So i took part in my first challenge on the LivingSims Forum, and i had a blast doing it. The Little Cottage challenge was to download or recreate the given floor plan and then decorate the house in an English country cottage style for Mavis and her cat Mr Pickles.
It took me quite a while to decorate the house as I'm slow anyway and it takes me forever to be happy with a room and then the colour scheme takes me even longer. But i finally got it done and this is the result, hope you like it :)

The morning of Edwards funeral was one the hardest days of my life, i just didn't want to get up. I guess it's because i didn't really want this day to actually happen, then it would all be real and Edward would really be gone.

Aging Up 12/03/2012
 
After another long week the weekend was here again, and this one was a special one. Florence was at a big milestone in her life, aging up into a Young Adult. On the moringing of her birthday we had a small celebration in the kitchen, just the three of us.

It's been a few weeks since half term holidays and Florence has been busy at collage, Edwards art career has really started to pick up and my garden is looking great. Anyway, It was Last Friday I think when Florence was getting ready to go out to the cinema with her friends.

Hey all, 
So now that Betcy's story is coming to an end i thought i would give you all a tour around her home. Its a house based on this house by Spechless, i absolutely loved the look of it from the outside so i recreated it in my game - i change it a bit but the basic shape is still there, also the layout is different to the original because it didn't meet my needs for the house. I think Betcy's house was one of the first houses i made on sims 3 so its not amazing, but at the time i was really happy with it. Anyways i hope you like it :)

Now that its moving more into the warmth and sun of Spring like weather and Winter is feeling less cold, not the the seasons ever change around here, i thought we should all go out for a day trip. One evening Edward and i were discussing it, i suggested a shopping trip and makeovers for me and Florence but Edward wasn't very keen on the idea and suggested a good fishing spot up the river. We though a fishing trip in the country would be a nice break from work and a nice relaxing day for all 3 of us.

As you may have guessed from the title of this post, I am claiming to have had the best birthday ever, and although it may not be entirely true I'm going to carry on claiming it anyway and this is why...

About a week ago it was my birthday - Woo! -and my amazing friends got me two stuff packs (along with some other bits and pieces) I got Outdoor Living Stuff and Design & High-tech Stuff. Then my brother, well my mum haha, got me Generations and my dad got me Pets!! Which means that I got a load of amazing new stuff in my game. Well I will have when pets arrives, my dad ordered it after my birthday as he wasn't sure if someone else was going to get it, and I’m just waiting for it to come - should only be about a week :)

And for that reason over the next week I’m going to have a mad rush to finish off Betcy's story so I can start a new one with all the new stuff in my game. I usually just move on from a family but because I've been blogging about Betcy I want to finish her story off properly :) So yes this next week will see the end of Betcy for me :( but don't worry she will be alive for you a little longer as I will need to blog about her :) I’m thinking I’ll have to write some longer posts too or I’m not going to fit it all in!

So yes that’s another thing I’m going to have to try and do, write longer post...should be fun. I really don't know how people do it, I love reading them but they must take so long to write!

Right, I think I will probably leave my ramblings at that as I’ve got a big load of playing to do over the next week and all of that real life stuff that just gets in the way. There should be a post about Betcy by the end of the week, so keep a look out for that.

Oh and of course, keep Simming :)

Merry Christmas everyone, It's Betcy here. Christmas was a few weeks ago and we got very much into the Christmas spirit. Just before Christmas we put our tree up in the living room and decorated the rest of the house. It was all very festive. Christmas has to be my favorite time of year, all the celebrations and spending time with the family, its just lovely. Once the tree was up we all just looked at it, very happy with it, but also Florence got excited about all the presents underneath, shes still i little girl inside.

Rosemary Cottage 06/12/2011
 
Hi all, hope your well :)
This is Rosemary Cottage, the latest house I've built, and yep its one of the houses i built for my Isle of Newshore project, and i liked it so much i moved it to Riverview to finish it off. Its placed on 310 Cypress Lane - which is a 40x30 lot. When i was decorating this house i decided it would be for a young couple with two toddlers, and boy and girl. One of the parents is and inventor and the other a designer, so the garden house has all the things they need for that. 
Also I'll say sorry in advance for the number of pictures, i get a bit camera happy and take so many (this post started with about 35 pictures and i got it down to 17!)
Anyway i hope you like it and any constructive criticism will be much appreciated, 
Happy Simming :)
