New Release ~ Dining Rooms & Kitchens ~ Oh and a new booster seat!



So I've been looking around at ~*Cozy Essentials*~ and all I could do was hang my head in shame.  So many of the items are outdated and needing updating.  So I basically walked around the store and started deleting.  I did save the boxes and I will be starting up a ~*Cozy Bargain Barn*~ for those who are looking for a deal.  Details on that to follow in the next few weeks.

So last week I worked on some new sofa sets with all new animations and some of the most adorable cuddles I have found in SL.  Since then I've been working on some new kitchens and dining rooms.  All these kitchens and dining rooms have animations for adults and children.  This release in the dining rooms you will find one chair has a booster seat for the kids.  They should fit both child avatar and tiny avatar and hide when not in use.



I have also made a separate booster seat for anyone who would like to add it to any dining room chairs they may already have.  They are texture change and have eight different textures to choose from.  The ones in the new chairs, are connected so they will move in and out with the chair.


I have also had many requests for the ~*Cozy Up Benchseat*~, so I have made them in several different woods and textures.

I have enclosed all the ads of the new sets.  All sets will be marked down 50% for the first three days, so make sure to stop by and check them out before the price goes up.

I hope you enjoy the new sets, they were truly a larbour of love!  :oP

The meaning of Second Life .... is there one?


So I was sitting around talking to my sisters about what they think the meaning of Second Life is ... Robin says, to be abused and generally screwed over?  Eva on the other hands has no idea.  I think Eva's purpose in Second Life is to keep the general economy moving.  Which she does very well by the way. 

Turning to my thoughts, that is a very difficult question to answer.  For me it's about creativity, spending time with the people I have grown to love and admire.  There has been so many changes over the years, so many people that have come and gone.  Many of them I will never forget and there several I wish I had never met.


These two ladies are amongst what I would consider true friends.  They don't put on any fault pretense to impress anyone.  I know that when I meet them in person, it will be just the same as sitting down and having a coffee together in Second Life.

Other people in Second Life, pretend to be what you want them to be.  Secure and confident, when in fact they are the exact opposite and instead of recognizing their weakness and attempting to correct their issues they blame everyone else.  This is what I refer to as master manipulators, people who downright lie to you about anything from their real sex (male/female), to lying about their true feelings about you.  Unfortunately any kind of deception makes the entire relationship based on lies and lies are never a good foundation for a relationship.

I have watched with amusement for many years people partner, unpartner, repartner, fall in love in a week, have big beautiful weddings only to break up within a day or two.  Does being in a virtual world mean that you can turn your feelings on and off without feelings or regrets?  For some the answer to that question is yes, for anyone with a conscience, no.  If feelings are true, there is no switch to turn them off.  It's a process, like losing a loved one, eventually it just doesn't hurt quite so much, but that pain will never quite go away completely.

Just something to muse ...

~*The Cozy Isla*~
So on the weekend my daughter Isla says to me, so Mommy where are you going to put your new furniture.  I laugh and say the Cozy Essentials store.  She just shakes her head at me and say no.  You need to build a new house.  Oh do I?  So after a few minutes of search for ideas with came up with this. 


It's a beautiful one bedroom house with a vaulted ceiling with windows in the upper part to let extra light.


The new benchseat that I made fits perfectly along the wall in the kitchen/eating area.


The bedroom is spacious and has lots of room with a large adjoining bathroom.



I hope you will all stop by and check it out.

~*Cozy Cuddles*~ Family Friendly Beds

Hey all,

So it's finally done!  Yes the ~*Cozy Cuddles*~ Family Friendly Bed is finally ready.  After months of getting just the right animations and much hair loss (from pulling it out), I have come up with a totally awesome bed (I hope you will all agree).  There are over 170 animations in the bed, there are animations in the bed posts for adult avatars, there are cuddles in the back pillows for adults, the front pillows are for parents and child, large pillow for Daddy, medium pillow for Mommy and small pillow for baby bear, oops that Goldilocks! LOL Well it works :o).  There are single animations for 3 additional children in the white pillows in front of the shams and also in the blanket at the foot of the bed.  Simply hold your cursor over the item you want to use, right click and sit, touch it again for the menu.
I have attached some pictures, but to see the different styles you need to tp to the store and see them in person.

I know everyone has been so patient about this release and for this reason, I'm releasing it for $1000L, which is half the price it will be after this special.  You have three days to come and pick one out.  I hope you love it as much as I do.

Back from MIA!

So yesterday I got reminded that I haven't blogged in awhile!  You see, I've been very busy enjoying the beautiful weather.  So sad that summer is slowly drawing to an end.  In a few more weeks all the kids will be back in school, the air will get a little cooler and the leaves with begin to change colours.  I can't wait to pull out the pumpkins and ghosts, slip into a sweater and go outside and enjoy the cooler weather.

Although I haven't been around much, I am still working on some new releases.  I thought I'd share some pictures with you.

Here is the new kitchen I've been working on.
A new lamp and entertainment shelves that give wine and crackers.
Low prim dining room

Yay! A new bench!
New Simplicity Hutch

A new low prim couch that I'm working on.
Tali also came up with the idea of making a baby making quilt!  I went out and found a bunch of new animations like the one in this couch.  You are going to love it!

So as you can see lots to look forward to, just had to tease you with a sneak preview of things to come.

Also this weekend I have put all the Cozy Homes on sale for 50% off, so if there is one that you just can't live without, make sure to stop by this weekend and grab it.
