Murphy's Old Ale House

Hello, everyone! How is your new year going so far? 

I have been feeling very creative lately. I'm currently working on a landscape that I will be using for my next posts. I really miss using my photos to tell stories, therefore I have been focusing on writing a new story for my avatar, and landscaping and decorating really helps me bring those stories alive.

Today my post is about the Irish Pub Building - Winter Edition created by DRD. This is one of my favorite buildings ever created in Second Life. The attention to detail is amazing, the textures are beautiful, and I love both the interior and the exterior. I am planning to take more pictures of the interior as well! Both the winter and the normal versions are available at DRD's main store.

The Messy Artist

Hey, guys!

Since last December, I have been struggling to find inspiration to take photos I truly enjoy within Second Life. Which has led me to spend less time online and focus on new activities. I have been reading a lot of webtoons (I recommend "A Good Day To Be a Job", "Devil Number 4" and, my favorite, "Cursed Princess Club"), watching K-dramas (I just finished "Oh My Venus" and I loved it!) and trying to fix my bedtime, haha. 

I have also got back to playing The Sims to explore their new pack "Discover University". As a way to help me gather some inspiration for my photos, I used The Sims to recreated Grace and her family. I gave her two younger sisters: Valerie and Clarissa. I opted for the surname "Ashwell", inspired by Rachel Ashwell, a very talented author and designer from England (I'm currently reading "The Praire").

About this photo — inspired by Grace's sister, Valerie. 

Valerie is 24-years-old artist who earned her degree in Fine Art from the University of Britechester last week! Her passions include her family, french cinema, painting and analog photography.

After receiving a call from her younger sister, Grace is finally visiting Valerie's new atelier. Valerie was hoping that Grace would come to help her organize the new space. But instead, Grace decides to try a new hobby, using Merlot, her doggo, as her model, she is painting a masterpiece (not really).

Grace is wearing a dungaree by BTTB — purchased last Black Friday and never used before —  and her new sneakers from Versov.

Thanksgiving Gone Wrong

Picture this: For the first time you will be hosting Thanksgiving at your house. Your family and your husband's family are coming to celebrate too. 

My husband took this photo of me, trying to understand what could possibly have gone wrong for my perfect turkey to have turned into a big piece of burnt bird. While my sister laughed and shook her head telling me, "mom won't be impressed". 

I guess we won't be having turkey for Thanksgiving this year...
