Back To Creating!
It's been a while since I've created anything, and I know a few people have been disappointed by that, but hopefully all of that will be changing!!
Unfortunately, I won't be creating for Sims 2 anymore due to circumstances beyond my control, but now I've finally discovered how to make paintings for Sims 3, I'm hoping that will become my new forte - for the time being anyway (anyone who knows me, also knows that one thing tends to lead to another and another and another......... !! - so who knows what might happen!).
Anyway, I just thought I'd do a quick update - yes, I am still alive and kicking (just!) - and all being well, my first S3 paintings submissions should be out soon! ;)
If anyone has any particular requests for me to convert any of my Sims 2 paintings for Sims 3, please leave a comment either here or in my GB and I'll see what I can do! ;) :D
'My Baby Pony' Nursery Collection
Firstly, a big thank you to everybody who left comments and messages regarding my previous nursery and bedroom sets - they are much appreciated - and I know some of you are waiting for more in the series! Since I don't like to disappoint if at all possible, I thought I would mention that I have just uploaded a brand new nursery collection: 'My Baby Pony' Nursery Collection There are previews of all of my nursery and childrens bedroom sets in my 'Gallery' on my minisite (including some yet to be released ;) ), so if you've missed any, or just want to be nosey, pop on over and take a look! Hope you like!New Nursery Collections!
Hi all! In case any of you missed it, I have a new 'Baby Nursery' to match my 'Little Puppy Bedroom' Collection released recently - here's a preview: and also I will be uploading another new nursery set shortly, so here's a little teaser of that one: My Baby Cow Nursery I hope you like them and, as always, any comments or ideas for future projects are welcome! Enjoy!!New Year - New Site - My Thoughts!
Hi All!
Well, I've been checking out the new site and trying to get my minisite organised over the last couple of days - with some degree of success! guess it's going to take a bit of getting used to, but I like the navigation tabs, and also the 'My TSR' and 'Dashboard' menus (now I've got them sussed out!). Not so sure about all the new 'pods', particularly on my minisite - I'd like to be able to re-arrange them, but there doesn't seem to be a 'move' option, or even a 'delete' option if you add one then decide you don't want it anymore - perhaps I just haven't found them yet or they'll be added later!
I like the 'Gallery' idea, although I did have a lot of issues trying to get it to work properly! I discovered that, even though it says you can add more pictures by editting it, when you actually try to do that, it comes up with error messages and won't let you add any more. It seems that you have to upload all of the pictures you want in a gallery when you first set it up - I'm hoping this will be changed so that you can add additional pictures at a later time if you so wish. It also gives you the option of 'Add Gallery', but when I tried this, it said I already had one and couldn't have any more! I hope we can have additional galleries in the future.
Maybe I'm going blind, but the 'Feature This' option for my downloads seems to have disappeared! We have the 'Featured Items' pod, yet I can't find a way of changing or adding any of my items - has anyone found this yet? If so, please tell !
Another thing I miss is having the mini avatars shown by posts in my GB - picky I know, but I'm a visual person and it made it so much easier if you were looking for a message from a certain person, or even to see if you'd been to someone's GB to leave them a message (old age you know - memory isn't what it used to be!!).
Anyway, overall I think the site is now a lot more snazzy and brighter, and it's like with anything - the more you use it, the more familiar it becomes!
Have Fun!

I'll Be Back!! - Shortly!
Hey!Just thought I'd give you all a quick update since I've been rather on the absent side lately!
Anyone who read my previous entries will know that I've had no end of hassle and problems with my old computer recently, so I've been unable to do any creating. I'm happy to say that I now have a brand spanking new computer, and once I've got everything downloaded and installed that I need, I WILL BE BACK with lots of goodies for you!
Anyway, just thought I'd keep you all updated, and to let you know that NO, you haven't got rid of me that easily!!
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!
Mad Cow!
It's Christmas!
Thought he was kinda cute! My new 'Mean Machine' (computer) has arrived, so I'll be spending most of the hols setting that up and getting everything installed. Hopefully that will solve all of the recent problems I've been having, and it'll be back to business as usual shortly! Anyway, just thought I'd wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - hope you have a great time! All the very best, Mad Cow!Fingers Crossed!!
Me Again!Just to let anyone who's interested know that I'm up and running again, albeit rather slowly!
I've got my computer in a kind of test mode at the moment, so if I don't have any further problems over the next day or so, I'll be back and you'll have some goodies in time for Christmas!
So keep your fingers crossed - that's if you want any more stuff!!!!
Optimistically Hopeful Mad Cow!
Another One Bites The Dust!
Hi All,Just a very quick message to say that, after a few weeks of on-going problems, my computer has finally succumbed to the workload I've been putting it under, and given up the ghost!
Unfortunately this means that until I can either fix it or replace it, I won't be able to upload anything, and my visits here will be limited.
Hopefully I'll be able to sort something out soon, but I just thought I'd let you all know the situation as it stands - I'm not deserting through choice, and I will be back!
Mad Mad Cow!
