Yuki No Yume  112213

As winter arrives in the Northern Hemisphere in our real world, so it does in Second Life.  Winter sims are popping up all over and the joy of the holidays are stirring up events and parties and fund raisers.  In the midst of it all, a beautiful sim has opened.  “Yuki No Yume.. Dream of Snow” is Jac Mornington’s latest development.  Jac has always admired the Japanese winter scenes that he has found in images online, around creations in Second Life and has toyed with opening such a sim to the public for a few years.  When his partner, Rie Silverfall, told him she would love to have a Japanese winter sim, Jac knew he could make it happen.  He set out to find some very awesome landscaping pieces from Alex Bader, Kriss Lehmann, Nadine Reverie, Tobias Novi, Kendra Zaurak, and others.  He then started setting things out.  Playing with the design, looking up images online to help him set his vision of the Japanese landscape.  He picked up some gorgeous builds from Van Auster and Ryusho Ort to bring the little homestead together.  A waterfall falls into a stream which runs through the setting into a creek eddy turning in to a frozen lake where the beautiful Japanese red-crowned cranes play.  The setting is serene, peaceful and beautifully put together.  As you walk along the paths, you will see the movement of the water, the birds, and the other animals… and yes, you will feel that you have fallen in to truly natural existence of winter.  Be sure to visit, the sim is open now and it is not to be missed.

A New Home

So I have been setting up a new house for the last few weeks.  I removed the house that I shared, and am making this little house more about me.  I’ve made some other changes around the sim as well, but not too much other than the house.

I have always loved Lindini2 Lane’s homes (L2 Studio) and for now, I have selected the West Lake house.  I did some modifications to make the upstairs a little bigger and to add a roof top deck as well.  With the way this house sits up on one of the bluffs overlooking the lake, I wanted some outdoor space with a view.  I shopped high and low for the items that I have placed in the house, with some items straight from the inventory and some bought new… I have made the house my home and decided I’d dust off my blog and share pics!

I have selected items from so many creators to add to my home.  It has been fun finding new fun things while out and about as well as getting ideas from various places.  Most of my furniture and decor items come from the following shops: LISP, LAQ Decor, Urbanized, Apple Fall, Scarlet Apple, Art Dummy, Chronokit, ILO, NULL, What Next, Cheeky Pea, Dutchie, Tatty Soup, Picnic, Floor Plan, Tranquility Way Station, Insight Designs, Post, Ikebana, One Grid, iTuTu, Frog’s Pond, MMG, JubJub, Naked Mesh.  You will see these items placed around my home and if you want to know where anything specific is from, please ask.

I am sure that I will continue changing the rooms as I find fun new stuff and especially as mesh items catch my eye.  If you’d like to stop in for a cup of tea, a cupcake and a closer look, just find me in world and pop on over ❤

Be happy, enjoy the creations in SL and support the creators… and decorate!

with <3,

Sunshine
