First of all, I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy Holidays! If you are, like me, a bit lazy today…and have no real plans other than perhaps some more food (and drinks!), I can recommend a visit to The North Pole Sleigh Ride Adventure! I did it this morning, while waking up with…

Roots and War – JadeYu Fhang
This morning I followed Ziki’s trail to Roots and War, an art installation by JadeYu Fhang, after I got intrigued by Ziki’s post and pictures. And also, I was in need of something without snow, ice and ‘ho ho ho!!’… Roots and War is impressive and best seen in the regional windlight (verdigris), although I…
Fruit Islands – Winterland
Back in 2008 I rented my first small tropical island on an estate called Fruit Islands. I was so proud and happy with my 768 sqm piece of paradise! The owners, Equinox and Dennis were very helpful and friendly and after a while I moved on to a bigger island..and then to half a sim!…
Rebeca’s Sleepy Snail
After I saw pictures on Flickr of Rebeca Bashly’s latest full sim art installation ‘Sleepy Snail‘ I immediately put it on my list of things to go see ASAP! It’s known I am a fan of Rebeca’s work, and this one on Metales is as delightful as I hoped it would be! Now, I am…
Mad City
Mad City Christmas is another gorgeous looking city created by Mad Pea Productions, this time the city is covered in snow and there are plenty of shops for some good old fashioned Christmas shopping. There is also the Holiday Havoc Hunt and and Advent Calendar with gifts, for those looking for some action and puzzles…
A Postcard Christmas
Every year when it gets near halfway December, I get a shock when realising how fast Christmas is approaching. To me it always feels like it is suddenly there, while I am still in Autumn-mode… In SL things go even faster, Christmas decorations all over the place – even before the 5th of December…in my…
Past and Present
When Don and I met for the first time, many years ago, we both looked different…although not so much as I thought. After Don had his picture taken by Trinetty Skytower, picturing him with both a young and mature face (THIS is the most awesome portrait I have ever seen!), we got inspired to make…
Ice, Ice Baby
Well yes, I woke up with Vanilla Ice’s old song in my head. Don’t ask….and please don’t judge… To distract myself a bit from ‘stop, collaborate and listen!’ all the time, I went out for some shopping inworld and ended up at the Main Event Winter. A quite nice concept, creators sell outfits but only…
It’s cold in Samurai Village
Another re-visit, to a sim I really enjoyed while in Halloween/Autumn setting and which has now turned snow white and cold for the holiday season: Samurai Village – the private home of Ginger Krokus, is still open to all to enjoy! Ginger created a lovely winter in her City and it is surely photogenic, I…
The Machine
This afternoon I managed to get completely lost….yeah, I am just terrible when it comes to mazes and staircases, but eventually I made it! I visited ‘The Machine’, an art installation by Lilia Artis and Moeuhane Sandalwood on LEA. It is interactive, and I am not going to give away the clues – except that…
Yuki No Yume – A Dream of Snow (closed)
Edit february 2014, this sim is now closed. This morning I was delighted to find out Jac Mornington opened his newest sim, Yuki No Yume – A Dream of Snow, to the public. A wonderful Japanese winter, a joy to walk around and explore! There are secluded spots, panoramic views, some wildlife and snow is…
Invisible People – by Rebeca Bashly
The brandnew art installation by Rebeca Bashly, called Invisible People, has been featured on many blogs and in Flickr already and that is not without reason! I always enjoy Rebeca’s work very much and could not wait to tp to ‘La Citta Perduta’ in which this work is displayed. Invisible People is a story, presented…
The Tudor Rose
Yesterday I visited and explored Tudor Rose, a wonderful medieval city, which is described in the welcome notecard as follows: ‘In the dramatic background of the 16th century England, one woman holds the key to England’s most glorious empire, Elizabeth Tudor. The Elizabethan era was considered to be the Golden Age. The long reign of…
Jasmine’s Hollow and The Dirty Grind
Yesterday I spent some time exploring Jasmine’s Hollow and The Dirty Grind. Not a very wellknown location, well at least I have not seen much about it, but it is worth a visit. Most of the sim is residential (The Jasmine’s Hollow part) and upon arrival you are presented some (basic, normal) rules in which…
The Wild Places
‘A prima donna, slipped into her leather But she was restless She knew it in her heart of hearts She said: “Tonight you’d better pull yourself together Because tonight I’m gonna pull myself apart!” Out on the streets Everyone is searchin’ for a thrill But she’s the only one that’s out there Really dressed to…
Happy Mood in Winter
As much as I enjoyed the colourful Autumn sims, I am delighted that now, slowly, some of my favourite locations are turning into winter settings. I think it has to do with my obvious preference for bright and white pictures, like in summer and spring, as well as the fact Autumn is my least favourite…
