#478 The question is not what you look at...

...but what you see - Henry David Thoreau

I have always wanted to do some home & garden blogging, but never quite got round to it for various reasons (mainly that I thought I wouldn't be good enough at it).  However, when I got this set, I llked it so much that I thought I would give it a go.  I had fun with it, so am pretty sure there will be more h&g posts to follow.

The majority of the items in this bedroom are from Kaerri at their Caledon store - my particular favourites are the phonograph, steamer trunk and candle lamp, and I love the design on the bed cover.  All the items make the bedroom look really cozy and comfortable.

The wig boxes in the picture below are from %Percent at the Gachapalooza event, at just 25L a pull.  I don't know how long they will be there, so if you are interested, best get there soon.  The wallpaper is from the Celestial Night set by Irrie's Dollhouse.

#476 Time spent with cats is never wasted

......Sigmund Freud

This quote is true for me, in all lives, I type this with my rl kitty snoring and purring at the same time on the arm of the sofa I am sitting on.  As for sl, I was struggling to find a good photo destination to take these pics, so decided to take them at home, and this usually means a kittycat of some sort will make a guest appearance.  A lot has been changing in the garden so I thought I would take some pics using some great camera poses from Le Poppycock.

My vest top is from DE Designs and fits absolutely perfectly on my Lara mesh body - it comes in a great range of colours, or a hud operated fat pack. It is compatible with all Belleza bodies, both Slink bodies, Maitreya Lara, and for standard avvies, a fitmesh version. I have teamed it with some recently updated boyfriend jeans from Lapointe & Bastchild.  My boots are new from Baby Monkey and can be bought in a classics hud, with the option to buy an extended hud.   They are compatible with Slink, Belleza and Maitreya mesh bodies, and also classic avvie.

This post is somewhat delayed as I have had a bit of a nightmare when my Lara mesh body corrupted, so I had to delete it and use a fresh one, which meant redoing all my saved outfits.  Also, I have also suddenly and belatedly (and about timely!), got the mesh head bug - I have had 4 of them for ages, but never quite felt like "me" in them.  That changed this week as I found an applier that I love, and yes, feels like me!  So as well as sorting out my mesh body problems, I also have to think about totally revamping all my outfits with a mesh head, so my little blogger head is spinning right now.  Anyway, expect much mesh headish gorgeousness on this blog very soon :).

#263 Those Fall Evenings

So Tomm took me out dancing last night, we had a wonderful night but I'm afraid I drank a little too many pixel cocktails, and don't really remember how I got home.  Then he showed me this picture and it started coming back to me, but my head was aching too much to think about it so I went back to sleep, leaving Tomm to do the housework and look after the kitties.  I felt a lot better when I woke up, but I think I will stay clear of those pixel cocktails for a while - well a couple of hours at least!

I just have to say a HUGE thank you to Tomm for his patience and help during our first official couple shoot, and for making the whole process such fun.  You really are the best, Mr M!
