Boots & Bacon Seeds

Featuring Yasum & |T|L|C| Home Collection

I had to laugh as I was titling this photo and at the same time cringed a bit.  My husband, who knows what an animal lover I am, often refers to baby pigs as bacon seeds just to get a reaction out of me.  Don’t get me wrong, I love bacon but would never knowingly eat any meat that came from a baby animal.  Maybe its the mother instinct in me or maybe I am just weird! LOL  Anyway, it is a cute name for some cute creations.

The boots are by Yasum and are available at REDEUX which just started today and will run thru the 21st.  The detail and texture work are just beautiful and of course there are color choices as well as color options for the socks.  A must have for your winter wardrobe.

My sweet…tasty..I mean, just sweet, piglet friends are by TLC Home Collection.  So realistic, their fur just makes you want to reach down and pet them.  They are also animated, making gentle movements with their heads, just ready to dig into the treats I have brought them.  It is Christmas after all!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Featuring [Fetch] & Fashiowl Poses

Happy Friday everyone!  We had a little snow in the air here in the southern United States and I had to quickly grab some video on my phone.  We just don’t see it much here and having lived in Michigan most of my life I suppose I miss it a bit….at Christmastime at least.  It was only fitting that my latest photo feature a bit of the fluffy flakes.  

I am feeling all wintry in my quilted skirt and fuzzy sweater from [Fetch].  You can find the outfit at Collabor88.  It’s called Kelly and comes in 18 mix and match color options, 9 for the skirt and 9 for the sweater. Super cute!

The pose I am using comes from the always creative Fashiowl Poses.  Its called Xmas Bicycle and is your gift at The Liaison Collaborative right now!  It includes 7 different poses that are built in the bike and also included separately and are adjustable via menu.  Fashiowl Poses is also having a 50% off sale in their mainstore right now thru the 26th.  It’s a great time to grab up some adorable poses and props.

Visions of Sugarplums

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

We are right in the middle of that time of year where treats and goodies are plentiful everywhere you look.  Myself, I have been thinking about Russian Teacakes.  They are a Christmas tradition for me and I admit to visions of them dancing in my head even while “snug” in my chair.  I am loving all the Christmas decor and photos and am starting to wonder what we will all be taking photos of after Christmas.

My pose today is by PosEd Poses and is aptly named “Thinking Out Loud”.  If you look closely you can see I am thinking about sugarplums and other treats “dancing” in my head.  I need pecans for my teacakes…I may as well head to the store so I can make my teacakes and then start thinking about the next tasty treat.

Christmas Keys

One thing I really love about the Christmas season it the music.  Growing up my mother played her collection of Christmas albums the whole month of December on a floor model record player.  Back then record players were in a large console that was actually what I would consider a piece of furniture.

I remember it well, sliding the top open and watching the records spin round and round. While the old console is long gone, my mother still keeps a record player and still plays all those old, well loved, Christmas albums.

This gorgeous piano is by Krescendo and is available now at the Seduction Fair until December 21st. The baubles in the vases are from Krescendo as well and are part of the MadPea Alliance.  You can read more about the MadPea Premium hunts here.

The beautiful dress I am wearing is by *Sweet Kajira* and is coming soon to the Sense Event which opens on December 18th.  The Jane dress comes in nine shades, perfect for the holidays and beyond.

Tool Time

Need an oil change? Tune up? You’ve come to the right place!  The newest releases from Meva are inspiring me to throw on some tats and be a little rough around the edges.  I combined the leather and tattoos with some feminine hair because I like that combination of hard and soft.

Be sure to check out all the recent releases from Meva because all of the pieces can be mixed and matched with each other for several great looks.  I am wearing pieces from the Rory set, currently at Kinky!  Hurry over to Kinky before the 19th and be a little naughty while Santa isn’t watching!

A Little Help From Friends

I am about to start my yearly struggle with Christmas lights.  I’m running behind this year so won’t be going all out but I do want to put them in the front windows.  It would be nice to just open the door and have my feathered friends come in and flit about, hanging lights here and there, while I sipped cocoa on the couch.  Since that is not going to happen, I guess I better get busy.  Happy Monday everyone!

Reindeer Games

Spinning off the idea of my Frosty tribute picture I thought it only fair that Rudolph get a shout out too and so much of my cute decor from Sway’s fit right in with the feeling of the movie.

Sway’s has a great Advent Calendar going and if you have not started it already I suggest you get over there, get your hud, hunt for the keys and start clicking the calendar before you miss any more gifts.  Sway’s also has new spotlight items available…2 in fact…because she thought they went so well together AND she’s the boss!  She can do that!  Lucky for us.  The spot light items are Christmas Treats and Snowman Mugs and are super adorable.  Remember, Spotlight items are 50% off for VIP members and 15% off for everyone!  Spotlight pricing is good until January 5th.

Also setting the mood are my reindeer antlers and Rudolph nose..you know..just in case I have to guide Santa’s sleigh too!  They are from Gable and are available at the SL Christmas Expo.  They are also Gable’s 100% donation item, meaning 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this set go to Relay for Life.  The Expo runs through the 9th so time is running out!  Don’t miss it.

Last but certainly not least are my super comfy cozy PJ’s by Pink Star Attire.  So cute and they come in several Christmas patterns.  Great for relaxing and snuggling with your favorite guy or gal during the Christmas holiday! (Disclaimer: I may be partial to the PJ’s because they are made by my awesome sissy but they truly are as adorable as she is!)
