One garden down! One garden up!

We been thinking and considering more gardens in our town. It took some time because we had a great little forest and we didn't wanted to remove it. But today we took a closer look at it. Shye already had picked a rooftop for it and we first started to just place prims and try out different ideas. We had a lot of ideas but some just didn't worked or didn't worked with other ideas. In the end we managed to make something out of it. We bought a little stream, seeing we both can't make sculpties and the water looks really nice. And while we where there we also got a little pond.

So after we had the first drawing and the first build (second picture) we went to dismantle to forest in the sky to get the needed resources. It was a shame to do it but the forest was so far away from the town it didn't make part of it. Now we got a garden in the middle.. or rather at the top of the city.

The last picture shows the end result for now. You can not see everything. Most flowers and plants don't really show, a like other small stuff. There are a few nice cuddles and seats, it became an excellent place to relax and hang with a friend.

We hope you all will enjoy it as much we do.

Two Years Together

Tonight marked two years since Alysa and I partnered in Second Life. That's an eternity in SL! And it has been a great two years. Of course, like any "couple" we have had our down moments, but they are always cast aside with the realization of what awesome virtual friends we are.

A little over two years ago, on New Years Eve, we spent a long night together in Second Life. First, seeing a live music show with Sojurn Rossini, then we _______, and then we rang in her new year, and then we ______, and then we rang in my new year... I'll leave you to fill in the blanks. It was the most memorable time I have had in Second Life, before or since. For me, it was the night that led to our partnership less than a week later.

So, when I saw that Sojurn Rossini was playing in SL on our "anniversary", I thought it was perfect! Except..... he canceled.

So we ended up some other place, listening to some other performer. We danced, and chatted, and listened to music. It wasn't what I planned, but it was a nice evening with my partner.

After two years, I still love you, Alysa. Thanks for being here for me!

The Scrap Hut!

The Scrap Hut is a great little shop at Cataclysm. The owner is Darcy Foxtrot and besides making clothing she also makes cool items like frames you can wear in Second Life so you can make a snapshot with a frame around you! Little bags and she can make such awesome pictures which she makes very special and one of a kind. That is something you have to see for yourself. I am not sure if she still makes though as she has changed her shop recently, but you can find a LM giver to her main store. So check it out!
