WEEDING DAY

What, you were expecting a fluffy white dress? No, this is really weeding day. Anything with thorns has got to go. But the sweet wildflowers are staying. I planted these purples I found at the Forest Feast booth at the Expo. The Expo has a few stores that specialize in outdoor landscaping supplies rather than the ubiquitous home furnishings.



My helper is a talented gardener. (Dwarfins are interactive breedables, but this is an Avatar that is their Expo Hunt prize.) But it's a warm day, and after work there is nothing like cool water. The Atelier Visconti fountain has several playful animations for singles, and some couples animations I haven't tried yet. :D

SQUEEE!

This is a squeak-worthy snapshot of the Awesome Breed Creations booth at the Home and Garden expo! ABC horses are not only breedable, but also raceable, and coming soon there will be Jousting and Quests! I have been breeding their Clydesdales and Drum horses for about five months now, and love the whole knight-in-armor fantasy genre, so you know I'll be going to the jousting tournaments!

I'm prejudiced; I love my herd so much that I don't have prims to spare for a house these days. Every year the folks at ABC have a couple of charity benefit horses so let's see the latest at the Expo:



The two breedables sims are having a treasure hunt, go see the pirate and start the hunt for fun gifts from all the breedables booths. I shouldn't give too much away Shhhh  XD

MEET ANGELUS

Clementine finally gave birth to her foal, who turned out to be a lovely little white Percheron. So exciting!! ... I named him Angelus. For the next three days his mother will be nursing him to the exclusion of all other interests to get him off to a good start in life. I thought maybe I'd better get back to the ABC store and pick up some more hay and another salt lick; obviously the more horses you have, the faster the food and supplies are used.



What's this?



As I was in the supply shop, I noticed Iron Gryphon, a gorgeous Drum stallion for sale at a ridiculously low price. I'm especially loving the braided tail and hoping it breeds true. They are all so beautiful!

MEET MISTER DARCY

... Today I am a Matchmaker. (Call me Miss Woodhouse.)



Clementine is finally old enough to be formally introduced to her prospective mate. Meet Mister Darcy. From the look in her eye, Love at First Sight ... and she is beginning to become accustomed to his presence.



Clementine and Mister Darcy are breedable Starter Horses from Awesome Breed Creations, from their shop at the Christmas Expo. Starter Horses appear to be simply ordinary bay horses, but have hidden recessive traits that can appear in their children. Their offspring will be eligible for breeding, or for training to Race. I can't wait to see the babies!

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

Actually, I would never have dared ask Santa for a Horse for Christmas! But here she is. I've called her Clementine. My jaw dropped when I placed her next to my skating pond. You should know that she is a Breedable horse from Awesome Breed Creations and she was a free gift from their shop at the Christmas Expo.

BUT you know there is a catch? Every shop in the Expo has a gift giver, but when you touch it, Santa decides whether you were naughty or nice this year. Most of us are naughty some of the time, so you might get a lump of coal or aomething like that. But if Santa decides you were very good, you can get something very very NICE! Like Clementine.

Did you notice that there are two gifts in the picture? The Amaretto Breedables shop Santa said "naughty" and treated me to a steaming pile of horse poo. But if you get the poo, you can go back two hours later and maybe Santa will change his mind :P

I think it's refreshing that this Christmas Expo is less focused on just fashion and has many more creative gifting ideas for your friends and the people you love. The breedables category this year includes dogs and cats, bunnies, horses, creatures-not-possible-in-real-life, plants and even SHOES! Breedable shoes? Who knew? You need to go see all this stuff to believe it!
