Twice in a blue moon ........

or something like that. I go months in jeans and then twice in one week I get dressed up. I decided I better capture it for the record - those who know me will never believe it otherwise. :)

Changes

I have to make room for more trees. So I think I'll move the flowers over next to the herb garden and use that space. Means I need to level this area out a bit. Of course it also means I have to go work on those trees. :)

SBBOD - Von Johin

Went to hear Von Johin tonight - he crashed in the middle of his set. But his stream didn't stop - his viewer was just gone. He described the crash as the "Spinning Beach Ball of Death". The acronym for this would, of course, be "SBBOD". :)

A good night!

Yes I do own something besides jeans. :) Just usually gardening and you don't wear clothes like this to garden.

Had to clean up to go to the official opening party of the 7 Hills Equestrian Centre. Hosted by Sverien Oldrich, Simone Reyes and the fabulous Eliza Wierwright who did the design for the clubhouse and grounds. A very nice surprise was one of the performers - and one of my favourites. Joaquin Gustav! swoon....


Afterwards I changed back into my jeans and did some work on a small landscaping project I have. Then I finished another texture and just as I'm planting the new flower along comes GoSpeed.


Remind me next time I'm landscaping an island to leave room to park a blimp!

Working hard!

I have been very productive lately - gotten a number of new flowers done and 4 more herbs. It doesn't show here with the potted ones, but the herb garden needs about 4 or 5 more before it'll look fully stocked.

I spend hours and hours making plant textures. Doesn't make me neurotic. Some people (I understand) spend an inordinate amount of time building ships in bottles. I prefer the plants. :)

Gibson Island Again


Came back to Gibson Island to hear some more of Von Johin. What a great way to decompress. :)

A new (to me) toy!!! The BlogHUD!


This is a test. I'm making this blog post from inside SL using the BlogHUd. If you're curious go to bloghud.com and check it out. :) My life would have been sooooo much easier during the Gibson Island opening if I'd known about this.

And it worked!!! I came in just to add this note and the tags. It automatically gives a link to the location where you took the pic - this is a very cool toy. :)

Koz Farina has created this little jewel. I had some trouble setting up the cross-posting to this blog but I perservered (cause I'm stubborn) and as you can see - it works! I don't think the problems were caused by bloghud - it had something to do with cookies and my system. I don't know - but it got sorted out.

It's actually simpler to do a post with a picture than without - look on the bloghud.com homepage for a link to the announcement about being able to include pics for the instructions.

I'm looking forward to the next big event - unlike Gibson Island, I won't have to keep minimizing; going into the photo editor and changing the pic to a jpg; then coming in here; uploading the pic and writing the text. You can specify the size you want the pics to be in your account set up - so it's all done in advance.

Congratulations Koz!
