Bringing my blog up to date - having fun with evie

As I said earlier today, I have let things get out of hand again.

Soooo my apologies as some of these posts and pictures are "old" and therefore out of sequence, but I want them up because I know that members of the Family read them to catch up with what is happening in SL ...

I have been terraforming my SIM - and you will have seen its waterfall and river. Well, any good river needs a willow tree or three - and so I went to my Tiny Empires' upline's SIM to obtain some willows. And while I was there evie joined me - and we had fun riding around the SIM on a toy train - exploring gypsy caravans - and falling out of barges floating in the river :D

At one point the train even goes through an underwater tunnel !

What fun !!!

Sorry there are no pictures of the cuddle in the caravan :)

Seriously there are none and it is a PG SIM after all :))

And similarly none of the lovely barges :)))

A great pity none of these fit the medieval theme of my SIM :(

I just loved the bright colours of the barges and the caravan !!!

Well, maybe the caravan will fit ?

If you want to visit this SIM search for "Tin Teddy"

Helicopter outing

I am behind in my posts (again).

Ellie and I were dancing at the Ozland Cat Inn when Arwin dropped by

And we just had to have a lovely flight with Arwin in her helicopter

... despite me constantly crashing :(

Evie, the photographer :)

Sadly I miscalculated my SL for julie's birth.

And poor julie had her own bout of crashes during the birth.

However Evie was there to count the breathing, urge the pushing and snap some photographs.

And Annemarie was there for support, encouragement and guidance.

So here they all are ... the pictures tell their own story ... so "mum's the word" (giggles)

Another wonderful event for our Family :-)

"Thank you"s to Doctor Tracey :-) :-)

Love to you all :-) :-) :-)

oXo

But I did take some pictures of the proud parents to be :-))

Slow progress on my dream

I may have mentioned my dream before in the blog, but I do know many of you have heard me talk of it . . .

. . . my dream grew out of my experiences of being approached by many girls - some with experiences and hurts, . . . and some who have heard about the lifestyle and have come to second life to test themselves . . .

. . . so my dream is to provide a place of peace and tranquility for such girls:

- those that are hurt can draw comfort form their sisters, and decide whether to venture forth again

- those that are new can learn of mistakes and pitfalls and venture forth with some knowledge and skills

I had already been slowly acquiring land around where I first lived when I started to get to know SL and the lifestyle, and so I decided to turn those memories into my dream

And it has been a slow journey ... acquiring more land ... doing terraforming ... buying buildings and trees and flowers and waterfalls

Here I am standingby the waterfall having dug a stream to run across half of the land :~

Here we are sitting outside the community hall looking towards the waterfall :~

The community hall ... I have been trying to provide scenic billboards to mask out the neighbouring SIM but I need bigger boards and better pictures :)

In the background of the picture are two 10x10 boards with a picture of an alpine village mirrored on them.

A wishing wall at what will be the landing point for these lands ... it collects donations to help with the upkeep of the lands :~

I have placed a church in the same spot that Annemarie & liz, and tasja & amanada were married :~

I hope that I will be able to celebrate many more weddings and happy occasions here in the future :-))

I plan to have cottages erected across the land, this one I bought, however liz has built me three others that are a better design and much better textures - not as Hansel and Gretel as this one !!!

As well as the cottages for the girls there will areas for meeting friends and for moments of quiet reflection :~

And then there will be my home, a small one room castle :~

I do not own the whole SIM, I have most of the lands, but I also have neighbours with empty plots and neighbours like this art gallery :~

The stream leads from my waterfall to a small waterfall/spring that runs through the gardens of one neighbour ...

... to become a third waterfall at a bath pooling by a second neigbour's house :~

Almost all of the neighbours have homes that are keeping with the medieval look that I am striving for :~

This is the last of my current neighbours - most of them are friends from my early days and they are supportive of my dream :~

I have been blessed by SL and the people I have met ... and I hope my dream is a way to share those blessings.

Love to you all.
