"There is no painting without drawing and there is no shape without line ... in the end all images can be reduced to lines.”

"Kittens, and skeletons, and pumpkins with vines just like strings, these are a few of my favorite things! It’s true, I made up my own lyrics to that song, but the sentiment is true. I love this time of year. For this post I’ll tell you about this cute group gift jumper by ChicModa, and how to get these adorable kittens (with the pose) by Fashiowl absolutely free."

"“Turn on the lights,
And hide from sight,
As we come trick or treating,
Throughout the night.
Is that scratching?
Or was that wind?
Did you see the movement?
I think it grinned. —"

"If you have ever been lucky enough to travel through the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Fall, then you know how glorious the colors and sights can be. Should I ever win the lottery, my dream would be to settle down in the Blue Ridge with a small farm and live out my days in a cozy Scandinavian cottage. This post brings to life what that dream might look like. I hope you enjoy"

As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may”

"So after going all ghoulish last night, I needed to get back to my girly ways tonight.

Between what I went through with Dozer a few weeks ago and a couple of people I know who are struggling as their pets going through some difficult health issues, I have been thinking a lot about how important or pets are to us.  Thankfully, this time the thoughts aren’t in some panicked spell like they were a few weeks ago for me."

"The huntsman dreamed he had a dream,
of endless Summer skies,
of silver wings, and faerie rings,
of a queen with opal eyes."

"I sometimes forget that Second Life is a scientific laboratory for the computer scientist. The 3D world that I take for granted is the product of many, many talented programmers and mathematicians. I could program in C and FORTRAN but object oriented, windows-based programming always eluded me, so I am most impressed with the virtual world of Second Life."

"Exploration lies deep within our human DNA, no matter what we love to explore even if we aren’t aware that we’re doing it. I’ll be honest today was a somewhat boring day for me in my reality and I thought I’d jump into Second Life and do a little bit of exploring. During my travels, I came across a Russian sim by the name “Russian Province COBKOBO/SOVKOVO”. I felt like exploring something that at some point could also be seen in real life, so I used the destinations button on the left-hand side of my firestorm viewer and went to the “international” tab to begin. Heads up there are a lot of Brazil areas to visit recently. Since this wasn’t a Brazilian area, I chose it not that I have anything against Brazil there are just so many areas made to replicate it and when you’ve been to one you’ve been to them all. I can’t wait to jump right in and tell you all about my experience in the Russian Province COBKOBO/SOVKOVO!"

"Fall is the time of year for chilly mornings, crunchy leaves, pumpkins and apple cider. Being from California this also means that chilly mornings quickly turn in to hot afternoons, leaving one to wonder if mother nature is going through menopause, and while you can’t throw a rock around here without hitting a pumpkin spice latte, the leaves are still pretty much green and clinging stubbornly to the branches. By the time we get actual fall most of the rest of the country is covered in snow."

"This is the best time of the year, the best weather, the best colours, the best clothes, the best everything.  Walking on the beach is better, parks are prettier. SL comes alive more than any other stage. Creative juices flow more. I take way to much time walking around sims and exploring and seem to blog less because of it. Who cares, I am having fun!"

"I have been  trying to work at doing more decor, it doesn't come naturally to me. I am one of those people who has the kitchen cupboards all in order, straight lines and labels facing out. I like the sounds on the TV to be done in even numbers. When I am feeling well everything sits in its place, when disorder is around me it is a sign I am struggling. So to be feeling ok today but still have to be random with SL things feels odd. I enjoyed the challenge though, just need to work at getting better at this - going to look at some flickr feeds and be inspired"

"The Fae came down the mountain,
her heart soft summer rain,
for she had fallen Fae in love,
with a huntsman on the plain.

The Fae came down the mountain,
her song soft as a sigh,
and sang him deep, to faerie sleep,
with a Fae soft lullaby.

"A month ago I wrote a post called Get Baked – A Quick Beginners’ Guide to Using Bakes on Mesh. In the light of the questions I’ve seen since Bakes on Mesh (BOM) came to more residents’ attention, I’ve realised that I need to strip that post way back: right to the absolute basics, in fact. So here—in a loving pastiche of the ‘Dummies Guide’ books—is Bakes on Mesh for Dummies."
