Keeping up with events!

I have so many photos of the doings that I am starting to fall behind in my blogging!
First something that excites me more than the book reading Lukos took me to...

I have been asked to host a display in Aurofil land. Aurofil is a thread company that has a Second Life presence.

AlexVeronellie Auer has set up a huge display of threads and crafts and has asked representatives from the SL community to set up a display in the adjoining complex.

So I have set up a little display of quilts in my area. Alex has set me up with boards to direct people from SL to the Blogs for RL.

NCI-
I got myself to NCI in time for the Newbies Show and Tell. Mr Randt's fading staircase was a knock out of ingenuity but the winner, for home comforts was Lorimae's lounge setting.

Busy Day

Oh dear.
I have been in SL for a lot of hours today!
Started the morning with Lukos who was keen to get the temporary rezzer working. Blood sweat and tears... and after some thinking, we have a successful rezzer! ("We" in the so far as he made it and it lives in my house!). I was an observer only and almost out of depth at that! It lets my mouse carriage, with its 105 prims sit out being projected, so to speak, by a single prim. Aley has told me not to trust the rezzer. Apparently with no warning, it can break and fill the house with mice. Interesting!! I am not sure how bad that would be. Would be staggeringly funny I think. But then Grandma Bates warned that she has been called in to deal with sever script failures.. so maybe I don't want to go there after all.

Having accomplished that, Lukos was keen to deal with the next project. Build a deck (as I call it). The deck was built and we sat on it to admire. Although we posed for photos, I have used the ones that show the deck after a lick of paint.

Then I met neighbour, Bromo who mentioned the possibility of an island party. Yes please! Bromo appeared at first in a fearsome costume for a Dune role playing sim. A quick change, and suddenly I had a regular av in my lounge room.

Sarinah dropped by to chat and Lukos got steadily more and more tired. After all it was heading towards dawn in his neck of the woods.
Finally he went to sleep after getting me to promise to fix the clock and make a chair for the porch (as he calls it). Slave driver.

The chair was made, without much fuss and here I am sitting on it.

The clock took a bit more time. So I took my pendulum parts and headed to NCI, Kuula.

Rowan had started a disco and I was just in the mood so while the body got down, the brain got stuck into the pendulum. Results! I had a pendulum that swung and some disco photos to blog! Seen in various poses are Welli, Rowan, Bev, me and Visciouspen.

That would count as enough for a day, but wait there's more!

I got home, installed the pendulum and thought to myself.. needs to tick. Quick search and a vendor was located. And as well as a tick-tock sound, the vendor had chimes. I flew back home and it's all installed. So now the clock tocks, ticks, swings and dings! Nice!

Then Xavier announced himself back after his holiday so I pootled over to NCI for a chat, ran into more of my favorite people as Aley and Grandma Bates were there too.

Really nice day with great people... but just look at the time on that clock!!!!!!

Across the night...

In the words of Molly Meldrum, do yourself a favour and go and listen to:

wish I could pipe this into my house!

Visitors

I love show and tell.. but I don't get to play that any more at NCI because of work hours....
So for show and tell, I have to abduct innocent victims and drag them to Wyre.

Today I dragged Sandplum and Visciouspen to see my house and sit in my garden. They said all the right things and I hope they come again!
The subject of conversation was " to have a real life picture or not in profile". What do you think?

Feelin Shallow

Deep and meaningfuls.. had quite a lot of them in SL- but right now I am feeling shallow.
I am in love with this suit.

I finally brought in some money to SL to have some discretionary spending... and last night I went shopping. I love the suit. I could take myself on a date with it. I did get to dance in it with Lukos at Erasmus and Autopilotpatty's wedding. Lucky Lukos ;)

St Valentines Day Bash

St Valentine's Day Party at NCI
As the otherhalf was having a turn on the pc when the party kicked off and I lay sick in bed with a cold, I figured I was going to miss the gala event!

I crawled out of bed with barely 5 minutes to go, donned the beautiful dress that Skye Qi had as a Saint Val's freebie... and made it for what was supposed to be the last three minutes!
Actually, the party was still humming when I arrived and it was so worth the effort.
The organisers.. and I am not sure who they all were but I know that Gramma, Bev and Zi all played a part, had done a great job.

I got there just in time for the best dressed competition but feeling a bit poorly, I thought it would more fun to watch than to compete. Everyone looked fantastic.. but I guess I appreciate the effort that the guys put in. Getting dressed up in a pretty dress doesn't need rewarding!



On the floor is Brace- in a faint after hearing that she and Welly had won the best Dressed.
P.S And Visciouspen, centre with hearts balloons, can second in the men's category.

St Valentine's Day and such

It is a mad, mad world!
Poor Visciouspen failed to take top place with his lovely St Valentine's day chair at the NCI newbie builder blitz tonight. But luck had not entirely left him! As he sat waiting for Miss Right to arrive, who should appear but... Mecha!

A closer look at his face though, revealed that Visciouspen was not altogether pleased with his prize.

There was at least one Ozzie rolling around laughing.
However with wonderful Beverly to keep a gentle hand on the shuddering rudder of NCI, things were soon rectified and Sandplum rose victoriously into his arms to swing gracefully around the mall boards.
