I almost typed - Oops I did it again... But I stopped myself.

I just finished another part of the Odette Library Collection.  What every good library needs - bookcases.  Now, I can texture most things in a matter of moments.  I can decorate a home in an hour.  For some unknown reason it took me almost 10 hours to put books in a bookcase.  Who takes 10 flipping hours to figure out the layout of a bookcase... apparently I do.  But all that - um, does this look better here or here - is to your benefit cause they are beautiful. If you can't tell I am feeling a bit gushy about this - well I am.  Often when I am creating furniture I have at least twelve melt downs == ask Ichigo (my awesome CSR who I will be introducing later today in a blog entry)  For some reason I can build a house in about four hours.  Create textures and a feel for it in two more.  So six hours to finished home.  But it takes me almost a week to do one table.  I don't know why but it has always been the case when I am making home furnishings.  Probably comes down to being a raving perfectionist.

Ok, to the cool stuff about these bookcases.  I hate selling stuff that isn't interesting or cool.  Cause well, I like stuff that does stuff.  This bookcase is no exception.  If you touch the fifth book in on the shelf with the three frames -- you can receive a book from the full bookcase.  Currently you only get Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - but you can add your own books, diary entries, porn, whatever your little heart desires.  Plus, you can lock it up so no one can access your weird stuff you stored inside.  Sometimes I even impress myself :P

Ok, so that is about it.  I am going to get off my bum and put all of my back log - radios, desks, and now bookcases on marketplace sometime today.  But all of these things and more are now available in the store!

It's Arrived! Finally finished my Odette Desk Set

When I first started to build in Second Life - what seems like eons ago.  I started by building furniture.  But for various reasons I stopped.  When I began Sanctuaire - I had a sinking feeling that I would fall back into making furnishings for the home.  Probably because I had a billion and one ideas on how to finish my builds.

So, I did it.  I created a desk set that fit my personality.  I named it Odette - and soon will also have a bookcase to match it.  Cause I love a good bookcase.  So here is the desk.  Stop into the store to see it.  I will have it up on market along with all of the radios - today sometime.

Oh, and on a sadder note, I had to close my second location due to it being dead.  I didn't see the point in spending additional linden that could be used in making more stuff.

Anyway here are a bunch of pictures of the desk, in the usual 10 glorious colors and wood tones -- all for 17 prims!

New Build - Catskill Cottage

I normally build a house in under a week.  Then take two days arguing with myself about how to do the pictures - because pictures are sooooo not my thing.  This time however the build took eons for me - almost two weeks.  Granted a lot of stuff has been going on.  I have been in my first ever hunt and it is going really well.  I am getting a lot of positive responses back and learning that I am not falling flat on my kiester.  Which honestly is a relief.  Anyway, I finally got the house done and I named it Catskills.

This build is based off a build that my friend Serra gave me.  She said - hey why don't you build this.  So I did.  Or I did my version of it.  The build is exactly double the actual size of the house in rl because for some reason the people of Second Life love being amazons.  So, the build is still small, but not as small as it could be.

It has a sleeping loft - cause I love lofts.  It also has screen doors and hinges and knobs and radiator and all those little details that make my heart do cartwheels.  All for under 85 prims (it is 84 prims).

I hope you love it as much as I loved creating it!
