Small Pleasures

Beware of lazy cat!

What does Lludmila keep in her shed?


L2 Studio put out a new house, which Lludmila had to go see because she's addicted to houses and one of her favorites came from there. The latest creation is usually set out a short ways from the shop, all kitted out with furnishings to inspire the buyer. Lludmila didn't stay long looking at the Padre Island house because there was a couple on the bed sexting each other ... in chat and not IM. Sheesh.

Anyway, while trying to escape from an embarrassing situation, Lludmila saw an open storage locker-type thing. Wondering if it were part of the house and if the doors worked, she clicked on it. It's a free broom cupboard! You can bet she "bought" the freebie and took it home to stick on the outside of her current house as a garden tool shed!

On the side of the shop (near where you rez) there are some cute signs that are freebies as well. Lludmila chose the "Danger: Beware of Killer Cat" to go with her new static cat feature (that came from the Dreamland Designs fireplace collection). The cat looks just like our RL cat, Collage. The only thing you need to beware of Collage is to be sure to be out of her way when she tries to run away from you. A truly scaredy cat.

The many sleeping positions of Collage.
OMG! Just like the static cat! And about as much movement!
I have to keep cat beds at the desk to keep them from sleeping
on the scanner/printer and breaking it like the last one.

Weekend Specials

Hexagonal Gazebo with a pool.
 Lludmila loves the 60L Weekends.  They come with a notecard that lists not only the landmarks, but also a picture of what they're offering for this minimal amount.  It's like catalog shopping.  You don't even have to leave your sim or curtail your activities.  You can click and set aside the pictures of things you consider testing out later and then just zip in, and zip out again.  Lludmila always ends up wandering around looking at other things in hopes they will be only 60L next week.  We're not as interested in clothing as we were - so now Lludmila concentrates on furnishings, buildings, and props.  She couldn't believe that this Hexagonal Gazebo (weighing in at 50 prims as seen in this photo, but comes with a couple of accessories) at Meta-Meca Dimensions Shop was only 60L!  It comes with stairs, the deck with the umbrella, and a small pool.  There are 12 sits on a menu.  It's a good deal.

Grandma's Old Potting Shed.
 Zombies who live in glass houses - only pay 60L for them.  This one is at Sher's Cottage Gardens.  It was much bigger than I expected.  Now all we need to do is fill it with flowers and a trowel and some garden furniture.  Oh, wait a minute - it takes up 37 prims.  [Checks and finds she's already 9 prims over her limit.]

Climb My Truck tree deck with many sits and anims.
 Our new favorite place is Michigans Shack - where the small sailboat came from.  There are usually three items out at the 60L Weekend price and this week we went for the Climb My Trunk tree deck (25 prims) with some menu-driven sits and their broad assortment of naughty anims for any and all tastes (but you don't have to use them, you know).  And while you're checking out the tree deck, look around for the black rose:

When the Roses Turn Black hunt gift - End of Winter tree.
Kathy was all drow'd up for last night's fairy and elf fantasy, so this dark and brooding End of Winter tree was right up her alley.  Ooo, nice photo in the background there!  It's only 15 prims (not to mention my favorite color: free!) and fits nicely in Lludmila's skybox ... for when she feels dark and broody.  It comes with the bare tree, the log, the dormant grass, and a variety of poses.
