Some random noodles for supper

We finished decorating our land for Autumn and I do so love all the colors and the country charm to the place. I love the house, don't get me wrong, but we're more about the outdoors, so there's lots of room to run around and spots to sit and enjoy the view. I post most pics on Facebook, but I'll put a few here that I've kind of spruced up a bit for personal use, in world.

The house: We both fell in love with this home the moment that we laid eyes on it. The house sat quite perfectly in our vision of what we wanted for fall and while we also have our winter home picked out, it's possible that we'll transition this home, in the place of. Though, you never know. We can't ever seem to stick with one place for more than a few months, at most, no matter how much we love it.

This one, I didn't dress up. I was too lazy to make a nice horizontal layout for the blog. I'll do that at some point, just not this point. Our screened in back porch. Really nice for keeping out those pesky mosquitoes and what have you. I put a rug under the rocking chairs after I took this pic, but Jamie had gone into the kitchen to whip up an apple pie or something, so I didn't get to retake the shot. I don't think it matters, anyway. Or perhaps it does. Perhaps it bugs me more than it should. It's such a lovely rug.
And a nice view of the wheat crop.

This kind of house screamed for something extra. So we got dogs. Mine is the Great Dane, which I've named Dude and Jamie's is the Bloodhound, named Rosco. Though these things were more expensive than I ever care to admit to spending on virtual dogs, they're well worth it. They have pathfinding abilities and tons of tricks that you can get them to do, along with teaching them new tricks that you define for yourself. Plus, they're just damned cute. Esp. when they're fetching balls and other toys that you can get them to bring to you. I did learn, however, that you can get the smaller pets to jump on you and attach themselves to you so that you can pack them around. I'm trying hard to resist the urge to go blow more money for a bunch of cats. We have enough cats in real life. -.-

Here's where the random comes in. Mini coupe sparring. This shit is legit.

And last, but not least, my new avatar. I know. It's amazing.

The End.

Way back in a holler, somewhere. . .

The thing with Second Life is that it's potentially soooooooooooooo distracting. Actually, forget potentially, it is distracting. For me, someone with ADHD, it's even worse. So much to do, so little time. Is it any wonder that my shop suffers?
In any event, I did finally get around to making something and I only managed to do it because I wanted to wear some things from my IMVU shop on Second Life.
(IMVU shop link here: http://www.imvu.com/shop/web_search.php?manufacturers_id=4029542) Never you mind if you've never heard of IMVU; most SLers that I know haven't and couldn't care less about the place if they have. I'm mentioning it only for the fact that if anyone does happen to be familiar with my shop over there, I don't want to wake up to a bunch of messages on either site, telling me about someone copying my products on the other site. I'm Poe on IMVU and Poe Cross on SL and I will be doing products from either shop on the other. Just so you know.
Anywho.
New this week is Foster shorts w/garter socks. Shorts are rigged mesh, five sizes available. Garter socks are texture, non-mesh, and comes in two colors: black and white. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/7madRavens-Foster-Shorts-wgarter-socks/5200060

Also available is this shirt. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/7madRavens-Im-Fine-Tee/5200004

Last, but not least, is the Guyronic shirt with a texture changing HUD that gives you a seven in one shirt. That means you can wear a different design for each day of the week and never take off your shirt. It's the lazy man's shirt. We all have those weeks, some of us more than others.

Now you have to listen to a song. Because I said so. And you'll like it.

A romp through our backyard. We're easily amused, what can I say?

Bridging the gap

Jamie dug through his inventory until this bridge fell out and magically connected two mountain peaks on our land. Then we had to stand on it a good fifteen minutes and stare at ourselves. It happens. -.-

My Pup

Tonight, I took Nick's soul and turned him into a hybrid vampire/werewolf. Here, you can see him in his werewolf form. Handsome lil' pup, isn't he? I'm quite impressed with him and it's the one time when I've actually felt rather protective over anyone I've turned (apart from Jamie). I'm all proud Papa Wolf and shit. It's kind of cool.
I'm loving this wolf avatar, too. It's got a ferociousness to it that'll be good for our battles, along with all sorts of nifty AO enhancements that will come in handy. Okay, Jamie's distracting me and I've forgotten everything that I was going to add here. In any event. AaaaooOOOOOOWWWwwwwwww. G'night.

In hindsight. . .

We might have looked more impressive, had we not been standing in the field of flowers behind our home. Nevertheless, we stand.

I seriously do suck at titles

New item from 7mad;Ravens and it comes in the form of leather. We all like leather, don't we? Well, you should.
Wayward leather cuff set is a 100% original mesh, created by my partner, Jamie Cross, and textured by my rough, dirty hands. So yeah, they're a bit smudged, but that's alright. We'll all live if we get a little dirt on us. Reminds me of a little saying my mother used to tell me when I'd drop food on the floor. 'God made dirt, dirt won't hurt. Put it in your mouth and see how it works'.
I was perfectly okay with eating dirty food before then, but having her lil' rhyme to excuse my sometimes not so cleanly eating habits was a bit reassuring to me, as a young lad, I suppose. Thankfully, I don't drop nearly as much food now and if I did, we own seven cats, so I'm sure I wouldn't be fast enough to pick it back up and pop it in my mouth.
I suppose I should get to the point of this post, which is to show off these cuffs. Available on the Marketplace, only, because my store's still being designed and built, so yeah.
You can pick 'em up, here. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/7madRavens-Wayward-Leather-Cuff-Set/5095452

Spent the day riding with Jamie and Nick (see his blog here: House of Tatt3d). We were attacked by zombies and diseased worms. Am I sure that I left IMVU? *scratches head*

Aaaand the day's theme song for you fuckers.

Home Sweet Home

Though this is a blog for our store, I also want it to be of 'us', if you know what I mean. About our Second Life. Even the mundane shit. Like this.
Jamie's knitting me a scarf. I hope he doesn't really expect me to wear it. I mean. . .I love you, baby. *shifty eyes*

Gift Boxes are a wonderful thing

Jamie (my RL and SL partner) finished the gift box for the store today and I'm all kinds of excited about it. Look at it. Just looooook at it. *stares*

I'm so proud of him. He's came such a long way with learning to build and mesh. Right now, he's working on putting my favorite cuffs that he made for me in IMVU into SL and I'm looking forward to putting those onto my avatar.
In other news, I've had a fresh mess of green beans cooking in the crock pot  all night with some red potatoes and onions and the smell of them is completely distracting me from much of anything else. It's perfectly alright to have green beans for breakfast, right?

Grease Monkey

7mad:Ravens on the Marketplace is finally open. Paving the way is the Greaser line for men.  It's a lot of greasy, a lot of dirty. Shows you've been working all day and the ladies do love a man with a job.
100% Mesh, so grab the demos to try the fit on your avatar, before purchasing. New to mesh? Make sure you have a mesh enabled viewer, else you won't see mesh properly. Make sure to wear your alphas (choose add, in the stead of wear, so you can layer those babies on).
The Greaser line has two shades of jeans, black and blue, both comes with grease rag for the back pocket and there is a texture changing HUD with seven different textures for it.
There are also two tanks, a black and white, available. Check the pics below, then head on to the 7mad;Ravens store to buy, if you like what you see.
