Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope everyone has had as wonderful a Christmas as I have thus far, minus the amount of travel. You all may actually get a Thistle legacy update in the next couple of days depending on how much time I am able to get on the computer! :)

My real life Christmas tree after we first decorated it.

To follow or not to follow....*hides head ashamed*

On a semi-real life problem. My old best friend who even though I don't get to see her much anymore I still pretty much consider a best friend, is preggers with twins! :) Yay! She and many other of my friends and colleagues are preggers too. You may remember me mentioning that my hubby and I have been trying to get preggers for quite a while now to not much avail and its bittersweet to be surrounded by all these pregnant women. Anyway, she has a very cute blog here on blogger (it's private because she's that way) and I'm following it anonymously but she did invite me on there and I'd like to follow it publicly so that she's not thinking I'm ignoring her but my blogger account and email is of course connected to this blog and all of the other simming-related things I follow so I'm reluctant and a bit embarrassed.....*hangs head, shamed of being embarrassed too* No one around me knows about my simming, much less my stories and such other than my husband (and he makes fun of me about it and shakes his head)....so I'm not really sure what to do. It's a dirty little secret. I can't really create a new google account because my e-mail has been my e-mail for years and years. I'm sure she'd look on my profile if I did follow it publicly because she's bored and on strict bedrest...But I'm also not willing to give up my blog and story and what little bit of time I get to spend on it I enjoy. Of course with Cataclysm out my husband has usurped our main PC that has sims on it and I haven't been able to sim anyway. Anyway....I'll figure something out I guess. Suggestions welcome.

I was feeling productive today

So along with the other chapter, the sammich and the pie, here is a wonderfully new chapter.

Chapter 4

A New Chapter and a Sandwich

A new chapter can be found here------> Tadaaaaa




And here is a sammich for poida....

And a pie....mmmmmm

A Berry Cute Simmie for your Collection

I finally got a chance to play for a few minutes this am and I chose (somewhat shamefully) to play Flutter in Briocheport...so here are some cute pics and a link to my berry-sweet-simself's first born in game child in Briocheport.

and you can make him your own here

I know I know...You thought I had been eated by taco kitty

Sorry to have been gone for so long but I've not been feeling well and work is trying to kill me. So have not had much time to play or upload photos. However I have a new chapter for you, and am working on uploading pics right now. I don't think I'll be able to put out another chapter today because I have to work tonight and tomorrow night but I'll aim for this weekend. I'll also try to get caught up on everyone else's blog sometime then too.

Hope you guys enjoy the chapter and just keep in mind, good things come to those who wait. Au Revoir!

Generation 3 Chapter 2

Thinking about a new browser...suggestions

I'm thinking about trying out Google Chrome. I've been using Mozilla Firefox up until now but I've heard Google Chrome is the shiznizz so any thoughts?? I've also heard good things from a coworker about Opera (??) but I had never heard of it before now.

In the meantime...has a LOL cat tacokitty

As promised...except o_o

One really long chapter...maybe a new one tomorrow when I'm not so tired. Zumba toning class kicked my butt today and I'm running on "E".

Generation 3- Chapter 1!!!!

YAY! :)

Happy Belated Halloween...new chapters on their way :)

Yes that's right, I said chapterS. Plural. At least 2.

Uploading pics now and changing some writing around, meanwhile enjoy my luverly haunted gingerbread house my hubby and I made :)

Flutterberry in Bridgeport: Welcome to Late Night

So I'm so excited that I was able to get LN last night. It's awesome so far. I'd thought maybe some of you guys would want to see what Flutterberry is up to in Bridgeport. (Also if anyone knows why my UI mode and nondefault skintones are not showing up in CAS let me know. Also the new sliders don't show up for these sims)

Flutter Berry decided to try on some of the new clothes available, not wanting to be out of style when she arrived in Bridgeport.

 Once she had decided on an everyday look, she took a cab to her new address in a beautiful high rise appartment building overlooking the city. She was understandably a little overwhelmed.

 Having never ridden in an elevator before, she stubbled out and gasped as she looked at her new appartment

 It was very modern and she felt that it represented her lifetime wish of becoming a superstar celebrity.

 Some of her new neighbors came over to great her including Deborah Jones and her husband but they tuned into Flutter's TV and tuned her out!

 Rude.

 A few days later, Flutter was to start her new job at the school until something came open within the acting field. She met her employer but the two didn't exactly hit it off.

She decided as she climbed exhausted into the elevator and made her way home that she would change into something fun and go out for a drink.

 

When she arrived at the hotspot club for the night, she found her way barricaded by a red velvet rope.
"But don't you know who I am?!?" she exclaimed, "I'm the famous Flutter Berry!"
" Never heard of you," the bouncer said nonchalantly as he pushed his sunglasses up farther on the bridge of his nose.

Dejected but not ready to head home for the night, Flutter went to a small dive where she found herself surprised to have an Asparagus Spears look-alike sitting right next to her. After chatting to the young lady she found out that she was indeed Ms. Spears and the two became acquainted thus giving Flutter a small advancement up the celebrity later herself.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the new EP and although I don't think the Tea's will be moving there anytime soon, I believe that I will enjoy messing around with some of the new things LN has to offer with Miss Margarita.


BTW just in case you didn't guess Asparagus Spears is Berry-Sweet-Short for Britney Spears because that's who the girl reminds me of.

Happy Simming

I have finally remember after heir voting to place my whole family rather than just individuals up for download. So here is the beginning of Generation 3 for you guys. Enjoy. Remember I love to see and hear about what my little simmies are up to in everyones games so let me know or even feel free to post a few pics on A Berry Sweet Site underneath my forum header!

The Tea Family (I realize now that this name was a mistake but at the time I didn't know KittyCatLion's story even existed, sorry Kitty! I was literally drinking some tea when I came up with the name and that was the inspiration ^_^)



P.S. Cupcake-I finally was able to download the Meringues gen 2 and put them into my game. I hope you still don't mind beings you were trying to hook-up Pepper with one awhile ago ;)

And the tallies are in....Generation 3 Heir will be....

Margarita!!! (by one vote)

If you are curious about the totals (between the poll and the votes in the comments) it was

Margarita-5
Dew Drop-2
Thyme-4

I'll be honest I was kinda routing for Thyme because I love her coloring but I'm sure it will be just as fun with Margarita! She's a little...different....:)

Whilest we wait....

 With heir voting ongoing and me actually having the time to play sims, I'm avoiding my Tea family and am in turn playing a Sugar Valley family headed by my berry-sweet, Fall-themed sim Pumpkin Orange-Crush. So here are some randomness pics to share....



Ninja laundry magic gnome :)

Pumpkin aging into one of my most beautiful elders. She looks so elegant!

Pervy laundry gnome spying on Cassie Rol in the bathroom (Pumpkin's b.i.g. daughter)

Apparently Squash Blosim is trying to become one with the pole, that or she is pouting because she didn't want to age into a teen (this was right after her b-day party)

Generation 2-Chapter 17: Finale, heir voting to follow

I think the note at this bottom of the chapter says it all.

Generation 2-Chapter 17

Haven't run away

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile. I've been super busy and not at home much so while I still get to read everything that everyone has been posting, there has been no Simming time for me lately. I do plan to get back to the story tomorrow but that kind of depends on how burnt out I am after work tonight. It's been crazy busy and I've been making lots of good overtime monies but what good does that do you when you have no time to spend it :/ Hopefully everyone (but me) will slow down from spitting out babies left and right here soon.

Sorry for all the RL chatter but I just wanted to you all to know that there was good reason behind my disappearance and that I'll be back soon! Plus my blog header does say Sims and OTHER nonsense :)

Gen 2- Chapter 16 is here

It may be a little while before I'm able to put out another chapter so I thought I'd give you one before the onslaught of work starts tomorrow.

Enjoy! :)

I shall leave you with 2 pictures of Bombay reaching her 'zen state'

Sigh...another chapter...

:(

 But here it is...

Generation 2-Chapter 15

Couple of Blooperish pics for Ya

Well I don't know how Bloopery these are but just some interesting pics from the game lately.

Awww....attack of the 8ft baby!!!!

Random death at the park...my first time see Grimmy in public (death of Pappi Blue Alien (?) for those of you Sugar Valley players)

Random twin travelers in the game. Loved how one was giving the other a "I-will-kill-you-with-my-laser-eyes" ebhil stare. Lol

Floating meditating gnome...I guess he is trying to become one with the tree...

New Candylicious Chapter and Family Tree!!

So I'm excited to present a new Chapter and the link for the family tree.

Generation 2- Chapter 14

Thistle Tea Family Tree

(Can also be found on the Legacy webpage under "My Other Pages"

The Return of Candy

Yes...after what seems to me like a small eternity (I'm really impatient >:( ) My hubby fixed our old hare-drive and I now have access to my old files. (They look so awesome *Squeee*) So may I humbly present you with the newest additions...I mean Chapter in the Thistle Tea Legacy:

Generation 2-Chapter 13

Misadventures of Bombay

Because my game is running *crosses fingers* beautifully atm, I have been playing WA a lot more because I really never got to enjoy it much when I first bought it due to incredible lag ( as in *knocks on computer case* "Hey! Are you awake in there"). So I really like Candy's daughter (from the alternate SV universe) Bombay. She's as fun to play as Thistle. So here are some pics of her adventures in Shang Stir Fry.


So here we have our heroine arriving in Shang Stir Fry.

Admiring the view

Taking a rather uneventful bicycle ride across the bridge...

But being all touristy, safe and uneventful is not exactly what Bombay had in mind

No, she's more of the kind of girl to explore an ancient tomb....in her gym clothes of course.

Succumb to a tourist trap of "hey there pretty lady...I'll pay you ten fold if you can guess what you are feeling in this hole..." (yipes...freakin' creepers)

Embarrass her newly-found local friends by choking on her chopsticks at dinner...

Breaking her hand by trying to impress the cute local boy with her mad "karate-chopping" skills

Drinking too much nectar and then end up swimming in the fountain in the middle of town.

And then being asked to leave and never come back when they find you boxing unsteadily in your swimsuit in the ladies room...

Hope you've enjoyed this addition of Bombay news or as I'd like to call it "what-not-to-do-when-visiting-shang-stir-fry"

Home from my mini-holiday and doing some much needed blog rearrangement

I had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Ate lots of yummy food, shopped a bunch and spent time with some good friends (pretty much family) this weekend. Feel very refreshed and ready to face my very demanding work schedule again. :)

Aside from that short and sweet RL update, I have added a CC list on my blog to try to give credit to some of my favorite and most used CC. I am sure I have forgotten folks but as the title says its definitely not a all-inclusive list due to the fact that I am only human and forget where I find things sometimes. Also I often check e-mail, blog, and lots of websites on my laptop but I have most of what I downloaded on my PC because that's where TS3 is there. So forgive me if you see your CC in my pics but not on my list...it's not that I don't appreciate the hard work that goes into it. And remember it is new and I'm sure more will be added in the days that come.

Also I'm always looking for some good men's wear because this game lacks it but I do not endorse paysites at all!! (Peggy's is on the list due to her free stuff [i.e. skins, some hairs, clothing]) I believe in share and share-alike. One day I hope to make some CC of my own but I don't know if I'm quite that computer-savvy or ambitious...but we shall see.

Sorry for the rambling....

Love and hugs!
Flutter 

Happy Early Halloween! :D

I made a very sweet Halloween berry-sweet simmie. Her name in my game is Pumpkin Orange-Crush but I think I uploaded her as orange crush. She's in my studio here!

And she's pretty fun to play. I have a bunch of other sims I've made recently especially due to downloading some sliders so enjoy. Forgive the total lack of editing in the pics, I don't have my Photoshop installed yet.


I may reupload her though because I just realized I hadn't changed her eyes to a yellow color or her traits...but I'll create a v.2 soon or something, may upload her as a household...hmmm

More randomness...

So I obtained one of Peggy's new hairs for my game recently and thought I'd add to my game by having another berry sim into it so Tadaaa!

This is Canelle...

Enjoying some roasted potato at Peppermint Pier :)

And the other daughter I had been talking about (Candy's and Ash's from her alternate life in SV XD looks exactly like her but is evil! o_O)

I would leave you with more but unfortunately Blogger is being ridiculously slow and took 15 minutes to load that last pic.


P.S. On a happier note, due to the fact that he needs to pull some pics off the old hard drive for a wedding he recently shot (he does this on the side), my hubby will be working on the old hard drive soon (I hopes).
