Continuing with the alien/space theme, I have been 'playing' around with a few things to make complete bedroom sets and have come up with the following two collections:
'My Little Alien Bedroom'
'My Little Space Bedroom'
Collections include:
Wallpapers x 2
Carpets x 4
Bed frame + Bedding x 2
Curtains
Rug
Toybox
UFO
Bedside Table
Dressers - large + small
Desk + Chair
The walls and floors will be different in the final versions as I hadn't got around to packing/installing them when I took these pics. I will also probably included a couple of paintings for each set - I just wanted to make sure the furniture came out okay before going too far, since it is my first attempt!
So, what do you think? Any thoughts/comments gratefully received as always!
Even more Spaced out, Alien Mad Cow!

Following a request for some more of the 'cute factor', based around/for all those baby aliens out there, I have created some walls/floors, and have also been working on some bedding to go with a 'Baby Alien' and 'Baby Space' themes.
Provisional walls/floors as follows:
The pics aren't brilliant coz I needed to keep them small for here, but they give you the general idea - two walls and four matching carpets for each theme, so you can mix-n-match.
Provisional bedding as follows:
The 'Baby Aliens' version is available in both white and pastel green bedding, and I've also re-coloured the bed frame to match both.
The same applies to the 'Baby Space' versions, apart from them being white and pastel blue.
If all goes well, I will hopefully add a few more bits and try and make them complete rooms/sets.
So, what do you think? - All comments appreciated as usual!
Spaced out, Alien Mad Cow!!

Logged in today and noticed I've hit the half million milestone - over 500,000 downloads - Wow! I can hardly believe it!!
Who would have thought that exactly 5 months and 5 days after my first ever set was published, that I would be here - certainly not me!! I'm amazed, stunned, speechless (good job it's not 'typeless'!!)
I'm 'over the moon' - literally:
.... Told ya!!
A very, very big THANK YOU to everybody who has made this possible by downloading my creations, and especially to my 'regular customers' who just can't resist coming back for more - it is really, truly appreciated! And THANK YOU again, to everybody who has left comments, words of encouragement, and ideas - they're what inspire me and keep my enthusiasm going, so please keep them coming!!
Ecstatic Mad Cow!

Hi All!
I had inspiration earlier for some walls/floors for a bathroom, so I knocked them up. Then I got to thinking, what about a few things to go with them - thinking is really bad for me, I come up with all these crazy, Mad Cow ideas!!
Anyway, what started off as a few accessories - some curtains, towels and a rug, kind of ended up as a complete bathroom! Trouble is, in all my excitement, I forgot to package the walls & floors, so it isn't quite what I intended! - oooops!!!!
So here is my first ever attempt at a bathroom:
The toilet, bath, sink, rug and mirror came out lighter than I expected - they should have been more the colour of the shower curtain - but I do quite like them the colour they are.
Like I said, the walls & floor will be different in the finished product, but what do you reckon to the rest?
Should I make the toilet, etc. darker?
Should I make the curtains & shower curtain lighter?
Or are they okay as they are?
Thoughts, comments, suggestions please!!
Thank you - in anticipation!
Crazy Mad Cow!

Hey! It's update time again! So, what have I been up to? Well, quite a lot actually!
I've been doing some more experimenting with different items (some turned out good, others have been binned!), so you're going to be seeing quite a few new additions arriving over the next few weeks!
(not the 'binned' ones by the way!)
To start with I've created another lot of 'Single Colour Variation Floor Sets' - this time tiles with a rather nice marble effect! - 7 sets in total (like my carpets), which I intend to upload over the weekend!
Then I have to honour a promise of more paintings, which will probably be two different sets with two different frames - just for a change!
After that, I've not decided yet - could be some curtains, or some rugs, or some sofas/armchairs, or some towels, or some more walls/floors - see, said I'd been busy!
Anyway, if there's anything in particular you would prefer, just let me know and I'll see what I can do!
Bye for now!
Creative Mad Cow!

Hey Folks!
I've finally finished my 'Bohemian Black & White Set' - after quite a few alterations - so I intend to upload that in the next couple of days - that's gonna be fun!
In the meantime, the 'Bear Necessities' paintings have been submitted and approved and are due out on the 29th & 30th
- I know it was a long time ago when I first mentioned them, but I've finally got there (kept getting distracted by other things!).
Also, to go with the paintings, I have produced a set of rugs!
. I've only done 12 as I thought another 38 would be a little over the top!!, but they will co-ordinate with any of the paintings, so hopefully you'll like them!
I've been doing a lot of experimenting with re-colouring and following the relative success of my black and white sofas, I've created some more of them - two sets in fact! Personally, I think they've turned out really well - but maybe I'm just a little biased!
.
I WILL get around to uploading them at some stage, along with some more curtains, floor tiles, and rugs - once I have satisfied a certain person's addiction for paintings (if that's ever going to be possible - which I doubt very much!!!)
Anyway, just thought I'd keep you posted with what's been going on!
And remember that if you feel like commenting on anything or making any suggestions, I'm more than happy to listen!
Over-worked Mad Cow!

Me again! Firstly, thanks very much to everyone who has left a comment on my new set - it's much appreciated! :D
I've been doing quite a lot of revisions, taking on board the comments that you did make, and have extended it to include white versions of many of the objects. I've also changed the paintings so they stand out more and, I think, are more appropriate to the black & white theme, and added armchairs!!
With regards to things like adding patterns to the furniture, etc - this IS my first attempt at doing anything like this and, if I'm honest, I think that is a bit above me at the moment :( - I'm just really pleased they all came out still looking like tables and sofas and chairs!! :P :D
So anyway, here are 3 preview pics of the new, new version:
So what do you reckon? An improvement or not?
Not sure whether I should do previews of a separate 'black' room & a separate 'white' room instead of putting them all together as they do look a bit cramped - I just wanted to show everything I'd done! :P
More comments please!!!
Thank you very much!
Mad Black & White Cow!!

Hi all! I've been working on a new set and I would really appreciate some feedback (good or bad!) as to whether you think it's any good and worth publishing or not.
This is the first time I have attempted a whole room, and re-colouring furniture and the objects included. Some I am happy with, others I'm not so sure, which is where, hopefully, you come in!
Please leave a comment, even if it's only to say 'Yuck, I hate it!' - I won't be offended and would rather know what you thought about it HONESTLY and TRUTHFULLY!
So, here are a couple of preview pics of my 'Bohemian Black Living Room':
The set consists of:
Black & White Paintings x 9 (only 3 shown)
2 & 3 seater sofas
End Table
Coffee Tables x 2 (small & large)
Plant
Mirrors x 2
Table Lamp (only base re-coloured)
Grandfather Clock
Curtains x 2 sets
Vase
Rugs x 2
The walls & floors are also from my collections, but are not included.
So, talk to me please!!
What's good or bad? Should anything be added or removed? Should I publish or bin?
Thank You, in anticipation - I look forward to your responses!
Black Mad, Mad Cow!

Hey! I've been a very busy Mad Cow lately - as you can probably tell from the number of uploads recently! .... and it's not stopping yet!
Two new sets of curtain re-colours are due to be published on the 19th, AND I've just uploaded my new set of 'Embossed Rugs' in 12 dusky shades, AND, just for all you picture lovers out there, a new set of 'Tropical Paradise' paintings - 12 exotic scenes of, you guessed it, tropical paradises!
- so get your sunglasses out!!
I've still got lots more in the pipeline - so watch this space!
All comments, thoughts and ideas are welcome!

Coming soon .... two new sets of seamless, textured wallpapers and matching textured carpets, in a rainbow of assorted shades (40 in total, so there's sure to be something you like amongst them!
).
Other projects I've been working on include some curtain re-colours (a first for me!) - which I think have turned out really pretty (they do look much better in-game than in my 'dodgy'
previews!)
And also some new rugs - Firstly a set of 12 'Embossed' rugs in dusky shades:
and secondly, a few to match my upcoming 'Bear Necessities' paintings:
Hope you like them!
Busy, busy, busy Mad Cow!
(now going to bed!)
