Itty Bitty Gothic Prefab of Almost Doneness \o/

We still lack a front step, but the build is otherwise complete.

Second floor Balcony of Awesome Balconyness

Stair of Spiralyness

Trapdoor of Trappyness ^.^

Houston, we have a problem. I can't package it and sell it. I've tried it in a box and in a rezzer and the problem I'm having is that everything scripted (all the doors of Epic Dooryness - trapdoor and cell included) only stay positioned and open and close properly if the castle is oriented to face north. I've tried linking the doors and unlinking the doors and repositioning and resetting the scripts and I just don't know what else to do. I'm guessing there's some voodoo script magic I'm supposed to do here, but uhm...I'm proud I got scripts in the doors.
So, cute lil castle, almost ready for anyone who only wants to live facing north x.x
Perhaps a voodoo script magic faerie will descend upon me while I'm finishing the stair and modding textures for the second floor.

Super Quick Squee Blog!

Among the items I've been waiting for Emo-tions to bring over from the old world, the combat kilt was a mainstay in my SL wardrobe. So versatile and so hot. One of the first articles of clothing I bought when I got serious about being 'in'.
Totally made the girly squee noise when I found it.
That's all.
Oh! Castle update: OMG it's almost done! Just needs doors. *dances* So exciting. Pics later ^.^

Itty Bitty Gothic Prefab

So, last night I was laying on the floor fiddling with prims and though "Hey, why not a castle?" So I roughed one out, there on the floor. Teeny little prim castle. When it was 'done' I dragged it up to my junk drawer...erm, building platform and made it big. Well, that was not good. I didn't want a bunch of megaprims and when I stretched up so the max size of prim was 10 meters, the area between the ceilings and floors was like, 2 meters.
Not even sure tinies would've wanted to squeeze in there. So, I scrapped it and started over with bigger prims, scaled to me. I'm kinda short, as most are aware (I think 6' 1'' is plenty tall, but eh, whatevs) so maybe the ceilings are still a little low, but it's my Itty Bitty Gothic Prefab and I love it.

Here is a front view. Notice there are no windows. I realize not having windows is a security measure, but there's also a big old balcony (unfinished) on the second floor. It's my Itty Gothic Prefab; it'll be windowless yet insecure if I want it to be. Stairs also unfinished (read: nonexistent), but with the exception of those and the balcony - OH! and lack of door - everything inside and out is finished and textured (I'm shocked, too).

Comfy dungeon with owner-lockable cell. Awesome!


Second floor, much the same as the first floor/entry level.


And the roof with wicked neat turret-y things.

I haven't worked out travel between levels. The footprint of the house is roughly 20x25 meters, so it really is 'itty'. Am percolating ideas for stairs, but may wimp out and use floor to floor teleporters. Will see. Also, I'm already having ideas for my Godawfulbig Gothic Prefab Castle ^.^

This is not SL!

Built like a brick sh...Victorian

Quickie post to show off the progress of the Vickys. After struggling with actually finding natural sidings and attempting to texture Vicky Green with them, I had a brainstorm *ding*. There are totally brick Victorian houses. And I knew this, but the vision of the finished home always had siding. I dunno. I'm slow to change ^.^
Given that, though the houses tend to be just as - if not more in some cases - ornate as their wooden counterparts, yet relatively 'flatter' and less sprawling, I did some adjusting on some of the walls. Where floors tended to jut out a bit, I deleted here and there and shuffled prims around. One room lost a window and a little bit of space, but it's all flowing together nicely, still, I think.
I am giving myself a challenge! Since the only real work left now is roofing, I'm giving myself 3 days (yes, three!) to finish this version of the house (after only *cough5cough* months).
It would be absolutely fantastic to get the other three versions textured and planted and landscaped by December 1, and I'm going to keep that in mind, but I've committed to the Christmas Hunt and the prizes for that have 10 days to manifest ^.^ (omg deadlines!)

Here is Vicky G in her unfinished but way more textured glory.

One Step at a Time

For the cool cat who's buildin' a world so I can build my own.

One Step at a Time
by Joseph Morris

In the morning with the journey all before us on the road,
It takes courage to begin, that is sure;
For the first step is the hardest, and we always think the load
May be greater than we've power to endure.
When the first mile lies behind us we can say, "Now that is done,
And the second and the third will soon be past."
So we trudge on through the noontime, and the setting of the sun
Finds us coming to our stopping-place at last.

When a man would climb a mountain he's appalled to see the length
Of the slope that reaches up into the sky;
But he starts, and with the climbing he will find he's gained the strength
To attain the very top, however high.
For the climbing of a mountain takes but one step at a time--
Who has courage to do that will reach the goal;
He will stand upon Life's summit and will know that joy sublime
Which is his alone who dares to prove his soul.

Presents for me and a little exploring

As I was wrestling with the MLP on my gazebo and getting a bit irritated, I took a look at myself and though "Self, you need some new hair." Shopping makes me less irritated, so I agreed with me and off I went to seek new hairs at Emo-tions. Found some! Also found a lovely new pink outfit that I had to have.

With new hair on head, I debated going back to work, but eh, didn't feel like it and after a discussion about RP sims with a friend, I realized I hadn't been to see Hawk and Raivynn's Falcon Crest Village since it had gone through a rebuild.
Wow. Sooo pretty and just begging picture taking.


I'm a huge fan of flowers everywhere and they are all over the place. Tons of intimate little settings are sprinkled about the area amongst flowers and trees.


I wandered around for a while and came across the bathhouse. Not needing a bath, I didn't take one, so no pics of that; sorry ^.^ I freshened up a bit and rolled on.


Ohh, fresh fruits and veggies. They looked so yummy and no one was around...I may or may not have shoplifted a bit here and enjoyed a shiny, red apple.


Possibly feeling guilty after a little criminal behavior, the tavern I sought refuge in seemed a good place to nap. They might want to see about a bartender who knows when to cut a girl off.
