Bye for now!
The time for me to pack up my computer is rapidly approaching, I have so much to do & so little time left to do it so I won't be around very much between now & next week. After next week it will be toward the end of March when I will(hopefully) be back.Thanks to everyone for downloading my creations, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you all.
I've also had a lot of support & made a lot of friends since I had the good fortune to stumble across this site a year ago & I will miss all of you especially (and in no particular order) DragonessGirl, milanokat, sesame, walkerboh rumour, Valgrida, cariadbach, gvisn, hiedibear75, drewsoltesz & ameldacousins. Thanks you guys, you've made my visits here enjoyable.
See you all later
I'm so excited.
Not only is it my birthday on the 5th but yesterday my flights to the Oman were confirmed as well. I will be jetting off to my new life in the sun on the 17th March, I can't wait.PANIC!!! I only have 3 weeks left to pack up the rest of my house, my hubby is leaving 2 weeks before me so we have to hand our house over at the end of Feburary, then Sam & I will be moving in with my parents for a couple of weeks.
I don't think I'll be doing many more creations (if any) between now & when I move, we will see.
Woohoo
My problem is solved, it looks like I picked up a bad cookie in my browser, anyway it's all cleared so it's buisiness as usual for a while at least.Have fun
***Important Note About Green PJ Hat***
Well stupid here has made a booboo. I uploaded the wrong item for the Green Paws PJ Hat with Red Hair, I put the Purple Hat with Red Hair under the Purple & green Hat headings and it was kindly pointed out to me today.It is now fixed & the correct download is up so please download the Green PJ Hat with Red Hair again.
I'm really sorry for any problems this caused & I accept all tellings off with grace. :)
No More Creations!
I'm having big problems with the submission system at the moment. Basically I can't upload any sets, when I do I get a message saying the set isn't mine & then the system removes every item from that set. It is also happening when I try to edit sets that I have already uploaded. I have sent a support issue on it & am now waiting to hear back, how long that will be....well your guess is as good as mine.So my submitting of creations has come to an end a lot earlier than I thought it would. Hopefully it'll be sorted before my computer gets packed away for the Oman, if not then you won't see any submissions from me until the end of March.
So for the one person that's eagerly awaiting the release of all my Pyjama & Hat sets I'm afraid you're gonna be in for a long wait. I managed to upload the first set & that is released on the 12th Jan, I don't know when I will be able to put the rest up, which really disappoints me as I've spent a long time on them all & can't share them with you.
All I can say is watch this space.

First Clothing Project.
I've been toying with the idea of trying my hand at skinning for a while now & last week I finally plucked up the courage to give it a go. Needless to say I've made a few disasters, but am now (fingers crossed) slowly getting the hang of it. My first project has turned into a huge one & I'm now begining to wonder why I ever started, I've been recolouring Maxis Cubbie Paws Kids Pj's from FFs, I really like the textures Maxis used but have always been really disappointed with the lack of colours, for me one colour in each texture just wasn't enough. So I've done 4 more recolours for each of the Maxis textures, that's 16 PJ's in total. Then I thought 'hey why not do the hats too'.....big mistake, I quickly realised I would have to recolour a hat for every hair colour, that's 64 hats, now my little experiment has turned into a huge huge huge project. Anyway to cut a long story short, I've done them all, I'm now in the middle of sorting out screenshots for them (that's taken me a day so far) & when they're all done I have the big dilema of how I'm gonna upload it all, still I'll cross that bridge when i come to it. Here's a sneak preview of a couple for you. All hats are in the correct hair colour bins & the hats & Pj's are all unisex.The big pack.
Well it's started.....weeks & weeks of stress, house full of boxes & getting emptier everyday, mess & mayhem everywhere. Our first lot of boxes go on the 11th of January, we started packing just before Christmas day as my Hubby has got to go to Salisbury on the 1st January to do his Arabic language course, he'll be there for 5 weeks so I have the pleasure of all the packing.....lucky me!I will still be doing a little creating, especially when I need a break from it all but unfortunatly RL is my priority, my poor Sims are gonna feel so neglected LOL.
I hope you all had a really lovely Christmas.
Leaving the country
It was confirmed yesterday that we're moving house, well not just moving house but moving Continents.:)My hubby has been posted overseas with his job, so in March 08 we will be swapping the rainy shores of Britain for the sunny climate of The Middle East, which means that sometime in Feb 08 my computer will be boxed up & shipped off to The Oman.
That will be the end of playing The Sims & creating for a while, for exactly how long I don't know. It will probably take my PC 8-12 weeks to get there, so it will be a good few months. :(
