Roawenwood: Design & Craft

My latest project!  Ok I’ll probably regret adding something else but I do like doing things right?

It’s Wednesday… Hump Day!  That day of the week that is smack dab in the middle, you’re not at the weekend yet…. you got the first part of the week out of the way at least but you still gotta get over that hump.  Well I know how it is and I know that sometimes Wednesday can seem like a pretty long day… while ya’ll are dying for the weekend to start I figured I’d start doing something a little bit each week to break up the monotony.

This week since this is all a budding new project of mine I figured what the hell…

For today (through tomorrow morning if I don’t get to changing them back tonight) everything on the NEW ARRIVALS platforms at my main location is going to be 50% OFF

New outfits, seasonal, whatever is on those platforms is going to be 50% off.

Now, I’m not going to do this every week…. I’ll come up with something else suitably tempting I would hope for some of you… but since I just came up with the idea this will give ya’ll a quick fix.

Now what to do for next week……. hmm…..

Here’s an idea.  A CONTEST!

Send me a notecard, title it your name, the date, and Hump Day Happenins

In the notecard outline ideas that you think would benefit shoppers here at Roawenwood.  50% certain items?  Special offers?  Something else?  Remember I may use them so if they are near or dear to your heart don’t send em in.   I’ll pick from that pool of notecards up to 5 people (hope I get some lol) who I think have some pretty decent ideas and they will win a 1000L gift certificate redeemable at my main location.

Notecards for ideas will be accepted up until November 2nd.  Next Wed. I’ll announce who won.

Woot!  Something to look forward to.

Have a great week and take care!

Ahh well here I go babbling.  So far this week there’s been a lot of little work done around the actual store.  I expanded the main furniture section moving things around there as well as moving back and expanding the chore/work area.  It was getting cluttered and while I’m still not 100% satisfied with it I am feeling a little less claustrophobic about it.

I’m trying to gear up to decorate some winter type scene… maybe I’ll put in ice skating again.  I haven’t decided yet totally what I’m going to do but it is technically getting to that time of year where I add some snow, ice, and holiday gear.  So some of my holiday stuff will be back out, some will be redone, and some well.. probably should just be retired.  Maybe I’ll shower my groupies with gifts again, who knows.

I have a few ideas for outfits for the holiday/winter season that I am getting nailed down to work on…. I have a new garden out in the work area with a few more harvesting type things.  One of them is kind of cool, has room for three workers, no poseballs… having fun messing around with that.  Sent out a lil groupie gift through the subscriber list… just a bunch of Halloween type things for fun.

I have a chore set that will be coming out soon.  A few pieces to it to create a scene.  I’m boxing up a big walled garden that I made.  It looks really freekin cool I think, just not sure where I’m going to put it.  It is definitely something that I want people to be able to see… but I don’t know if I want to put it in one of the rez vendors.  Feels like such a waste, it’s so pretty looking.

I guess that’s enough babbling for now.

Take care and have a good one.

I just finished up a cute outfit.  Skulls -n- Denim I called it, I know… it isn’t very inspired for a name but I couldn’t think of anything.

Two colors, black denim and blue denim… each with little red hearts and skulls decorating parts of it.  I haven’t decided if I feel like doing other colors… but these look pretty good I think.  I set up the outfits to each have two sashes.  One with skulls, one without.  The camisk top, shorts for people who like a lil more modesty, and then a set of anklets.

I like it.  I’m hopin ya’ll do too.  For this week until or through Halloween I’m going to have them both in my lucky chairs.

Have fun and good luck!!

This week has had a lot of really nice updates around the store! I’m working on expanding and reworking parts of it since I’m feeling a little crowded in the working/chore area among other things.  I’m not sure entirely how it will shape up but it will work out.  I’m going to be redoing the spot at Hunters Cove too I think.  It hasn’t been changed and the houses are a little prim heavy…

Anyhow…. onwards!

This week a new outfit was released.  Aptly named “Flirty” this little number has tons of wear options.  It includes 4 different prim skirts… beaded, plain, with and without a pouch or beads… then you have the two different tops, naughty or nice… then you have a camisk version with a waist sash, also in naughty or nice.  Not stopping there either there is a set of beads for the hip if you don’t want to wear a skirt… beads for the belly, there’s nipple rings if you don’t want to wear a top… and there’s the waist sash by itself so you can wear it with a skirt or without.  Like I said… TONS of ways to wear this outfit so you can be as naughty or as nice as you wanna be!  Available in 6 colors you can pick it up on Xstreet or at my in world locations.

I also released a whole slew of hair flowers.  These were done awhile ago and left floating around my inventory…. there are 21 different shades or patterns of flowers so there is something pretty much for everyone, along with the fat pack of course.  They’re priced reasonably at 25L each… the fat pack is sharply discounted if you want to have them all.  They really do look nice too, I was in a mood one day and fiddled till I came up with it.

Then if that wasn’t enough I decided to release 3 brand new pieces for your dungeon, kennel or just if you have a craving to tie someone up.  They’re lockguard compatible and come with their own set of cuffs/collar so you can torment anyone even if they don’t have the accessories.  They’re done in rich dark texturing with really awesome accents… rusty metal rings and all.

That wraps up the new items that were put out for sale but then I put out two new items for the Lucky Chairs…. because I’m in a mood I’m going to give them their own lil post after this one.

Have a great weekend!!

I saw these before but hadn’t blogged about it.

Silks of SL reviewed three of my outfits recently.  It’s always a bit daunting for me when I see em, sit up a lil straighter.  There’s always some pics of the outfits which I have to look over hopin that the things look as good on someone else than when I try to create them.

It’s so cool seeing people that take the time to write and post about things.  The outfits that were reviewed are the Anysia silks, Midice silks, and the Volupia Netted Livery… very cool, thank you so much for taking the time and the feedback.

Another blog that creeped up and caught my eye recently is the Feeling Lucky one.  Olympia Oakleaf posts lil blurbs about places and their prize offerings for lucky chair etc.  I swear this past week when I changed my lucky chair prize within minutes the blog was updated with a photo of the latest I had put in there. LOL  Fun stuff!

I appreciate the work folks put into blogging, reviewing, and all of that.  Usually don’t ask for anything in return, do lots of work, and do help us out.  So Thank You!!
