Roawenwood: Design & Craft

This week I tossed around a few ideas for what I was going to release or do for my Wednesday thing.  I try to do things that I think will be of interest at the time.  For a better part of the day I had mulled over exactly what I could do for Mother’s day coming up on Sunday.  And then it hit me…. so simple really.

Breakfast in bed!  What woman doesn’t warm or melt when the one she cares for takes the time to think of her… bringing her a warm toasty breakfast, awakening her to the sweet company of those she cares about and giving her a few moments of soft fuzziness. So I set to it… working away up in my workshop and came up with a lovely piece that I am happy to release.  A tray with an embedded couples animation set.  The female sits back propped against pillows, headboard, what have you… her legs stretched out in front of her, tray over her lap while her S.O. sits alongside relaxed, arm over her legs talking to her.  What a fine fine thing don’t you think?  The plate has a yummy breakfast all prepared… eggs, bacon and toast with a warm muffin along the side.  Made mostly of sculpted prims it looks lovely… good enough to eat!  Touch the tray to receive a fork to wear… female sits first, and then the male.  No poseballs, and the sits are adjustable through menu.

My other release this week is a set of slave beds.  I have a couple over in the slave gear section but they’re older, use a texture change script that can end up being messed up if you reset it wrong so I finally redid them to something that I prefer a little bit more.  One of them even suspiciously looks like the furred couch/bed that I released awhile back.  Hmmm…. go figure.  There’s four of them, a couple basket types… a couple with the darker outside.  Most have texture change, either the linens can be changed or the basket or both.  One of the great things about it is firstly, it is a lower prim item.  7 prims for one of them and 6 for the others… then obviously the texture change.  Tons of options with those so you can decorate or personalize them a little bit more… then… I made them copiable!  TA DA!  I know, not a big deal right?  Well this is one of those items where if you have multiple slaves then you can let them have their own beds, or use them in a kennel… or stable… or wherever, it makes things so much easier for you the end user I think.  Of course the permissions limit so you can’t transfer but well… can’t have everything.  They’re very reasonably priced for a copiable item like this so come down and see.  Each bed comes with 7 different animations or poses from curled sleep to pleading.

That is about it for now… soooooo much coming up and out in the near future.  I feel a sim rebuild comin on and some brand new naughty goodness to taunt….. err… tempt you with.

Take care!

Awhile back I made a slave shower.  It was kind of grungy, a pipe sticking up out of a platform… ugly really, perfect for dungeon or whatever but it was a little more modern looking than a lot of ya’ll liked.  A lot of people that I have come by my place like a more rustic look to things than a pipe with a shower head.

I had been intending for a very long time to create a pitcher pump styled set, just never quite got around to it…. that is, until now.  Made mostly of sculptured prims there is two new version types for your slave to keep themselves clean using the pitcher pump.  One has a basin at its base, tilted up with a small pool of water and a kneeling washing animation.  You can turn on water to pour from the pump with a click.  The other is like the shower, water droplets turn on when you sit with three different ways to wash yourself using two animations.

The third one doesn’t use the pitcher pump, it is a simple bucket with water at its base.  This one uses the kneeling washing animation… a low prim alternative that can be placed anywhere.  Inside or outside depending on what you are looking to have.

I’m thinking that between all of my recent releases with sponge baths, grooming and everything else that just about anyone can find something that will appease that need for their role play scene.  At least I’d like to think so.

I hope ya’ll have had a great weekend!

Yesterday I realized it was the 7th, a whole week past the beginning of the month basically and I hadn’t gotten to the post here on the blog about March’s Winner.  Ughh…. you know, that is really not quite like me and I apologize profusely to the last months winner of the picks contest.  Though really it probably didn’t upset her all -that- much… I DID do the prize part, which is the good stuff.  *grins*

This past months winner of the 2000L and the 2000L Store Credit was…… KittenAnne Mousehold!!  Congrats!

It was fun, and I got the…. “oh my god I never win anything!”  hehehe makes it even better.

Remember it is easy to get in on the chance to win, all you have to do is come down… click the sign at the landing point while keeping Roawenwood in your picks.  You know… the first person I picked off the list this past month DIDN’T have the store in their picks.  Tsk tsk, so they didn’t win and that’s why KittenAnne got lucky!!

Other up and coming news?  It’s a secret but….. I’m probably going to be rebuilding the store very soon.  I know right?  I know how it is and I like it when I go to a place to be able to find everything where I left it so to speak but hopefully the layout will still keep shopping easier.  I’m having to move some of my more adult content and upcoming content into an adult rated area.  I don’t like it but I’m sure it will work out.  Roawenwood is still going to try to have an atmosphere that I enjoy… hopefully it turns out ok.  Cross your fingers for me.

In the meantime what does that mean to you?  Not a whole lot except that at some point the bulk of my inventory will be put into a temporary store in the sky so you guys can still get to it while I work on the ground level.  I will probably be retiring some merchandise, though I haven’t picked what exactly.  Once that is settled we’ll have some reopening stuff… and hopefully a lot of new fun things for you to peek at!

Newness for yesterday!  I put out a camp set.  The Woodsman Camp Set with a sculpted tent, camp blankets, fire, terrain piece and grass so you can create a neat little scene with it.  The tent, terrain, and grass is copy, while the blankets and the fire are transfer.  I figured this way you can create a camp easily or just use the one.  It’s been an interesting bit getting it together, I think it looks pretty decent and can go in so many different kinds of places.  It isn’t like it is solely Gorean or anything else.  If you live in a desert region even it can be used… just don’t use the grasses and included terrain piece.  The tent still looks great.

It will be on a 50% off countdown vendor for at least another 24 hours, maybe a bit longer so if you’re curious you should come down.

Also, just because I think it is funny and have to poke fun at myself a little bit here… I did a “Hump Day Easter Egg Hunt Whoopsie”.  Last week I put out 10 eggs for people to find with gifts from around the store mostly.  It was a great success and a lot of people had fun with it… well…. umm, you see.  *shuffles her foot across the floor*  I didn’t -actually- write down where I put the 10 eggs and the store is pretty big… and… and… well…. I couldn’t remember where I put two of them.  I figured I’d have no problem, I know my patterns and where I’d stash stuff right?  WRONG!  hahaha

Soooo we had an extra little bit of fun, while poking fun at myself I decided to give a 500L Gift Certificate to the first person who IM’d me with the right locations for both eggs.  I had a few people who sent one, and while only the first will get the 500L one… I’m going to be a stinker and give the ones who tried a 250L one, I just didn’t mention that in the announcement.  *grins*

You never know what I might throw in there so it’s better to give it a shot, you might end up with something anyhow!

The 7 Sins hunt is still going on, and this week another hunt started…. the Celebrating Gaia hunt.  I made something nice for that too.  At least I like it but then again most of the time I don’t put out or give away things that I don’t like.  I’m the sort that can’t put something out there if I’m not at least somewhat happy with it.  I’ll always be the most critical of my work of course but you know how it goes right?

Anyhow… I think that’s enough rambling for one morning.  I’ll talk to you soon!

The green is coming back, misty mornings still with a bite as the days get warmer and warmer… the earth awakening under suns bright rays.  This week we’re relaxing… Taking a few moments to sit around the cool water as it ripples sedately a fishing rod in one hand.

Over the winter I released an ice fishing pond… with the changing seasons it only seems logical that I should revamp and redo the ice fishing for warmer weather.  The set is really nice looking.  Added along the edges are cattails, and the snow has shifted to softly rolling hills of grass.  I think I like this one better even than the last.  The pond has room for four people to sit at once, a couple different fishing animations… and a bucket of fish for your catch.

I hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Bass fishermen watch Monday night football, drink beer, drive pickup trucks and prefer noisy women with big breasts.  Trout fishermen watch MacNeil-Lehrer, drink white wine, drive foreign cars with passenger-side air bags and hardly think about women at all.  This last characteristic may have something to do with the fact that trout fishermen spend most of the time immersed up to the thighs in ice-cold water.     ~Author Unknown

There has been A LOT released at the store but I haven’t been keeping up with the blog.  New clothing lines… a new knit kirtle set.  I know it’s late in the year for it but I do like them and figured it was best to release it rather than leave it sitting in my inventory.

Also a set of prim silks, called Taunt, they’re recolorable so you only have to buy the one set and then you can have them look however you want.  They’re draped with tons of silver jewelry too.

There’s been an herb garden, a new peeling potatoes/suls chore… and then today I released the Forest Meadow set.

I’ll add some pics real soon.
