New Hood project

Astoundingly, I just now stumbled upon this blog feature. I always assumed you had to spend kudos to get it, but couldn't figure out why the blog feature wasn't in the kudo store!.

I know a handful of you have bookmarked me so I thought it would be in order to mention that I'm coming up for air with my castle & mansion series and exploring some variations on a Victorian / Mansard theme. The new building tools & objects in M & G lend to some really grat looking buildings!  I've called it Glen Eden, the namesake of which is taken from an actual estate that used to be owned by friends of my grandparents. It's located right next to an enchanting little clusted of cotteges called Glenora, situated on the west side of Seneca Lake of the Fingerlakes in Upstate New York. I'm not sure Glenore is even on the map but if you find Penn Yan, go south-east-east to the lake and there you have it.

The sim Glen Eden will have a number of residences, businesses, community, and institutuinal lots...I hope. That is if I can maintain interest in it, and if human existence doesn't bear down too heavily on me with the warmer weather coming. Two things I consistantly struggle with. I already have 7 houses and 1 community lot designed. I just have to do the interiors which comes harder for me than the exteriors.

And yes, I will return to the castles at some point, but they are so danged complicated I just need to do some lighter stuff. You other artist types will be able to relate.
