Cheers, on a dreamy 2019 with lots of fantasy, love and happiness for you. I hope you will feel good about yourself even though there may be happen lesser pleasant things in your life.

The last post of the year i always use to express my gratitude to the people that i love very much in my life. The ones i love in sl are also part of my real life. They make me feel happy and i hope i can make them feel  happy too.
My gratitude also goes to my sponsors as well as to all the designers who spoil us with presents. You can find the sponsors at the right top of my blog. They make it possible for me to be more creative. Several new designers accepted me as a blogger this year.
I hope that it's a pleasure to open my blog and let yourself be surprised by what I've made. The information helps you hopefully to find beautiful clothes or decoration items or leads you to nice events or places.
A special thanks goes to Laura for her good advise and also to Dancer for her tips.
Cheers, on a new year with blog posts.

Nic is wearing a dress from *{Junbug}*. I got the dress from the designer of *CH* Poses, Crypticbabe, as a reward for being in her bloggers group. Super thanks.

preparations for New Year's Eve

☆

Click small picture to enlarge

It's nearly the end of the year. New Year's Eve preparations in the kitchen. Many cakes are already baked. The Christmas tree is still standing and the Christmas decoration still hanging. The sphere is cosy and warm. Outside it's cold and misty.
I made this new blog post for the contest of the Love to Decorate group. The rules were not totally clear for me when i made this post earlier. One of the rules is: you must use at least 10 items from 10 different stores in your photo. Unclear to me was at that moment, that it had to be 10 stores from the "It's a LTD Christmas!" gifts. In the other picture i used many different stores but not 10 from the LTD presents. So this is a new try.
I used the The Finnish Farm Sky box kitchen from Kraftwork in the Builders Box from December. First time for me to decorate a kitchen and i loved to do it. See the credits for what i used for the decor. The presents from the LTD group are still available until at least January 15th.
And i wish you already all the best for the New Year. A good health, much love and happiness and that many dreams may come true. Guess what is one of my little dreams? Yes.. winning a prize in this contest. ;)

bear hug

Oh i see that my last blog post was at Wednesday. Now already Saturday! Busy times i had in rl and yesterday i helped to make vendors for poses from Salacity. That is why you didn't see blog posts. The good part of it is, that i could use some of the poses that i got for the vendors. I used poses from a set named OoLaLa and from the Vargas Girls set. The first set is new  and will be out soon on an event, as i understood well. I will add the info, when i know at which event the pose set will be.The Vargas Girl set is already in the main shop.
Nic is hugging with this cute bear. Her love in disguise? Who knows!? May be they played and she covered him with all the snow, like we do with sand on the beach.
Nic's outfit (the skirt, belt, the gloves, top and fur jacket) is from amias at Shiny Shabby. The parts are available in a gacha. The tops, shirts, short gloves, belts and skirts are the commons in many colors. You can win one color of something. The fur jackets and long gloves are the Rares.
Nic's hair is new at Uber from MINA. Cute vintage style in my opinion. With hud for two colors for the pearls and you can chose the brightness and shine and whisp or not.You can also wear the hair without the pearls.
Nic is wearing skin Aqua from 7 Deadly s[K]ins. One of my favorites. The fringe booties are oldies from Nic's inventory from REIGN. but i think still available. Raccoons from TLC and Mutresse. The bear is from CHEZ MOI.

lots of snow

I hope you had  beautiful Christmas. The day after Christmas Nic is walking at this snowy sim called Ponto Cabana. Still a bit in Christmas sphere with her halo with stars bringing light into the darkness.
Nic is wearing a dress from the Christmas presents at the Cosmopolitans Sales Room from Rapture. Because of the cold she is wearing her stole from a lingerie set at E-Clipse. The texture of the dress is a bit suede in my opinion. It's a beauty. Nic's hair and shoes are from Collabor88. Hair from Sintiklia with a styling hud. The shoes from Equal cosy and warm. Nic's skin is a release from 7 Deadly s[K]ins at the Dubai Event. I found there under the Christmas tree the halo, the choker and the nails. You can grab more presents there. The broken lips are from the hunt at Cubic Cherry. Told about it in the post before this one.

Christmas Circus

☆

Click small picture to enlarge

In the country where i live is in the  city of Rotterdam every year a big Christmas Circus. So it wasn't a strange idea for Christmas to make a circus post. I took the items from the second gacha from :::UNA::: at the Arcade ( Dec 31st). It's a collaboration with Dagger Rainier ( from the shop [Insurrektion]. The dress is gorgeous for circus. You see Nic near the entrance of the circus tent. Trying to get visitors and welcome them. The cart with the food is also attractive to get visitors. The cart is part of the gacha as well as some masks ( see one in her hand). In the decor i placed items from Nic's inventory fitting in a circus. The circlets and the line for acrobatics are from a gacha from unKindness. The cats doing exercises are in a set from Cubic Cherry Kre-ations. Got it as a gift i think. I went to the shop and found in a hunt there nice blushes and winter lips. Search a blue star. The circus cart is from Mudhoney from a gacha.

it's a cold winter without you

It's a cold winter without you. Sitting near the covered bridge from CHEZ MOI she is thinking about you. You can see how cold she is. She needs your arms around her. Although it's cold and she is missing you the spot is perfect with a view over the water and with the hot chocolate.
Her new mood jacket from EVIE will keep her warm. It's called a mood jacket because you get a hud with all sorts of mood texts for on the sweater. I chose Drama Queen, but no she isn't a drama queen at all, most of the times! And certainly not now!
You also can wear the jacket without the sweater. Nic is wearing this on the Fifty Linden Friday pants from OSMIA. Still available today!The shoes are from TheBeautifulOnes (TBO), a Darkness event exclusive for the month December. The skin is the skin Linnea from 7 Deadly s[K]ins at the Sense Event (15th December - January 8th). I used the winter blush from Izzies for the cold effect (old gift)
The covered bridge is available with and without snow. Useful for different season's. Perfect for landscaping at your sim or piece of land. I placed several bridges behind each other.

going nuts on ugly Chirstmas sweater day

☆

Click  small picture to enlarge

Today it's National Ugly Christmas Sweater day in the USA. A day of light hearted fun. A possibility  to be not that buttoned up corporate version of yourself. You can relax in the ugliest Christmas Sweater that you can find. A funny tradition .. and here in Holland we do that more and more.
I thought " a SL Fashionista can't go always stylish". So here you see Nic in her Ugly Christmas Sweater. This sweater with attached skirt has lights. It is from  the Kiyomizu hunt in the Kiyomizu shopping mall. The sweater is from Frangipani Garden ( *FG*). You need find a black cat. The hunt is sometimes also in a main shop. I saw this for example at the M*Motion shop. You get a nice bomber jacket there. Nic is wearing her boots from #Empire from last weekends Fifty Linden Friday. Showed already here . I also got nice boots from the Advent calendar at Vanilla Bae at December 19th. I hope you can still get the boots when you come later. Those boots i couldn't show because they came through the skirt. Nic is wearing a skin from 7 Deadly s[K]ins. The skin Manuela is available at FitMesh Plaza. 50%  discount event Dec 1 - Dec 31. The discount items are changed every 7 days. I hope this skin is 50% off.
Nic's hair is this weekends Fifty Linden Friday item from Exile. 4 colors in the

In the decor are flying snowflakes from [CIRCA]. From the advent calendar day 6. Every day from Dec 1 to Dec 24th [CIRCA] is  offering a new advent item (upto 4 per day) in a numbered square. Join the  [CIRCA] Living - Christmas Advents (in-world).  It's FREE to new members now. The large advent wall tree is near the inside entrance of the store.  You must wear the appropriate group tag to buy the contents of each square, except for $0 surprises on certain days.  Each item will be $1 - $75 for any given day in the advent tree.  Sometimes there will be bonus squares on certain surprise days for an extra gift or colour variation for group members, so don't miss those. On the Eve of Dec 24th the group will be closed, so who remains as a member will receive the final gift on Dec 25th.  An example of the items will be nearby the advent tree for you to view.  As the days go on, more decorations will be seen displayed.  Advent days are open for a rolling 2-3 days at a time, so you can catch up another day when you didn't had the opportunity to go the advent day.
The Christmas tree, Christmas jewel mini tree, is from day 2. I am sorry i couldn't inform you earlier. I got all the info yesterday. But there are still days to come.

The pose with the little critters is from ::Wet Cat:: from Christmas 2017. Six bento poses also now very cute.

In the clouds means: "not in contact with reality". But in Holland it has the meaning that you are very happy with something. Nic is for sure sometimes in the clouds with her head. She loves daydreaming. But this time it's the Dutch meaning that i want use. Today i heard that i am in the bloggers group from Serenity Style. That was always one of my wishes. I love the style of the shop. Thanks so much Hans Inshan for accepting me.
For you readers, it means that i can show you often nice new releases from that shop. I show you now this winter stall. No i didn't  make the stall of Bethlehem with it. You can do that for example. I made a cosy place in the winter clouds. The stall comes with the candle houses and the wooden stars. It is the exclusive prize from Serenity Style for the December round of MadPea Alliance Hunt, a new exclusive game for MadPea Premium members group. This month the theme is "White Winter". Find the snowflakes and return them to the wood where they belong. The hunt is running from 5th- 31st of December. Every month they bring a new hunt involving ten fabulous designers from across the grid. Visit the MadPea premium store here and purchase your MadPea Premium membership ( bronze , silver or gold) and enjoy your priviliges and start hunting. More info here.

The happy Santa figure is a gift at Apple Fall. You get the Santa in four colors.  The hangings stars with lights are a gift at the Arcade from [Glitzz]. The lil gnomes  and the holiday tray are also a gifts from under the Christmas tree at the Arcade.

After the blowing of glow kisses, Nic went sitting on the fence to smoke a cigarette and drink her tea bubble mocca. Cold!
