Roawenwood: Design & Craft

Towards the end of last week I released the kirtle/dress outfit called Ilsa…. this week you’re going to get to meet Isolda.

Done in 4 color combinations, 3 of them a regular sale type item and the fourth is going to be a part of the Twisted Krissmuss stuff I have out.  Softer, flowing, on the delicate side and wintery these come with a bra top, panties, chest dangle, armbands, bracelets, skirts, and a tattoo to wind down over the left side of the body.

I whipped together the cutest little thing.  Now a lot of people have their own versions of something like this so you can’t blame me right??  It’s just so cute though!

Santa’s lil Helper, complete with boots and backpack stuffed full of everything you need!  Grandma’s cookies recipe book, tree, ornaments, and the cutest lil guy sitting on top among other things.  Take a peek!  This one is marked at only 100L as part of the Twisted Krissmuss event.

HUNTS!!  The POE hunt is still going, along with the other two that I’m in (Candy Cane 2, and the Present/Coal) BUT a new one started just today!!

The Gothmas by Gaslight Hunt, so there’s a silver bell hanging around my store just waiting for you to find it if you feel so inclined to try your hand at it.  I almost feel naked, only have one hunt coming up in January.  Put in apps to a couple around Feb but not sure if I’ve got any scheduled.  Hmm, suppose if I don’t then I -could- always maybe plan on doing a hunt here at the sim just for Roawenwood.  Think that is a good idea?

As part of the holiday season I’m also leaving a small gift for all of you.  A Yule log for those inclined to pick one up…. I was doing the Wheel of the Year hunts but I don’t think they did one for Yule, that doesn’t mean I didn’t feel like leaving a gift.  It’s down near the Twisted Krissmuss display at the base of the one tree.

I’ve been getting a lot done and will have more this weekend I think.  Till then!

It’s been way too long since I updated this.  So much going on in and around the store.  I’m a part of a few hunts… the Peace on Earth hunt, Candy Cane 2, and the Present/Coal hunt.  Next week there’s another hunt starting anddddddddddd I’m a part of Twisted Krissmuss.

All of these events are fun for me to do.  Twisted Krissmuss is a little different than a hunt though, it’s a group of vendors who have all decided to help create affordable gifts and holiday items.  Each vendor agrees to make new items and mark them for only 100L.  The items have to be of the same level of quality of their other merchandise as well.  From what I’ve heard there’s over 200 merchants involved this year which makes for one hell of a shopping circuit!

The couple of things I have out so far (this goes through the end of the month) is Mr. Chilly and a really sweet fireplace that has 3 different couples sets in it to cuddle up during the holidays.

I made up this huge fireplace for larger rooms and liked it but I almost think I like this one a bit better.  So into the display it goes, and only 100L through the event or until I get devious and change it out maybe.  I do want to add more items to the kiosk I think, at least one more.  Of course that could always change, I get caught up or busy a lot so it can be difficult to get things done or remember.  *laughs* 

I’m working on getting more holiday gear out, along with the inevitable snowfall that happens on my sims while we’re in the midst of some of the winter months.  I don’t make ya’ll deal with winter for as long as I do in real life… but it’s good for ya.  End up craving hot chocolate and warm fireplaces.  hehe  There has been A LOT of new things filtering in.  Holiday trees (REALLY do like these this year), decorations, snow man building and tons.  It’s not like I ever do anything half way to begin with it seems like.  I’m not sure why that happens except that I just don’t like to sit still a whole lot.  Lately I’ve been working on the clothing or accessories a bit more too.  Recently released some flats, along with some really cute socks and fingerless gloves.  They seem to be liked well enough… I also released a set of soft leather patched boots.  They’re decent I think, my purpose was to have something a little different and usable by people who need something other than a formal shoe. There’s something like 9 different kinds, I think…. I can’t quite remember but there’s a lot!

So I’ve babbled on into a post, I have another post that I’m setting aside because I just released a kirtle today which deserves its own lil space!

Yesterday and today have been rather hellacious for me in SL, tp’s been messing up, rolling restarts causing havoc… all sorts of lovely fun that we call our second life.  Yay right?

In the midst of all of this I did get a few things done… so here we go!

·!¦[·      ROAWENWOOD 4YR. OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN THAT LONG SECRET SALE      ·]¦!·

This week and through the weekend I’m extending a sale to all of you lovely folks and anyone you tell.  Now you know my place is pretty freekin big.  I can’t likely go and re-price everything… and well, for those who want to take advantage they can, for other people well… sshh, I won’t tell if you don’t.

Until 11/7  (That’s three whole days — Nov. 4th, 5th, and 6th until the clock turns over at midnight to the 7th) any transactions made at my main store on the Five Blades sim, or the one next door on the Sear sim @ Splinter’d can get a whopping 50% refund.  ANY item…. No matter the sticker price, I’ll give you 50% off.  How many can you get at 50% off?

Well…. now….. I suppose this kind of thing doesn’t come around very often… 4 yrs is a really long time… ok, I’ll do it!  You can have 50% refunds on any number of purchases.  I won’t put a strict limit on it, but only for the next few days and hopefully for your sake I won’t regain my senses before then.     There are a few guidelines however.

TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE 50% OFF REFUND YOU MUST DO THE NEXT STEPS!!

✔  Make your purchases.
✔  Make me a copy of your transaction history/record from the SL website on a notecard.
✔  Send the notecard to me named something along the lines of:  Really? Seriously? 4yr. Secret Sale/(avatar name here) 7/4/10
✔  MAKE SURE YOU RENAME IT!  Anything named New Notecard tends to get discarded or lost and you don’t want that do you?  I cannot be responsible for mis-titled nc’s being lost.

I’ll get all refunds back to people as soon as I am able barring problems with SL, internet and you know the drill.  Generally within 24 hours.

·!¦[·      CUSTOMER'S CHOICE NEWNESS:  ROUGHENED NURSERY UPDATES!      ·]¦!·

I had a few customer requests this week… one of them I wasn’t able to get to because of all the SL issues I’ve been umm, enjoying… over the last few days unfortunately but this one I was able to.  I enjoy at times giving back to or working with folks, I can’t always do what someone hopes for but there are times I try.

I was approached about an addon for the nursery set I made awhile back… a playpen.  Nothing fancy, in fact since it is part of this set it is decidely not fancy however I said I would and so… I have but of course I didn’t _just_ do a playpen, I made a couple other things as additions.

One is a highchair… embedded within the high chair are two different animations so you can care for you little one.  A feeding animation, and a burping the baby animation.  Right click and sit to use… when you choose the feeding anim a bowl and spoon are given to you that you can wear.  �

The other addition is a second crib, a different version… the other is a small little thing, this one is a ‘normal’ sized crib but I went ahead and added some goodness to it.  Embedded with a menu and adjustable positioning there are two couples cuddle sets so you can dote over the crib and enhance your role-play as a proud mama or papa. 

·!¦[·      UPDATED SLAVE BEDS, MM BOARDS & MINI MANIA @  Splinter'd   ·]¦!·

I have a lot going on that will be put out in here but this week I did an update.  The slave beds that I did… I was looking at them and realized they had some tired old animations in them that I had used before…. well NO LONGER!  I have some -BRAND NEW- stuff that I like a lot better, they’re in the slave house from last week too… but NOW the slave beds have not 7 but 13 different animations in there!  Crying, begging, shy, pouting, waiting around, kneeling, other different kneels and opportunity for role-play or just hanging around.

MM BOARD has been put up and another MINI MANIA board too, so now there’s two of those.  I plan on adding other things to the MM board as I get to it so they cycle through giving different prizes.

Remember this stuff is @ the Splinter’d section next door.

As far as other news…. a lot of the hunts I was a part of ended except for the Haunted Forest one, I have a few in December.  This month I’m focusing on ya’ll and my place catching up some I hope.  I’ll probably switch out the other boards, lucky chairs and what have you through the month as well.

I hope you are having an awesome week, take care and talk to you soon!

Woot!  I was able to get into this weeks 25L round.  It’s been tough even with a little bit of warning of when reservations are going to be I keep missing them.  Hard to catch the right time and I swear… scouts honor the last time I actually got into the round… it was almost entirely full ‘cept for a couple in the time it took me to get the notice reservations were open, try to tp there, crash, log back in and go to the spot.  *laughs*  All of maybe 10 minutes?  15 tops…. sooooo ya, I’m not getting into the rounds so well.

Sooooooo I put out something that I don’t have in my store even…. an animated tea tray with the tower pose.  It runs through the kneel, and then sits with the tray propped on your hands.  It’s not too bad, though I’d probably mess with it a wee bit more for an actual release it looks good.  Silver tray and gives out cups of tea to drink on click.

I also marked down the Skulls n Denim outfit.  Figured for the time of year why not… and I like that one even if not everyone does.

So for today only you can get these wonderful items for just 25L.

I’ll have more tomorrow, it is after all Hump Day.  I’m trying to decide when to put out more of my Halloween/Autumn type stuff.  Don’t want to too early, cuz yanno… well… you just don’t, but don’t want to wait TOO long either.  Plus plus…. it’s just well……… FUN!

Talk to you all soon.

This week I was feeling a little naughty, I love all things strappy and fun when it comes to outfits and I just couldn’t resist passing that along to you guys…. so we’re getting belted!  Don’t panic, don’t panic… not -that- kind of belt… none of that chastity stuff round here… nope, this is a sexy impish lil outfit where you’ve taken yours (or your Master’s, personally I like this scenario) belts and snuggly fit them around those oh so luscious curves.

The outfit has 4 different tops, though it is technically 6 if you count all that is included.  Two camisk like tops with fabric sweeping along the breast and down low on the hips but not too low.  Then one version has belts across both breasts making it sorta of modest… and then one where one of the breasts is exposed.  Then there are two with just the belts, and I also included the belts on shirt layers so you can mix it up with other clothes too.  I’ve been wearing it with jeans and all sorts of things.  It’s quite fun.

Through Saturday (7/31) the outfits are going to be at a 50% discount.  I often do this with new releases so the early birds out there can get a great deal.  It comes in 6 different colors; black, blue, cream, green, purple and red…. there is as an extra bit of fun, and a bonus a special pretty pink version in the Lucky Chairs that WILL NOT be offered for sale in the store.  Mhmmm, an exclusive color just for the lucky chairs and won’t be released otherwise.  I’m still trying to decide if while it is in the chair if I should offer it for sale so ya’ll can get a sort of one of a kind thing w/out having to camp for it if you don’t want to.  Hmmmm… decisions decisions.  That’s almost worth a poll type question to my groupies lol

Anyhow, now that I am rambling on… This is a good one, I like it… hope you guys do too.
