My Barn 🐮

Hello, everyone!

Even though landscaping is one of my favorite activities in Second Life, I hardly ever share my landscapes on social media. However, I plan to change that in 2023! During my break from university, I have been spending countless hours finishing my farm. Here is my barn! I used Hive's gacha set "American Countryside" and Konoha's "Jest Weeds."

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.

Pottsfield Pumpkin Patch

Hello, guys!

Over a month ago I told you I was working on a parcel called "Pottsfield" named after a fictional town from my fave cartoon "Over The Garden Wall". Unfortunately, I couldn't keep that parcel for a number of reasons. But I did copy to my inventory the parts I used to landscape the parcel and decided to rezz them on a platform to, at least, take some pumpkin patch photos, since I love pumpkin patches very much! 

These photos turned out so great, I'm very happy. I confess I was procrastinating because I wasn't sure about which poses I should buy for this photoshot. Since Focus Poses doesn't offer an option to demo their poses, so I was unsure if I should get them or not, but in the end I did buy them and I'm very satisfied, I really like the poses and the props are very good too!

I also want to specially thank the owner of Hive, she always sends me the packs I need when I ask her to, even if they aren't on blogotex anymore. This barn is PERFECT, I love it, thank you, Hive.

Moving Into The Dreamhouse

Hello, guys!

I spent a long time being basically homeless in Second Life. I actually had a little platform where the owner of the parcel allow me to use 200 prims for blogging purposes. Around October last year I found a lovely community sim and decided to rent a house there. I began with a small Apple Fall house and then I decided I needed a bigger one and I ended up renting Apple Fall's Harwick Manor. I'm in love with this house. I have checked basically every furniture store within Second Life and I haven't found another house to fall in love with. 

Anyways, living in the community sim didn't last long, the owner of the sim, a very talented landscaper, decided to change the theme of the sim. I didn't like the new theme and decided to rent my own parcel. I spent months and months renting parcels around the grid, but I was never able to fully finish the landscape in these parcels. 

My biggest dream was to find an available spot within a homestead. I have seen many homesteads where residents would create a little community and live together. My dream came true around three weeks ago, when I finally found a family who rents a homestead and they had two plots available for new houses. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

We still have one plot available, tomorrow I'll be posting more photos showing the landscape that surrounds my house and the available plot, in case someone is also looking for a small cute homestead community to move in to. :D
