My life has changed, and I’m changing with it. ~ Sophie Kinsella

Change can be a good thing…maybe.  If you speak to those close to me they would tell you that I don’t adjust well to change.  To be honest though I think I am just more cautious, carefully weighing the pros and cons before I embrace change.  For instance take mesh heads…

While I did try many demos I never bought into wearing one.   You could personalize to a certain extent with skins and makeup but I never found one that felt even remotely like me.  I have invested in a bento mesh head and have even worn it out once.   It still needs tweaking so there are no plans to wear it again in the near future.  The myriad of facial animations available do not interest me in the least as I am only interested in the ability to close my eyes and maybe smile. While my opinion may change, at this point I just don’t find a wink along with my tongue hanging out appearing to clean my nose to be particularly attractive. I am however looking forward to bento hands.

My body itself is going through change too.  While most women seem to have their babies in a matter of weeks here in SL I have opted to embrace the nine months just like 1st. I have had my first doctors appointment and can report that everything is as it should be. I’ve been working on making a shape for each month, and I have discovered my mesh body can accept a pregnant shape up to a certain point before it starts to look like a cone head belly lol.  A separate add-on baby bump is not to my liking as it’s not fitted for my mesh body and then you have to match it to your skin.  I will just opt to be very fit and have a baby bump to match.

With the advent of fitted mesh one also does not have to worry about special clothing. A word of caution though…Not all fitted mesh lends itself well to a pregnancy shape. One has to be careful of the style and placement of folds/wrinkles as they tend to deform badly on a pregnant lady.  I have been diligently working through my closet adding an asterisk at the end of folders that work well with a baby bump and feel that I have a solid collection that is versatile and will carry me through up to delivery.  Over the coming months I hope to find more designs that are of classic styling and enhance a baby bump to boot as in the photo above. I am not giving up my shopping 🙂  My advice is to DEMO, DEMO, DEMO. In the meantime be kind to one another.  TWMA♥

La vie est faite de petits bonheurs.’  ~ author unknown

Don’t ask to me speak french but, the above quote translates to “Life is made of little happiness”, or my personal translation…”Simple pleasures are da stuff life is made of.”

Though it has only been a bit over a week since I first posted about the Cheeky Pea Summer Greenhouse, it feels more like a month.  As you know I had this concept in my mind and after several starts, stops and finally conferring with Henry my vision began to take shape.

Finding the correct plants that gave it a tropical feel along with hunting down planters to put them in was a major hurdle to overcome.  My fingers are sore from all the walking they did through marketplace but once I found what I was looking for the real work began and that was getting the size right.  After several failed attempts and Henry asking “Can the planters be made larger?” Subtle ain’t he?   I just scrapped the planter I was working on deciding to go big or go home.  BINGO!

There was an issue with plants fading in and out but removing the floors shadow prim seems to have fixed that little bug.   I could not find a fountain in the style I was looking for but was able to enlarge the one pictured and sink the first bowl into the floor to get the look I was after.  In the end the finished product is pretty much what I had visualized in the beginning.

There are several places to sit, have tea, a romantic dinner, maybe a cuddle or two and even dance.  You can opt not to hear music and instead listen to the birds and insects make happy sounds, which I think is one of the greatest simple pleasures of all.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
