*) and oh yeah, the new EP coming out shortly. Bare with me and throw in a life preserver if I don't resurface. ;)

busy, busy, busy

Okay, there has been a surplus of work at work! I had a couple of trips too, a boat ride on the Hudson River and a weekend trip to Montreal to ride the rollercoasters at La Ronde.

This week and weekend I will be working overtime for some extra time off for Thanksgiving. I will hopefully have the next chapter done in a couple of weeks. I have not forgotten. I have also signed-up for an online programming and online marketing classes. I am not sure how this effect my Sim time but I need the skills. I'm sorry I haven't been around much.

Flower Power

My second set of uniforms for Open For Business is a set designed for florists / garden centres. The uniforms are again available for elder, adult, young adult and teen males and females. The uniform comprises a natural hessian apron (with daisy appliqu� on female aprons) worn over a striped short-sleeved shirt and classic stone Chinos. It was nice to have an opportunity to make use of some of the very cute Maxis hats. This time I used different hats for males and females (both are trimmed with fabric which matches the shirt of the uniform): for the ladies I chose an elegant straw sun hat trimmed with ribbon tied in a bow at the back; for the guys I went for a simple hessian sun hat. As before, the hats replace the Sim's existing hairstyle. For the ladies, the hair under the hat is worn in a short ponytail.



The aprons require Open For Business (unless you simply use them to replace NPC skins). Both hats are base game compatible.

Mission Style

Currently working on For Him, Den Set and of course, For Her, Denette Set. These recolors will go with any of the maxis furniture wood recolors and my wood recolors. Mix & Match! Set will be mostly furniture cushion recolors, curtains, pet beds (Maxis & Sa99), lamp shade, bedding, etc.

Hope you like them. Keep On Simmin'! & Enjoy!

A Bold New Move

Well, for me it is bold. I ventured into the "Post a Poll" area of my site this morning. I have NO idea if I did it correctly, but it will either show up on my page or fly off into unknown territory. I know the question I asked is both thought provoking, and important to your life. Actually, I think you earn a few kudos if you answer!
