Totally out of my work life balance…
A couple of days ago my husband looked at the screen and said “Freda got dark circles and eye bags. She works too much at the computer…”. And it’s true! I did not change anything with my avi and she looks tired just like real me.
But now comes the good part. At last I have had enough time to make some own mesh clothing items. Boy it’s hard. But I never give up when I want to do and learn something and in the end I succeed – mostly.
I was so proud being accepted at the upcoming Rock you Rack fundraising event.
My ambition did not allow creations from templates for my exclusive item, so I had to go through it.
Yesterday I set up my booth at the RYR Event and it will start for public on 3rd October.
Today I am going to set up some cosy handmade fall sweaters in my inworld shop and make everything fit the fall season. After that I will releax, with a good feeling.
And I promise there will be not again such a long time not saying a word here.
Take good care for yourselves and be prepared for some fun new products, hunts and events coming soon,
Love, Freda

Small changes – big effects
It is Friday morning – no people. Everybody is doing groceries, my feet still sandy from swimming in the morning and I decided to do some quick improvements in my main store.
I saw these beautiful simple poster clips lately, so I replaced all the heavy thick image displays with light and loose hanging paper prints. I LOVE these so much more!
Next I replaced all those shiny golden clothing rails to almost invisible dark silver metal rails. What an improvement. Maybe nobody will notice it, but the overall look is just so much better.
The new rails are eating some more Li’s, but thanks to a wonderful Linden employer, who answered to my ticket super fast I could buy another piece of abandoned land to enlarge my shop area.
After all that hard work I took a little rest in my mermaid rest area in the center of the store. Sputnik, my store robot is still flying in circles greetings customers since beginning of last year without any issues. He may stay!
Sand is spread allover the floor anyway, so it was more than ok to walk on my bare and sandy feet feeling comfy while working (waving to the cleaning woman…kiss!!!).
Now you and me, lets enjoy our weekend!
Stay safe and healthy,
Love, Freda

Another 3 sims to do Shop & Hop and a very useful link list of the event.
Did you see the fantastic LM list to every single shop of the event ? A MUST see! Link List Shop and Hop event I printed it on 7 pages and made my notes for an easy get back later for items I had to rethink before buying. Saving so much time…
The most generous and useful gift I found is given by Infinite Furniture at Frosted Region – a NY loft skybox flooded with day light, wonderful for making indoor pics.
My favorite clothing gift I got from Stories and Co. at Frosted Region – this lovely little short pants and as a big exception, also for the Slink Physique Original body. Thank you!
My finger just clicked “buy” from alone when I saw these great big shoulder bags fatpack by ANE at Halcycon Region. I know it is difficult to rig such a bag, so it is a bit far from the body, but allows to be worn with thick clothing, too. I just love it
Here I was thinking, if I really need that fantastic swimming pool with slider, from Aphrodite Shop, also at Halcycon. But unfortunately it doesn’t fit in the snow region, where I got my land.
This designer ( Myth at Gleaming Region) really made it to install a wide and highly atmospheric beach and garden set-up within the little stall. Incredible and lovely items!
Ever wanted to learn making your own pottery? It is super easy with MUSUs Pottery Wheel at Halcycon Region.
If you are less for a NY loft, but more for a minimal tent living, this gift by Fantavatar & Moonstruck at Aurelian Region is for you. Very cute with several animations.
You have to watch well, that those old and grungy robots don’t eat you when you sleep outside… the lovely guys are made by [C8] and to be seen at Jubilant Region.
Another lovely gift set, a rose tiara and neck band by Tentacio at Halcycon Region.
And this is the end :-). I just fell in love with that octopus hair by BONBON, so cute. You can wear the beast and the hair separately btw and you get so many color options. I can’t wait to make the next photo session.
Have a wonderful day and stay safe!
Love, Freda
Curiosities at the Shop & Hop SL17B event
Ready for a new round of shop and hop fun? I LOVE it, that there is such a new variety at the shop and hop event this year. The Tinseled Region keeps some really funny curiosities:
“Owner too lazy” … Well this designer at least is honest:
Anyway I love the stall of Dope + Mercy, which is almost an art installation. And the few products and images are creative and beautiful. I would have bought the pvc bag. But I do not like gacha. I like to choose myself which color and version I get. So I stick with my kitty gym bag.
Who in heavens name needs a fake tan machine in SL??? These things are uncomfy like hell, especially for adult actions…hahaha… :-)))
And if I come home to our pretty steampunk house with this jumping washing machine, also made by Astralia, Muad will ask for the divorce I guess. It is so much fun though to sit on it and watch the movement, almost like meditation…maybe I find a hidden corner and he is not online often lately :-))).
I always loved contrasts. This more than colorful “Alice in Wonderland” and Space Set-up is by Boudoir…
…and a few steps further a calm huge showroom by Spargel and Shine, that shows beautiful seaside houses and you do not feel like at an expo at all.
I find horses beautiful, but I am scared like hell from them and would never ever sit on the back of a horse. This unicorn made me already feel uncomfy how it looked at me, not to talk about the huge stallion and his dangerous movements.
So this was my daily shop and hop trip early this morning, while users from the other side of the world are still sleeping.
One last tip! Do not have shadows enabled in your preferences of your viewer and keep the drawing distance as short as possible. You will have much more fun moving. This last pic took ages with the lag. I did not buy anything today, but I had so much fun.
Enjoy your Sunday and take good care of yourself,
Love, Freda
and with all those Maitreya and Legacy only designers, I just wear my own stuff:
“Freda” Drawstring Gym Bag Cat (my own original mesh!)
“Freda” Photo print BoM shirt and panties (low lag, no mesh)
“Freda” Pia Shorts Corduroy
“Freda” Denim Sandals

SL17B Shop & Hop Finds
Its that magic date again and SL was just getting 17 years old – incredible – and more colorful and sexy than ever! This years Shop and Hop event is hosting the double space and 200 designers.
I love all kind of expos and fairs in both worlds. So I just made it to stroll through two of the sims in one afternoon. As always I checked on the map which sim still takes avis and clicked the map to get there. In Snowflake Region there are various home and garden shops. The best way is to have a seat and look around with the camera. Btw I LOVE this chair, which is a gift from Trompe L’oeil.
The above pic shows my favorite fashion stall by Ala Folie, a wonderful set up, that shows they love colorful fabrics and hand crafting just like me. The gift (on the left display, group gift right) ist a wonderful long dress. Thank you!!! While again many designers on the event support disappointing 1 or 2 mesh body brands only, you can get here at Ala Folie a wide range, and also Slink Physique Original, what I wear.
Time for a good cup of japanese tea at this lovely tea set by Sway’s.
And this beautiful old fashioned huge piano by Fancy Decor makes you look like a virtuoso, even if you have no clue of playing a piano.
A little bit dreaming is easy in this romantic bird cage by OA-MEO.
OK, and I just had to have this cute Italian ice cream Fiat 500 by Chez Moi for in front of my shop. No designer can live from freebies, so I am always happy, when I find things, that are useful for me to buy at those events.
And here it is. Serve yourself! The cone with 3 balls of ice cream is my fav.
Enjoy your weekend, the SL17B events and shopping!
Love, Freda
