B Is For Baiastice

1 B is for Baiastice

Since today is the letter B in the inventory challenge, I snuck in a peek at the back porch of the Roxie beach house here. I have turned it into a working area, complete with laundry facilities. It is a nice, secluded spot where I can do my chores in my knickers. However, B is also for bored – I hate ironing! Of course, it would probably help if I plugged the iron in…or if the iron actually had a plug!

No, really, B is for Baiastice, and the top I’m wearing is available at The Dressing Room Fusion this round.

It’s not too late to join the Inventory Alphabet Challenge – you can catch up today, or as I suggested to my buddy, Wendz, do an Alphaweek post. That’s not in the official rules, but hey, I’m all about improvising!

I will be stopping by later today in world to post up my inventory numbers on the Inventory Alphabet Gameboard. Hopefully I can laugh at a few people who have a bigger closet than I do 😉

A Is For Asteria Creations

1 A is for Asteria Creations

Vanessa Blaylock (having lost a couple of e’s from her name) is at it again. She has come up with a great daily challenge for bloggers! Starting on April 1, we are to share an item from our inventory daily…alphabetically. Since we are dealing with the English alphabet that means this is a 26-day challenge. I have no doubt I can complete this one without having to buy a single item. In fact, I’m going to try to make that my personal goal. I’m not saying I won’t buy anything during the next 26 days (heaven forbid!). I just won’t buy anything specifically for this challenge.

You can read more in detail about the challenge over at irez.me. I am both daunted and excited about this challenge. It means I must plan ahead and make sure I blog daily. In fact, I went ahead and shot the photo for my “B” post right after my “A” so I have one in hand.

But for today, it’s all about “A” and that stands for Asteria Creations. I picked up this jumpsuit at Limited Bazaar on Sunday, so it qualifies as not being purchased just for this challenge. The fact that it was sitting in my “Recent” tab just made it easier for me to find 😉 And I guess this can be a double A day – my hair is from Analog Dog!

Join in, if you would like. Or just follow along with me as I learn my A-B-C’s.

The Spring Season Challenge: Butterfly Effect

Image PeepSideshow Darkward12 Comments

1 Spring Challenge Blur 1024

Once again, I find myself doing an nonseasonal challenge. While I was feeling springy/summery at the beginning of the antipodean autumn, I am still feeling that way now. Perhaps it is because it has been rather warm so far this autumn with quite a lot of rain. Whatever the reason, I am not in the mood to revolt this time around and start up an opposite-season challenge of my own 😉 Instead, I will just play along happily with Miss Berry.

Here is what she has asked us to do for this challenge:

Meme Instructions: Share a spring-themed picture and/or answer the following questions about the season. Don’t forget to leave a link to your post in the comments (of this post) and share your picture in the Blog Memes Flickr Group.

1. What is the spring season like where you live? – Living on the east coast of Australia, we don’t have harsh winters. So spring really kind of creeps up on us. It gradually warms throughout the day and begins to be a bit warmer at night. We have rain, but then we do during all seasons (not so much summer, except for thunderstorms). Since we don’t have deciduous trees and we have native plants that bloom all year around the biggest difference is the type of flowers that blossom.

2. What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think of spring? – Butterflies, tulips, daffodils – in short, colour! I grew up in the U.S. midwest, so when I think of spring, I think of that transformation from brown grass, bare trees and snow to a green lawn, budding branches and flowers bursting with colour. A close second to the bright colours, though, is the warmth of the sun on my face.

3. Which spring-themed sim in Second Life is your favorite at the moment? – There are so many sims now that change with every season that I love, but the one that stays springy all year around is Wanderstill, Ode, where I shot this picture. It not only doesn’t change for the seasons, it has remained very much as it is now for several years. That is what makes it such a familiar favourite of mine.

While I am not a fantasy-type girl, the butterflies of spring were the inspiration for my photo. I’m not a wings person, either (not counting my Red Wings 😉 ) but these from VERO MODERO are just stunning. They may be meant to be angel wings, but for me, they completed my butterfly effect.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:
