A Monday Morning Meeting!

Monday morning, the start of the working week... It's time to get busy, but I HAVE JUST BOOKED ANOTHER TRIP TO SEE MY PARENTS AND I AM SO EXCITED... Sorry back to the working week, I work in retail but many people are heading back to the office and into their corportate lives... 
I'm glad that I don't have to, I have no desire to be in a boardroom hosting meetings that no one wants to be in...

The last time I did a presentation for anything was when I had to share the year plan for our store at the end of my management training course... At that time I felt so sick but that was mostly just nerves I guess... The people in the meeting knew SO MUCH more about things than I did, but that was kinda lucky really... I'd hate to be one of those people presenting a meeting to people that are scratching their heads or even taking the time to eat their lunch while I ramble on, just like the Opossums - from Aardvark at  that were so over it in Rudh's meeting today... 
All I can say is he'd better save me one of those Heart Sanwiches - from Junk Food - once I'm done with this meeting in this boring meeting in the Executive Loft - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis by the way...

Preparation Glam Up...

It's the eve of New Year's Eve and the Netherlands has gone into crazy mode, fireworks going off everywhere and my poor ol' puppy is already on the edge of panic mode due to the noise. We're not doing anything to celebrate this year, not in RL and I'll probably be vegging out with a good movie and some snacks instead of going to party... Rudh on the other hand is already starting to get all glammed up...

It's a little early but there's no point in waiting around until the last moment... Starting with sorting out the mop that is her hair, stuffing it with curlers and pinning it all up out the way... 
She's polished her nails, done properly slowly and carefully so that she doesn't make the usual mistake of smudging the gorgeous gold nail design - a gorgeous set of SERIAL Claws that are not a new release but are available in the mainstore at Normandy - and I'll find some great tutorials on how to do make-up properly as I'm TERRIBLE at it... Now I've got the nails done, and the hair and make-up are in progress, I just need to find something fabulous to wear...

Spells on Quills causes Mandrake Mischief!

August has begun, and there is still a few signs of the summer to come... At the moment it already feels like the Autumn has arrived, and that means we're one step closer to the best holiday of the year HALLOWEEN!! It's August, It's nearly Halloween... It's Augween!!! 
So pretty soon school will be starting up again, I always loved school but one of my favourite things that happened around this time of year was when Mum said "let's go shopping for school supplies"... It's not just regular school kids that are going back, the wizards of Hogwarts are needing to get their supplies... The Wizarding Faire has opened on Diagon Alley... There is magical shopping to be done...

In Diagon Alley, at the wand store Olivander's - yes I checked that it was correct with my Harry Potter obsessed sister and is actually a Sorcery Photo Stage from [piXit] - where the Wand Shelves - from Quills & Curiosities for Wizarding Faire - are made of walnut and stacked high with thousands of boxed wands in all different shapes, sizes and magics... The owner has popped off on a little vacation to visit a friend in need, and left an apprentice in charge who has taken it upon herself to enchant some of the Candy Quills - also from Quills & Curiosities - that are perfect for writing love notes... Admittedly the magic in the shop HAS caused a few little problems... Mandrakes running everywhere, its a Mandrake Mischief - thanks to the adorable new release from Aardvark, also available now at the Wizarding Faire - and there is chaos all around... 
On a side note, I have to show you these amazing earrings that I'm wearing. They are the Vision Earrings from Six Feet Under which are available now at Planet 29... They are amazing, and because my picture didn't show them off as clearly as I'd hoped I'm adding the ad below... Aren't they pretty?!

Picnics with the Bears

I'm home from work and I'm really, really, really tired and I don't feel like doing anything this evening, even though today's work day was pretty slow due to the heat... I'm thinking I'd like to curl up in bed and read a good book, perhaps something like an adorable fairytale... Perhaps I'll make some new friends and find myself invited to their summer soiree... 

My new friends happen to be a little famous... The are the teddies of the teddy bears picnic, they are also the inspiration for the uber cool carebears, these colorful teddies - from hive...

Buying Flours and Baking Cookies!

Sundays are often regarded by many as lazy days, I like to look at them as days when I can relax and rest and find some time to do my own favourite things to relax... Many times that involves things in SL whether that's taking pictures or shopping, reading a book or watching something random on the television. Although there is one thing that I don't ever really try my hand at, and that is baking... I can cook like a boss, but when it comes to making the sweet delicious stuff, I tend to burn it no matter what I try to do... I'd love to be able to bake a tray of cookies, I'd love to be able to be a cupcake queen... I wish I had that power... 

I mean who wouldn't love the idea of being able to say "I'm hungry, I'm going to whip up a batch of cookies", I wish I could do it, but maybe on the other side of things it's a good thing that I can't because even thinking about it makes me add on the calories... 
I want nothing more than a HUGE plate of freshly made cookies, hot out of the oven on a Cookie Tray - from Junk Food - that I'm holding onto with the coolest of Oven Mitts - also from Junk Food. Honestly things were bound to happen, I HAD to have cookies or make something sweet since the day after Valentines I'd been out and treated myself. I bought myself a LARGE Box of Flours - a past gift from Aardvark at the recently closed Valentine Shop & Hop - I done it singing the song by Miley Cyrus, dancing around the kitchen as I turned those flours into cookies and cakes and other delicious treats...

Wearing a Blanket on Laundry Day

I love going on holidays, and I love coming home and returning to my usual stuff - some stuff more than others - but one thing that I'm not keen on is the mountain of laundry that seems to fall out of my suitcase as I get home. I opened my case, I took out the most important thing, a Christmas Pudding made by my mum and then had to start loading the machine... Until that point I'd washed all my things I'd have nothing to wear... 

This time of year is a little too cold to be sitting around in my nudiepants, that's naked for people that don't speak Rudhese by the way, and I had to find a way to keep warm whilst all my clothes were getting cleaned. I got lucky in this case, I'd received the most wonderfully warm, soft, fluffy 'Wrap Me Up' blanket - from Ananas, available until December 23rd at Tannenbaum in 6 different fun colours - and sat on the floor to watch the awesome show in the spinning machine.

Packages to the Wrapping Station

As much as I love spending countless hours watching all sorts of different unboxing videos, I will also admit that I'm more than a little addicted to browsing through e-Bay and Etsy to find the perfect, random, pretty items as gifts for friends and family. I mean it's almost August and therefore I should be getting on with my Christmas shopping. I'm making something very special for a special someone that I need to send out super early!!!! 
I know it sounds silly, but I loveeeeeeeee the idea of having a wrapping station set up in my home.

I love giving gifts. Christmasses and Birthdays in my house see people getting very spoilt. I love to buy gifts for everyone, at Christmas I fill stockings for my family and love nothing more than watching them expose all of the surprises! 
Though one of my least favourite things is scrabbling around trying to wrap the gifts. I LOVE wrapping but would much rather have a table set up just for wrapping. If I had room and money I'd have a set up like this lol... Lots of wrappings, ribbons and labels - like the things from Second Spaces - I'd also have a special stash of packing 'peanuts' to make sure that I could make any Special Delivery - like the packaging from Krescendo.

Sweet Summery Sunday Crepes!

It's Sunday and a day of rest. I still have things that need to be done around the house, but I am taking things slow and easy and very restfully. I have a TERRIBLE cold that I am fighting like a crazy person and holding back from murdering my husband for sharing it with me. 
I'm going to be taking it easy when it comes to making food too, pancakes - although I might be calling it Crepes, just so it sounds more interesting... 

I whipped up a batch of pancake mix and made the delicious crepes on the griddle - from Second Spaces. I forgot how much fun it was to make pancakes. 
Then it came to toppings... There are so many different things that you can put on crepes, but today I decided to go with some Sweet Summery Crepes - from Cat-Noodle at Summerfest - with lots and lots of Ice cream - from vespertine - and even more oodles of cherries - from kotte. 
DELICIOUS!!!!

 I felt like doing something silly today and while going through the mountain of things I had ready to blog, what started as one idea, became a totally different idea. I love it when fluid ideas just come and roll to create something pretty!

"Yes Chef"

I LOVE BAKING... I'm not the best cake maker in the world but I love nothing better than fresh cake and the smells of it as it's cooking... 

Rudh used it as a chance to be a little creative and naughty in the kitchen... You never know where you will find some of her interesting toys, it's like anywhere you are in her house there are some of her special toys close at hand... Although today while she was baking, and making a mess in the kitchen, someone came in an caught her in the messy act... 

Looking up she can't help but give a cheeky grin... The Chef standing over her asking about her freshly baked cake, with a message iced onto the top of her heart shaped cake - from LEMME - she smiles coyly and says "Hello Chef"... That board in her hand, not much like the chopping boards in her kitchen, more like a paddle for a naughty little sous chef! 

The look in her eyes says "Abuse Me, Chef", and yes this pose from Extra was not actually meant for use in the kitchen, it worked out pretty well... and maybe if she's really lucky, she'll get to use some of her other favourite things in the kitchen!!!

Happy Birthday To ME!

Today is my 34th Birthday, and I know it sounds silly but it's one of the weirdest Birthday's I've ever had. Normally I'd have friends and family around - my parents had planned a visit to see me in the Holland - but that cannot happen due to the Corona Virus, so everything feels so quiet, calm and, if I'm honest, a little surreal! It's been lovely in a weird way, HellBone made me a cake and spoilt me with gifts but I've just been reading and relaxing which would normally be a novelty, although it's becoming a bit of a normal right now LOL... Looks like I will be celebrating more in SL, maybe?! 

Even in SL though, it seems a little quiet, all my Gators are away and instead of seeing them more, I'm seeing them less LOL... 
So it's a Birthday Party for one! More cake for me! Wonder if I could freeze it so it's available after the virus has passed and everyone can be together in the same place... 
Happy Birthday to me, anyway! Wonder if I'll be here when I'm 35?!

Places for a Good Book

Today is cold and windy in Holland, with smatterings of rain showers... Some people might not be too happy with that but I am euphoric... I LOVE AUTUMN and it's feeling like it's finally arrived! Lots of cool weather to follow I hope, lots of wrapping up warm and hiding from the cold, and all the good stuff that Autumn - or Fall for the Americans out there - brings. 
One of my favourite things to do in the Autumn - and in the Winter too - is curl up with a good book... I love to read all different kinds of things though I admit that romance and fantasy top my reading list, and I love nothing better than a cosy place to curl up and read... 
Have some pretty pictures to share today, I've been trying to take shots of furniture and décor as the focus - I have a LOT of respect for the people that take pictures like this all the time - I'm so not good at it LOL... 
My first attempt at Décor photography is a place that would be amazing to read fantasy stories... 

A gorgeous Autumn forest location, where books and candles bring the fairytales to life... 
Created using SAYO "Pages of Flight" Throne, and some very pretty candles from Second Spaces, this place is the perfect place to read fairy tales - maybe something like the abandoned Toiz "Autumn Fairy Story Book". 
My second picture is a man's work place... Maybe it's a good place while he's working quietly to read some steamy romance? 

Created using items from nefarious.invention's current Arcade Gacha collection, which by the way closes on September 30th - I love the snuggly feel to this room. It's somewhere that my Dad or Grandad may have worked when I was little, with a beaten old leather chair in the corner. I can almost feel that the air smells of wood, gasoline or even on the odd occasion whisky... 
Seeing these cosy places makes me want to curl up with a book, so for today I am going to disappear, I just want to know, where would you like to curl up and read? 

What's in the picture;
Picture 1:
Chair: SAYO - Pages of Flight Throne

Snaps to Start

The weekend is a good time to wake up slowly, drink a few cups of coffee and then perhaps spend a good few hours taking some pretty pictures and wasting a day lol... That's definitely my Sunday routine but this weekend I want a day of nothing-much-ness and I plan to do that by spending my time with my SL camera. 
Give me five minutes in my gorgeous little office to make sure my camera is all set up and ready to rock and roll... 

I love this new pose from Come Soon by the way. It's called My Lens and it's available now at The Chapter Four until August 31st. As per usual, the Come Soon Poses come with a full scene or the pose on it's own, and as nice as the scene is I had to use this particular pose in my office! It was too much of a temptation to resist. I spend time here working on blogging stuff, working on Gator stuff, and in fact working on anything that I have to work on too LOL... It's my quiet place to get things done in. I'm not gonna list all of my little knick-knacks but if you want to know something in particular please do ask me... I have been good and listed all the big furniture pieces though... 
This is the most relaxed outfit I will be wearing today too I'm sure, have a lot of crazy photo ideas that need to be put into place and none of them require me to look comfortable...Guess I should enjoy the comfortable but adorable Frayed Denim Shorts from Mon Cheri, the overly huge sweater from WONDERLOST and the super cute Celie Sneakers from FLG while I can hehe... 
Fact you know what, before I do anymore I'm going to jump in the shower LOL... Let Rudh enjoy her comfort for just a little bit longer huh?!

Relaxing in my Blogging Room

Gosh this weekend was a hectic one... Aside from all of the RL stuff that went on, I had so much going on in SL that I barely had time to stop and think, let alone shop! It's shocking I know, but it's true... I mean OK I did some, but not as much as I should LOL... I mean I had to buy a costume for the opening party of the Gator Maze - I will talk about that more later though - but after all that craziness was over, Sunday was a chance for me to kick back and enjoy working in my NEW HOUSE!!!
I am now Rudh of two houses - the UBER CUTE play house, which I may have to feature properly in a post sometime, and the new more grown up but still whimsical tree house! I figured I'd give you a tour - gives me a reason to get it finished...

The first place I am going to show you seems to be a place that I may end up a LOT...
The house that I call my new house is in fact the Dust Bunny Auburn Tree House, which was available in the September round of The Arcade, and comes in two separate but linkable parts. I fell in love with this house as soon as I saw it, but was afraid I'd never be able to call it mine due to the rareness - and therefore high price of it at gacha yardsales! The smaller of the two tree houses is the one that I want to share with you right now... This has become my "Blogger Office", a place I can escape to so that I have peace and quiet to focus on writing here, and ensuring that my pictures are the same level of bonkers they have always been... I can snuggle up in my cosy Consignment Lazy Chair, with a cup of tea and while away the hours!!
But while I'm here in my office, and as I said I'd give you a tour let me share with you some close-ups...

Starting from the top left then working clockwise, shall we?
The Desk was something that had to be perfect... I wanted something large and that I could make a mess on, just like my RL desk, and when I spotted this one from Fancy Decor at a gacha yardsale it was love at first sight, this HAD to be my desk. Then I went to town with throwing things all over it, this will always be a work in progress however, and it may not stay like this for long... The scrap books from Aphrodisiac are one of my favourite items - you can add your own pictures to make it feel very personal, which didn't take me long, I knew just who had to be in it - then I added a Tarte Typewriter, a tres blah Catch All,  an 8f8 Secret Diary, posetcards from Dust Bunny, some hole punches from Second Spaces, an address book from Commoner, and a vintage camera that's also from tres blah... All the accoutrements of a good blogger hehe... With a hint of decoration in the form of the Oolong Teacup Planter from ARIA and the Zaara Block Prints...
The second picture - moving clockwise - is going to be a little easier to talk about as there is a lot less stuff in this one lol... The Inspiration Board is one from the tres blah Workspace collection that I spent hours editing to provide me the inspiration that I would need while working. I then decorated a little with an Apple Fall Dress Form and some Garbaggio Shoe Clutter!  
OOOOH onto a picture with one of my favourite items in the room as we move clockwise... This tres blah Tea Time set, with it's pretty tea tin of flowers and CRUMPETS!!! Love crumpets! The daffodils in the vase are also something special too - you can get these at Apple Fall - but I chose them because they remind me of my RL mum! These things are sitting on a table that Lilian found for me from Apt B, its a Country Living Metal Table that's probably not meant for an office but hey I LOVE it and it fits with my desk huh?!
Lastly, something I couldn't resist hanging up was this Chalkboard Checklist from Plethora. Wouldn't it be great if we had checklists like this for everything? I really could use something like that to help my brain Lol...
Wow, there is a lot of information there LOL... All those little details make a girl crazy, but for me it's the details that make the house feel special. I know a million people in SL have all the same goodies, but sometimes it's the way we put them together that brings out signs of our personalities right?
