~F A L L ~ “Couldn’t Go Home For Thanksgiving This Year So I Decided To Invite Some Friends Over

~F A L L ~  So beyond thrilled at how the office remodel came out! I love this space!  The white shiplap in this room is such a dream come true for me. I love having such a lot of storage so that I have such a clean slate to grade papers and write books on.  

~ F A L L ~  “How many more boxes?” Holly asked sitting beside Gracie on the porch steps.

“Too many,” Gracie rolled her eyes and tried to hide the tired muscles she felt everywhere. “Holly, have I ever told you how much I hate moving?”

Holly giggled, “Hmmm only a million times when we first  moved into our old dorm room, and another half a million times over skype last time you moved.”

Gracie smiled, “Okay, okay. Easy now.”

“Luckily I’ve come to your rescue” Holly struck a pose and Gracie laughed, wrapping her arms around Holly’s shoulders.

“I knew it was smart befriending you. Supergirl, aka Holly Swann.”

Holly suddenly perked up “Hey! Gracie, we should take a break and go to that pumpkin patch! I mean this is a farming town, and where better for you to meet a cute farmer? Uh, I mean pick a cute pumpkin!”

Gracie smirked, unamused by Holly’s latest match making schemes. Holly widened her big eyes and pulled out her best puppy pout and before Gracie knew it, they were off to the pumpkin patch.

“So what are you going to make, Gracie Grace?” Holly asked, snacking on pizza while they drove home, complete with large pumpkins in the back seats.

“Probably a cat,” Gracie shrugged while driving.

“Crazy cat lady,” Holly whispered under her breath.

“Hey!” Gracie flicked Holly in the passenger seat, eliciting a whispered ouch. “I am not a crazy cat lady, thank you very much. I only have one. One cute little Willow so I’m not a total spinster.

"You’ll find him Gracie. You will”

“So will you,” Gracie said with a smirk.

Hours passed quickly with such good company, and soon enough the pumpkins were carved and lit, almost all the boxes had been moved, and Holly’s plane was nearing its departure hour. “I’ll miss you.” Gracie said.

“I’ll miss you too,” Holly replied, giving Gracie a hug.

“Thanks for the help, it meant a lot, and I like this getting together more than just once a year at the penthouses.”

Holly smiled, “Yeah, me too.”

With lots of well wishes Holly was off, and Gracie sat on the steps of her new house hoping it wouldn’t always feel as lonely as it did now.

Thanks for collabing with me @plumdrops Holly is such (!) a beautiful sim! Thank you to Frankie for the fun challenges @simblrsimplyforfun

Could I have the Rosie Skin please?

~ F A L L ~

Well guys, I’m back with some happy/sad news. I lost my job in Appaloosa Plains (to the Principle’s niece no less) and because of that I’ve had to move. I’m so sad to be leaving my Grandmothers Victorian/Farmhouse behind, especially since I’d spent so much time and heart renovating it just how I liked.

But the good news is I’ve found another job in Winchester as a school teacher. It’s a much smaller school but I think it will be a good change. I’m coming on as a full time teacher and also an administrative aid and I’m hoping that during my time here I can really make a difference. So far I’m loving the small town community vibes here.

I’ve also been able to move into my own little farm here. Complete with garden and a little barn with a studio on top. I don’t paint but maybe I’ll have to start trying. The fall weather is so gorgeous and inspiring. The house needs some updating so I’m currently painting to start. As I make progress I’ll share.

Here’s to my favorite season and some new beginnings. Cheers.

Hi guys!

I decided today would be a good day for to come back from lurking and share something with you!

I am in love with all of the TS4 cc created by @dk-sims, and I decided I would teach myself to convert cc just so I could enjoy them in TS3 too! So here is the first of a couple of my conversions! I hope you love them as much as I do :) 

So today I bring you:  

Cute Pattern Wallpapers for TS3

Enjoy! 

Another old simblrssimplyforfun challenge but I loved the result. Also how pretty does Isla Paradiso look in the background?

Simblr Simply For Fun: Raffle Skins for Make Over

This month in the raffle I rolled a skin for a base sim make over (I won Frankie’s bases in Challenge Two almost a year ago!), so here’s my make over! I’m actually really proud of this one!  Meet Malia Kahale! You can see the original base’s thumbnail side by side with the current version. I thought she looked kinda Hawaiian so I used that as my inspo. I used the Fleur skin from the challenges and wow I fell in love. I’ll update soon with a link to download if you want Malia, so the rest of her outfits are previewed under the cut below if you want to see more. 

@gruesim @simblrsimplyforfun Could I have the Maisy Skin please?

The rules are simple: go to pinterest, search "your name + core", and post six pictures. Then tag six people.

Looks like mine is a mix of cottage core and light academia vibes. I’m happy with it.

So fun! Thank you @kevinvoncrastenburg for tagging me.

Hey guys!

Sorry I dropped off the radar for the past month, I’ve had some crazy real life stuff going on, like my husband being diagnosed with MS. We are still reeling and just trying to adjust our life and help him to heal and recover.

Because of all that I’m taking a little break here. All conversions and stuff are on pause for a bit. I still have some things in my queue so I might post those if I have time, and pop in here and there when I can.

But truth be told I’m an Enneagram nine who likes to shut down and retreat to my ‘inner world’ aka sims when things get too hard but I am really trying to just show up and be present for my real life, even though it’s overwhelming and hard (and let’s be honest I broke down in tears because never did I ever think I’d be worrying about losing my partner and learning how to cope watching him suffer when I am only 26. That was not on my radar)

So anyway, I hope to return eventually because I have some more Saint Greer builds I was really excited to share and more going on in Hylewood. Not to mention a folder full of half finished conversions. But I need to (force myself to) take a step back and just embrace the season we’re in. Any prayers and love is appreciated.

Thanks guys.

I’ve been working so hard and finally I got promoted! I am now officially a teacher! Now I just have to get this mountain of laundry done. Hopefully with this promotion I’ll have more money to put into my house renovation (I’m living in an old Victorian that I inherited from my Nana). For now enjoy my Landry Reno, I just love the tile. I don’t love waiting around for the drier to finish though!

Hello friends, a little cc update. I am working on another big children’s set but it’s been slow going since I’m working full time instead of part time these days. But it’s over halfway done and I’m going to try to stay on the motivation train and get to the finish line for you all.

In the meantime I have a few other wips that have been complete and in my personal gameplay for a while that I going to try to share. So the next few sets might be small but there’s a big one coming at the end 💕
