Roawenwood: Design & Craft

Ahhh, winter is loosing its grip on the sim.  Slowly the snow is melting and retreating, first the roof tops lost their white powdery covering, the ice has thawed on the pond (no more ice skating!  *sniffs*) while patches of green begins to peek through the snow.  Of course this means that the snow people had to pack their bags… can’t very likely hang about now.

So if you take a close look you’ll see that spring is beginning to show itself around the sim… hopefully it will warm you and carry you through if you (like I do) live in a snowy cold area in real life.  *laughs*

Today is Hump Day so I’m running a special this week.  Dance pits and everything in the large purple/blue tent is 50% off.  A good little bit of merchandise… the harem rug is a nice little deal if you’re interested marked down to 300 something lindens.

What I’m REALLY excited about is the release of my latest work set.  I’ve been working pretty hard on it and trying to get a flavor of authenticity with it.  I know it isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea or fun idea but I created a soap making set.  This isn’t just a basic thing with a campfire with a couple molds or something.  This set in its entirety can take you through the different phases of the process of making soap the old fashioned way. From gathering the ashes so you can make the lye, to the creation of said lye…. then onto the cooking, mixing, and rendering of the soap.  After all of that there is also a piece for pouring the soap into the molds.

There’s four distinct pieces to the set each one with an embedded animation that is adjustable through menu… you know how much I try to avoid using poseballs if I can help it, helping create that immersive air for interactions.  I think this set could be used by a lot of different types.  Rustic and all, of course a slave chore but it could be used for those that have a business making soap or perfumes too.  I can see all sorts of opportunity when you take a little bit of an effort… then pour it into something else.

It can be purchased as a set or individually if you only want a piece or two.

To try them out, come down to Roawenwood at the five blades sim.

Hello to the brave and loyal few who like to listen to me ramble on a weekly basis, or whenever the mood strikes.  It is Wednesday!  You ready for it?  What a week…. what a week… This week is sick week, been down and mostly out with a nasty stomach virus for the past 3 days so I really can’t say I have anything new to throw at you.  I’m still sippin on my chicken noodle. *grins*

HUMP DAY SPECIAL FOR THIS WEEK

Since I really didn’t come up with anything new I’m going to give you all a heads up.  This week today the 20th and through the 22nd I’m knockin a healthy discount down off of most chores and related items.  50% off unadvertised (except for you lovelies and anyone you decide to clue in) on most things in and around the sheds.

The apple/larma picking, and orange picking trees are also included in the special as well.

So there it is…. short, and sweet… to the point this week.

I have a few things in development as always, can’t keep me down for long.   Some new chores, new furniture and maybe even an outfit rolling around somewhere.

Take care and have a good week!  Talk to ya’ll soon.

A new release for the downtrodden, the less than fortunate… for she-urts, vagabonds, hobos and the like.  For slave girls, bond maid, and whoever else that can’t afford a good shoe, or who just don’t care for shoes but still want something covering up those toes especially during cold weather.

Old and worn socks have arrived at Roawenwood!  Sculptured prim heavy knitted socks in 11 different colors, worn, and shaded, slouched down at the ankle.  You get the whole socks, and you also get a sock with a hole in the end of the toe… sculpty big toe stickin out ever so nicely too!

A great role play accessory for men or women.  The socks are sized for women but they can be stretched to fit a mans foot as well.  I tried, and honest it works, I might resize and put a male set into the boxes just to make it easier and then add they are unisex however I haven’t yet.  Maybe tomorrow.  *grins*

They look real nice… and are a lot of fun.  A couple of the colors, plum and copper I believe, have been added to the lucky chairs along with the exclusive outfit that I put in there earlier this month.

It is that time of the week again, and while this is a secret that was passed along to my update list… an unadvertised special… I figured I’d put it here too for all of you who happen by.

Did you know that today (1/13) and tomorrow (1/14) I am going to let you pick one thing from my store at Five Blades.  ANYTHING from the store… from the lowest priced to the highest priced, pick that ONE item… purchase it, and then send me a note with your transaction history on it of that purchase and I will refund you 50% of the money you spent.

Big or small.  Have your eye on something?  Want to pick up something big, little, in between?  Go ahead… just remember to send me a notecard with the transaction history on it and I’ll get that right back to you as soon as I can.

Please rename notecards so I know who they are from and what it is for… if you do not then they may be lost and I really try to not have that happen.  Example:   Hump Day Secret Sale 1-13-10 / Searlait Nitschke

Happy Hump Day!!
