Oh, hey there. I'm still around, though not as often. I feel like a total shithead for holding these guys hostage for so damn long especially since a bunch of people have been requesting them, but I'm finally finishing up these decor Eames Elephants and hopefully have them (and a smaller version) uploaded later or tomorrow.  

Looks like I have tons of stuff to catch up on. Did I miss anything good?

Hi Gelina, I'm a big of your website, it's so tasteful! Do you take requests? Cause I have one. I reallly love a sofa from the designer Paola Navone, It would be wonderful if you created it for the sims3. Thank you very much. Eva (I can't add the link in the message, but if you're interested, I'll send it to you by email)

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I normally don't take requests, but I do frequent the #s3ccwishes tag for ideas. You can post a picture of the sofa or anything other requests you may have and tag it with "s3ccwishes" so creators can see it. :)

I'm reading a thing and someone just referred to tampons as Dracula's tea bags.

A few of you know that Laika just had surgery for her teeth and her anal glands. While she’s recovering nicely, it was still a stressful event for all involved.

Buster’s story however is of a much more serious nature. Please take a moment to read his story and if you can donate even a small amount - it helps. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing his story with others. There is a long, and sadly expensive, road ahead of him.

Paper boats if anyone wants them early. I was planning on saving them for a set. (But also, I'm too lazy to make download posts.)

Under deco>sculptures. They should float on all types of water.

So some dude-bro's started attending my yoga classes, I think initially to creep on the ladies, but our teacher is magical and actually got them really interested in yoga, like seriously. They actually stay after class and ask him tons of questions. I now find it oddly endearing watching their sincere efforts, and have to stifle my giggles when they caveman grunt through hip openers.

Some not particularly great shots of stuff I made and will upload when I remember how to make CC. Got some texture and slot issues going on, and the books are too colorful for my taste.

I was going for some sort of Danish theme here. Just play along. The Nanna Ditzel desk I made a while back, but was too scatter-brained to finish until now, and I still fucked it up. The bookends are based on this cute Copenhagen necklace (I also made non-bookend versions) and I'm actually pretty pleased with it aside from the books. Not really sure how the paper boats fit in, but whatevs.

Anyway, now would seem like the perfect opportunity to make a matching chair, right? But somehow I don't feel like it. :P

I love the last house in your post of florida windows. Can´t you somedays chare that house? (sorry my english is not my original language)

Sorry for the late reply, but wow I've gotten quite a few requests for that house. Sadly it wasn't a "real" house, just a fake setup to display the windows. I didn't even save it, unfortunately. Anyone is free to recreate it, though.

Hi Gelina! Do you know how if there is an option in Wings that allows to you assign a texture and put it on the mesh in Wings, so you can see how it would look? Thanks in advance!

Very sorry for the late reply, but here is a simple tutorial (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=25649.0) Skip ahead to Part 2. Hope it helps.

Selfie Sunday: Fitness Update...Results!

I know I talk a lot about about yoga and exercise on what is supposed to be my Sims blog, but for those that actually read my silly fitness posts and are curious, this is about a month and a half of yoga, cycling, jogging, and recently some half-assed weight training...

The "before" if you're curious.

[gelinagelina]

Fitness whatever...and body issues, I guess. And belated Throwback Thursday: I used to be chubby edition.

A lady I often see at the gym asked me how much weight I've gained, and I was like O__o. So she clarified, "You're here to put on weight, right? Because you're so skinny!"

I don't think I'll ever get used to being called skinny. I've been pretty heavy-ish my entire life, and only recently have I shed the weight --mostly due to illness and the hard knock life -- but l still haven't shed the fat girl mentality.

Going to the gym has helped me not look so weak and skinny-fat, but I'm still working on trying to get stronger and leaner and feeling more confident. I've actually made a lot of progress already. I started at 104 lbs. and 23% body fat, and am now at 107 lbs. and 21% body fat. Yes, I did gain weight, but I'm more fit now, so I don't pay too much attention to the scale anymore and try to focus more on body composition.

I've started to have more and more days that I do feel good about my body, confident even. But there are still plenty of days when I look in the mirror and don't see it; when my inner chubby girl still makes me awkwardly tug down at my shirt or adjust my clothes to conceal the squishy flabby bits and rolls that aren't even there anymore. I'm actually in the best physical shape of my life right now, but I think my confidence has a lot of catching up to do. That fat girl mentality is strong.

Anyway, some before pictures. On the left at around 130 lbs., which was pretty much my "normal" weight for a really long time. And on the right, at my heaviest around 148 lbs.--I cropped out my face because eww. I'm just under 5'3", by the way. I'll post a current picture for my selfie Sunday if I'm feeling brave.

wet foggy morning

[gelinagelina]

Don't know if you got it the first time, but I was wondering if you will be releasing the elephant lamps! I'm dying to use those! :-[

Yes, at some point. I accidentally lost (well, overwritten) some files for it, but I'll work on them soon. Although they're not lamps, just deco. :/

[gelinagelina]

Lord, help me to not be an idiot like 90% of the time.

simminglystrange replied to your photoset “Triangle Coffee Table An over-sized wood and glass coffee table based...”

Duuude, wcif those paper boats pls tnx?

I made them but haven't released them because I haven't figured out the setting to make them float on water. :/

[gelinagelina]

I just made this inconveniently massive coffee table based on the one from my last CC wishlist. Glass needs some work. But seriously, how obvious is it that I'm in love with anything that has brass-tipped legs?

Also, I need a new set-up. I've been using this same room for testing and taking pictures of everything. If I zoomed out more, it's all pigs and chairs and cacti scattered about. Just like my real life.
