New poll!
Thanks to everyone who took part in my Hallowe'en poll. My first Hallowe'en set is currently being completed and prepared for upload - it's a "wig" (hair) set for cheerleader costumes and I hope you'll all like it.There's plenty more to come, too - between now and Hallowe'en, I will only be making spooky/gothy/novelty sorta downloads (taking into account all your poll answers, of course).
I'm now looking for feedback on my hair sets. I only do the four genetic colours, because that's what I like to have in my game. But it's not me that downloads the sets, it's you! Please answer my poll, post in my guestbook, PM me, and let me know what colours of hair you like to download. From the results of that poll, I'll put together some swatches, and shortlist a maximum of around 10 - 12 "standard" colours that all my new hair sets will come in (and I may add new "extended" parts for my old hair sets with those extra colours too).
Thanks again for all your feedback, through polls and comments. Keep it coming!
I am employed!
I don't know if anyone actually reads this, but if you read about my job interview you might be interested to hear that they gave me the job at the end of the interview! It was really odd, one moment I was in a job interview, the next they were asking me which uniform items I wanted (trousers or skirt? wide leg or straight? t-shirt or blouse?) and wanted to know if I could attend training this Thursday, Friday and Saturday and start on Monday!I'm absolutely over the moon!
I'll have 3 days off a week, during which time I will make creating luvverly items for you to download here my full time job!
(Thanks to everyone who wished me luck at my interview!)
A job interview
Sorry I haven't been updating much, I unexpectedly got given a job interview for tomorrow! I've been looking for work for a while, and I desperately need a job, but the job hunt has been fruitless for a while so I wasn't expecting to get an interview all of a sudden!Anyway, be assured, whether I get the job or not, once I get past the stress of the interview, I'll be back to updates as normal!
I've nearly finished my long male hair with a bandana... I'm just trying to think of a pattern to put on the bandana, so that at least should be published tomorrow or Tuesday to keep things going in between!
Hallowe'en!
Well, as you may have guessed from the poll, it being the start of October has got me thinking about Hallowe'en! Thanks to all of you who've given me feedback so far, it's very helpful to give me an idea of which way to go with my Hallowe'en items.Anyway, I'm working on one hair set, and I also have a requested hair set to finish, but basically today I start making Hallowe'en stuff, and I'm hoping to get enough ideas to keep at it for the next 4 weeks. So, if you have any ideas for Hallowe'en items (especially Hallowe'en-y hair), PM me on the forums, leave me a guestbook entry, or comment on this post and let me know about it!
Creative block
After all the excitement of being made an SA yesterday, and having vowed to myself on Monday I'd update 3 times a week, I'm suffering a bit of a creative block! Every mesh I touch turns into a chainsaw-haircut disaster. I have a whole list of ideas but I just can't seem to bring them to fruition. I think it's just the nerves of realising that my God, people actually look at what I put up here, and they judge it. It's put me under a lot of pressure, but I think that feeling will pass.I'm trying to do a double-knotted updo with little curls and other flyaways hanging from it right now... but it just doesn't seem to want to go how it is in my head :(
Oh well, maybe I'll get something out of this at the end of the day... I'll just have to keep going and see where the meshing takes me.
Becoming an SA
Wow, well today I got a big surprise when I logged on, and a nice surprise it was too! I'm really honoured to have been chosen, and I'd like to thank all of you who have congratulated me and welcomed me on my guestbook.Anyway, expect to see lots more downloads from me over the coming weeks, as I've made a promise to myself to submit at least 3 times a week, and every other day when I can. Thankyou to everyone who has downloaded, thanked, and commented on my work, and thankyou to TSR for letting me have this lovely minisite!
