BUNDLING UP AT HOME

I just moved into this new home on a snowy hilltop and I. ADORE. IT. This new wood-and-stone beauty by Trompe Loeil is all beauty and practicality. These days you can find small properties with higher prim counts, so I love that my new home has three levels to take advantage of the vertical space, but still feels comfortably roomy.


I'm not close to finished decorating, but just starting to make myself at home with sweet treats and holiday decorations, a mix of old and new. Hmm. Now where did I put that big rug?

Love,
Serene

GINGERBREAD LADY

I kind of missed last Christmas. Last year a little before Christmas my Dad passed away and months just went by hazy. After all this time I'm trying to get back to enjoying some of the things I used to. So here I am playing around with my old toys. 



Back to dressing up this virtual doll occasionally. Digging into my closet I found some things that I picked up last year before Christmas that I never got around to blogging, like this apron and boots.

TWINKLE

I ran off to the circus Arcade today and it was fabulous fun!! Doe has this hair with twinkle lights, and the matching necklace is a free gift under the tree. I managed to collect all but one of Santa's reindeer by Schadenfreude. If you have an extra Dasher I would love to buy him from you! I have some cute little dogs in sweaters to show you too. Get in as soon as you can and have fun trading. This year there are two mirror sims instead of cam shopping, to make it easier on us. Happy Holidays!

HOME SWEET HOME

Is there anything else as beautiful as enormous piles of fall leaves?? I put out a little house and my old favorite Halloween things, and added Half Deer's new Fairylight Balloons, and a few of the sweet Jack-o-Lanterns that you can hunt for free over at the Happy Mood sim.

Love,
Serene

FIRE

I finally changed out of my old stinky pajamas after nine months. I can't believe I was away for that long but unwilling to miss Halloween.  I needed a shower and a new hairdo real bad. It wasn't pretty.



Catching up on bento heads, hands, and animated meshes. Needed a new computer for all that. I love the newer mesh heads and spent a long time trying to get my new head to look like my old eccentric one. The facial animations are so much better. And can I say how much I ADORE all the lipstick options? (Can y'all remember back in the old days when having lipstick meant you had to buy skin fat-packs ??)



I missed you all! :)
