I'm Home!

I'm finally back home were I belong. Egypt was beautiful but there is nothing like home :)

My mother was also released from the hospital last Friday and is safely at home as well.

I am taking it easy today and settling into being home but I will start on the dusty requests I have been putting off tomorrow. Until those are done I will not be accepting anymore request, there are already so many.

Also I noticed an email from an UK sims site asking to be affiliates, I seem to have accidentally deleted your email, please contact be again because I would be happy to be affiliates with you :)

I haven't gone through the pictures yet but here is on my bf uploaded to facebook shortly after we arrived:

My Sim Personality

My Sim Personality

Score (0-10)	Personality Dimension
6	Neat (vs. Sloppy) Neat, tidy Sims typically enjoy cleaning up the house or grooming themselves in front of a mirror. There's always something to be done around the house and they'll more often than not be found doing it; great for a house, but it can tire Sims out. With their constant disregard of cleanliness and hygiene, sloppy Sims are content to simply "be." They tend to enjoy just about anything that doesn't require planning or cleaning up on their part.
4	Outgoing (vs. Shy) Outgoing Sims are likely to jump headfirst into any situation. Charm and confidence are their best traits and when they're in a friendly mood they enjoy group activities most of all. Keep an eye on these characters, though; outgoing Sims can be too brash, and others aren't always so impressed. Introspective and quiet, shy Sims often think about the world around them and write in their diaries rather than actually interact with anyone. It may be harder to break out of their shells, but if shy Sims take the time to get to know others they'll be delighted by the social world awaiting them.
5	Active (vs. Lazy) Active Sims are almost always on the move but need a lot of food and sleep to keep up their hectic pace. They're apt to be happiest while breaking a sweat, an exhausting idea to most other Sims. An active Sim will usually get more enjoyment from watching sports on TV than reading a book. Lazy Sims have been known to veg out on the couch for hours on end, so naturally, they don't need much sleep to sustain their constant lazying. They still enjoy socializing wiht other Sims and can be persuaded to get out of the house once in a while.
5	Playful (vs. Serious) Playful Sims are more likely to find entertainment and fun in the world around them; they tend to be more curious than any other Sim. They may have a lighthearted nature, but they can wear themselves out with their antics, as well as get on their fellow Sim's nerves. Serious, quiet, thoughtful Sims are more inclined to enjoy logic puzzles and good conversation, but they don't respond too well to chaos or silly behavior. Repairing broken items or working on an important project can keep serious Sims content.
8	Nice (vs. Grouchy) Encouraging and generous, nice Sims tend to be easy to get along with and very positive. They'll listen to what other Sims have to say whether it's interesting or not and clean up after dirty roommates. If they don't watch out though, other Sims may take advantage of their good nature. Grouchy Sims, despite their sour mood, can still be social creatures. They'll probably enjoy teasing a Sim as much as telling a joke. They don't seem to mind when other Sims overreact and they like playing a game as much as anyone else, but be warned: they tend to be sore losers.

Sad News

I mentioned on tumblr a few days ago that I was trying to get my mother a doctors appointment with my doctor. When my doctor refused to see her I found her one closer to her house and they sent her to the hospital today.

She was admitted this afternoon with pulmonary edema and cardiac pulmonary failure. She is doing good and in high spirits. It’s really scary to see your mother like that in the hospital and having to leave her there when visiting hours are over. Tomorrow they are going to remove some fluid from her lungs to help her breath and have a cat scan done to make sure there is nothing hiding in there causing the fluid to build up like it is.

I would like to ask everyone who can to please donate and help us pay for her medical bills. She does not have insurance and even with all of us who can help, it will probably be way more then we can handle alone. I will personally thank everyone who donates if you leave your name and send you a special gift as soon as I can if you like.

This would mean a lot to me and my family.

Donate

Any little bit helps.

Any request I am currently working on will probably be delayed until things calm down here.

I made myself a Simblr a while ago but I never posted anything. I acutally used it more as a stalker tool (kind of like my LJ account) then anything else. But I finally decided to post something. 

You can check it out if you like. I will be posting random sim related pictures there.

Anon, who ever you are, thank you for making my day!

Now I am all giddy inside :)

I guess I will be kind in return and show a little WIP I am doing. It was requested over at CBS:

I am still working on clutter to go with it and OMSPs but it is a kids art table. I made it out of a dining table so more then one can sit and "work" on it and it is slightly larger then a 1x1 table. Comes with matching chair! ;)

I'm still a live!

I'm feel a little burnt out after finishing all the Advent Gifts and Participation prizes for CBS. I really cannot find the inspiration right now to do much of anything regarding my computer. I get on my computer in the mornings (ahem...afternoon) and do what I need to for the forum and then go about my other daily chores around the house. I only come back to the computer after supper when the BF has gone to bed. It's not that I am that busy I just can't find the will to come back at work on something. I guess I used all of my inspiration for now.

There is many things a still want to do such as recolor some of Anye's new meshes, make some more winter-ish clothing, mess around in milkshape, and of course I would love to sit and play sims, be it sims 2 or medieval...but at this point the will is not strong enough. 

I hope that when the holidays die down and life gets back to normal my drive will come back and I will start doing the things that are sitting in my head waiting. But for now I don't know when my next download will be (unless you go over to CBS and check out the Advent Gifts I made).

In other news I received some very exciting information about a week ago. After 11+ long years and thousands of euros I am officially a Dutch resident. They finally couldn't find a reason to say no anymore. This is something I have dreamt of for so many years. To finally be part of a society in a country I have called home for almost 12 years. It excites me so much to know that my life can finally move forward. I still need to receive an invitation to pick up the documents but that is just paperwork.

Also my mother told me about a book series she read when she was my age that she thought I would be interested in. It is called the Earth's Children Series. I looked into it and it does look interesting. I have found all the books and they are waiting for me to read them. I haven't had time to read in the past month or so but I am hoping to crack them open soon.

Well I really just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't dropped off the face of the planet. I'm still a live and kicking :)

You can follow me on Facebook or Twitter if you want to know what I am up too. I will try to post there on a more regular basis. You can find the links in the menu bar.

Have a great day/afternoon/night and I hope to see you soon.

I am working on some recolors for a participarion prize for the Winter Wonderland Scavenger Hunt and I will probably make one more prize for the Holly Jolly B-A-C I am preparing but then I should be back to normal with my uploads here.

Anyway...

Make sure you check out this years CBS Advent Calender. There will be new gifts every Sunday until the New Year!

I hope to see you there!

(P.S - If you don't want to visit CBS then you can expect my gifts to be uploaded here around March/April 2012)

How I Add Details - Jeans

I was asked how I made the details on my jeans so I decided I would make a small tutorial explaining how I did it. (Examples: Ninguid, Sternutation, and Callipygian)

I'm not actually making clothing in this tutorial but mainly showing the steps I take while detailing my creations. Here I am showing jean details but this could be used for much more. Click the images to enlarge it and get a clearer view of the details.

First you need to pick your texture. I am using a jean texture I made using the method in this tutorial. You can get it here (png on a transparent background).

Select your texture by choosing your "pattern" option.

 Then fill the texture in using the flood fill tool and adjust to your liking (opacity/angle/size).

Using the color changing option I am going to make it a color I like.

Now I am going to add the stitching. I will show a seam, back pocket, and front pocket here.

Make a new layer and select which areas you want to make stitching.

Then using the flood fill tool color it in to a color of your liking.

 Time to start on the shadows.

Using the drop shadow tool I am going to place a shadow (at offset: 0x0 and attributes: opacity  75, blur 2, color black, and check the box to place the shadow on a new layer) of the stitching itself.

Next I am going to select the area I am going to make the seams.

Using the drop shadow tool again I am going to use the same settings and drop a shadow twice.

 By now you can tell it is already looking like jeans but I still like to add a few more touches.

Selecting the burn too1 I am going to add a little depth to the sides of the pants a long the seams and by the pockets to help them look a little more 3d.

First the seams. All I do is set the setting to something I like. Then I am going to go along the seams, on the back ground layer, making them slightly darker.

Then moving on the the front pockets I am going to follow the inside curve.

I then repeat the last step using a slightly smaller sized brush staying closer the stitching.

You can carry on doing this until you are happy with the out come but for the most part that is it.

Lastly I flatten all the layers and sharpen the image.

I hope this was helpful.

WIP Update + A Little Book Chatter

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I have been working on a Halloween Set which is just about done. I wanted to give y'all a little peek at it. So far it has a total of  nine meshes and a few recolors. I have one more mesh in mind then it is off to make recolors. I'm thinking it should be done why early next week. 

(BTW: The shadow under the apples has been fixed :))

On other news I finally finished a book I started in Rome. It was called Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I really enjoyed the pictures (which is why I started reading to begin with) but the story went down hill in the second half. Still an ok book though. 

I also began Forgotten by Cat Patrick and finished it within 24 hours. It was one of those books you just couldn't put down. I loved it.

The next book I plan on reading is The Locket by Stacey Jay. It looks interesting enough and should be a good read.

I love to read and really should do it more. It relaxes me and helps clear my mind. I think I get it from my mother (who I remember always having a book on her night stand when I was growing up, usually something Stephen King). My BF says I can't possibly read that much in a day (any amount more then 10 pages...) and that I must be skipping words, but I honestly just enjoy being engulfed in the words and losing all sense of time. 

I think I will set a goal to read a little every day. Though knowing me I will end up reading way more then just a little.

Anyway I am just babbling while I wait for something to load. I will stop now and go make dinner :)

Have a great evening!

A Live And Kicking!

I'm back from my trip and boy did I have a blast! I have a ton of pictures which I will post on the Junk Trunk fan page on face book (link at the bottom of page) when I have time. 

Since getting back I have been relaxing and enjoy the time I have left with my boyfriend before he goes back to work on Monday. 

I have a lot of ideas going through my head for the Bath Deco I have been working on so I think I will get back to working on that. Still not sure how many meshes the set will consist of so yeah it might not be out for a while.
