Blue Magnolia Kitchen

This one is for CVScorpio28....this was one of her requests. I hope it's to your liking! I do have a purple texture I love, so that one may be next. I'm still keeping my eyes open for the rest. Enjoy!!

Kitchens

Good morning! Ok, so I'm not really a morning person, but it's saturday. On Saturdays, I get my husband up for work early, then start laundry and work on my creations for TSR/Simaholics.

My Spring Chicken Kitchen was released earlier this week, and I got the most wonderful comment on it from CVScorpio! In addition, she requested a bunch of recolors for this kitchen - dark blue, lavender, yellow, white, peach, light orange. Hmm...I'm not much for white (too bright), and yellow might be ok, but the rest I can definitely do. Since I start my college classes on August 30th (in addition to working full time, with a husband and 4 kids), I won't have as much time as I'd like to devote to creating, so I'm on the ball!!! I have a blue texture picked out, so that one will be next.

If anyone has any requests, please, let me know! My greatest inspiration comes from YOU! I may not be picasso, but I will give it my best shot. I'm not a mesh artist (yet), but I can do a mean recolor when given direction and a little time. Sock it to me!

I'm Baaaaack!

Yay! My game took a dump on me last week and it's taken me this long to get everything working again. Unfortunately, I lost that gorgeous house I was working on, along with a lot of other custom content I put in my game. I guess it was just the Sims2 way of telling me it was time to clean house! On the up side, it only takes me about a minute to load my game now!

I've also not had time for TC at all (I'm having mad withdrawl), but I'm releasing a set I've been working on for some time now called the Spring Chicken Kitchen. It compliments my Country Green walls & floors, and is my absolute favorite recolor yet. I'd like to thank Catherine (RICCI2882) for all her help with it. She pointed out to me that .gif files make for lousy recolors! Thanks Cat!

If you have a moment, please stop by & visit me, Cat, Dr. Macabre, Momama, Dinad & others at Simaholicsrus.com. I've done a few things there that I won't release here at TSR!

Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!

new house II

at least I *thought* i uploaded the pic.....

new house

I've taken a little break from TC, and was puttering around in my sim neighborhood and decided to make a new house. It came out better than I expected. What do you think?

Thanks, TC!

Sorry for not blogging sooner, but I forgot how to add a new entry :P

Yeah, I know. It's been that kind of year for me.

I've come a long way (I think) in my recoloring - this latest Texture Challenge (TC40) I've even recolored non-maxis stuff! Simaddict99 gave me permission to recolor some of her objects, but I have to read up on her slave/master technique a little. I'd love to do something with her mission style nursery. She has so many fabulous creations!

Most of my progress is due to the TC community. They're a great bunch! I've really enjoyed working and learning with them. They're inspiring and helpful, and it's really neat to see what we each come up with when working with a given texture. There are so many different ways we interpret the same things, it's just fabulous when it all comes together. I plan on making a house out of TC40, and some TC39 items that Simari did are really neat, I want them for my game!

Thanks to all the folks in the TC (whether newbies or seasoned veterans): Momama, Atwa, Simari, Eisbaerbonzo, Tlkaska, ImmeK, Diamond, Minsmusic, Ricci2882, Jay27, Bennyboy, Moza, Poohbear, Mayskaya, dhaissa, Simari...I hope I didn't leave anyone out... I know a few have only dabbled in the creating process, but everyone is always overflowing in positive feedback and help!

Texture Challenges

Hi again everyone! Hope y'all are doin alright today.

This week I started doing the Texture Challenges in the Forums. I am really enjoying it, and learning so much. There are some wonderfully talented folks in there, and some noobs like me - everyone helps everyone, regardless of skill level. I love the feeling of comraderie there, and expect to do more challenges. Please feel free to comment on my TC sets, I'd really love to hear what you think!

Hi Everyone!

Woooo HOooooo! Finally earned enough of those Kudos to get a minisite! Thanks to everyone who downloaded my creations, and took the time to tell me how much they enjoyed my work. I love a good challenge, so if you don't see something you like, just ask. I'll do my best to whip something up for you!
