Roawenwood: Design & Craft

Ahhh SL has been so much fun the past day or two… they’re doing some updates and such so things have been acting up.  I’ve got more “omg help me!” requests today than I have in a long time.  *laughs*

Yesterday was the Hump Day Happenin fun stuff… I didn’t write up anything because it came into being so very late in the day but I have some discounted items at the group nets around the landing area.

Five different chores marked down at more than 50% off, the Fireside Couples Rug is at half off, and then I put out an outfit marked down more than 50% off too.  I’m not givin it away though, if you want to see you have to at least take a trip down to the store.  haha

I kept it short and sweet yesterday…. Discounts will run through tomorrow 4/30 at least but I could end up extending it if I feel like it since last night and a lot of today was just SL borky funness!

Have a great day and I hope your week is shaping up to an even better 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!

This week I’ve had a really big project going on along with some other things so I’ve been soooo busy that I didn’t get the Hump Day offer for this week out till a little bit late.

This week I’m revamping an oldie, one of my very first Hump Day deals… everything on the New Arrivals palettes are at 50% off until sometime Feb. 19th.  At some point that day I’ll raise the prices back up to their normal ones.

This is quite a bit of stuff because I haven’t cleaned off them off in a bit, and keep adding new things.  This goes for the babydoll camisks, the hair wreathes, the old socks, fishing boat, fishing chair, dockside chair, both basket weaving things, the entire soap making collection and then the new furred bed that was just released.

EVERYTHING on the New Arrivals palettes are 50% for the next couple of days so if you want you should take a peek.

Much love and Happy Hump Day!

Ack, I know!  I didn’t update the blog much this week.  I’ve been struggling with grid issues and things so much that I just didn’t get myself around to here till now.

Wednesday was a serious hump day.  It felt like it was never going to end and the problems just kept mounting.  SL was having fits.  Couldn’t build, open my notecards or scripts, could do anything really for quite awhile so I didn’t get to do the event that I had planned for this week.  However, since I am ever the optimist, I did do another secret sale/refund.  This time though you can get any TWO items in my store for 50% off. It’s like the other sale… purchase your items, send me a NC with the transaction history and I’ll send you a 50% refund of your purchase price. Update list members are given first notice about sales and discounts so if you want to be kept up to date you should click on the subscribe button at the landing zone at Roawenwood.

You can take advantage of this with any purchases made until Feb. 13th right before midnight and we switch over to Valentines day.  This way you can get a lil something for yourself, and something for a friend.

I’ve had quite a few releases that weren’t really announced on the blog, as well as a couple not even put through my update list.  I’ve been working on a fishing set series, with more to come.  The first was the Roawenwood Fishing Dinghy and then there was the Dockside Fishing Chair… this was a request actually from a customer.  She loved the boat but wanted something for her deck, and voila there you have it.  I already was going to do something similar but it was a good kick in the backside to get me moving.  More to come with this series very soon.

I have a few little Valentines goodies at the landing zone.  Some adorable lil bunnies, candy, baskets, that kind of thing.  Last minute gift ideas.

I’m working on a new outfit, still trying to get the clothing layers the way I like and I’m trying to decide how flamboyant to make it.  It’s a little different than previous releases so I hope ya’ll like it when it comes out.

I have a few new ideas rolling around in my brain… but that’s normal.

Happy Friday everyone, I hope this weekend goes wonderfully for you!

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.
