YAY! A New Shop in Raglan!!!

Look at the smile on my little squirrel face. Why? I got my new shop up and running in the new Raglan Shire tree city! It's so pretty there, with lots of fun, quirky little touches...

I feel so lucky and love the spot that they gave me next to the lift. I got to work right away putting everything up!

I even have a balcony!

 It has a great view of Heron Shire. I can even see the Great Tree Steve! 

"The Cats" Building a New Raglan!

I am so excited! We Raglan merchants will be allowed back on the new Raglan Shire sim soon. In the meantime, I went up to the build to take a look around and ran into Pan. This is my new shop in the "Birdhouse" section. I LOVE IT!

Along with head builder Nil (left) and a crew of tinies known simply as "The Cats," they have created a spanking brand new Raglan Shire tree city of platforms with Tudor-style shops and buildings...

Pan was working on the bucket lift next to my shop and had Nil and me to ride on it and test it out with her. SO much faster than the old acorns!

Raglan Shire Medieval Ball 2015

One of the highlights of September's Medieval Fest in Raglan Shire is the medieval ball. I've been coming to these for years now. Lady Fluffytail has to make an appearance, you know?

 It's always nice seeing so many tinies there!

 And Zayn was DJing for us from on the Carrot Throne! Nom!

Raglan Tiny Town Hall Meeting

Zayn called upon us tinies to come to one of two town meetings over the weekend to tell us all about upcoming changes. He echoed a lot of I have talked about in terms of inworld communities: the need for participation, the overall shrinking of SL and its effect on renters and merchants.

He also talked about upcoming changes for Raglan itself, which I can promise you are pretty darn exciting. Let's just say that we got to see a model of the Raglan sim redesign. We are taking to the trees!!!

Raglan Shire ArtWalk!

The Raglan Shire ArtWalk is underway for the whole month of May. Covering multiple sims, you will find fantastic artwork--both 2D and 3D--throughout! karmagirl avro (SQUABBIT!) did a great job as the main coordinator and there are lots of events going on for the whole month. You can take a ride on the Hedgiepillar, which you can hop on and take an almost half-hour ride throughout the ArtWalk...

You can find some of my pieces there too! Here I am cruising by my work on a Hedgiepillar with Dizzy...

Little Yoshiwara

I had a lot of fun exploring the sim of Little Yoshiwara, one of SL's historical sims. Set in the Edo period during the Tokugawa shogunate, it is filled with little shops and related buildings such as this restaurant, whose sign made me laugh...

I also found their okiya (Geisha school). Do you think they accept tiny squrrels?

Tiny Poetry Slam: Animals

Went to the tiny poetry slam on Monday. Topic was "Animals." Here was my poem, called "In Raglan":

All of us critters
Scampering around
Up in Steve
Down on the ground
Some on 2 legs
Some on 4
Where are the waffles?
Give us more!

Easter Parade

Thought I'd pop through Raglan and join my fellow tinies in an Easter parade through the sim. There was a bounce castle set out. Oh...my...Glob, too much fun!

On Being A Tiny in SL

Here I am all dressed up for Raglan's Hanami Festival that was held all this month. Cherry blossoms everywhere! The Commons was transformed. So pretty!

Recently Lunar told me "You are so content as a tiny." I was like "How could I not be?"

I have been a tiny in SL since 2007. I spend just as much time in tiny form as I do humanoid. One of the reasons is the tiny community itself. Raglan is not only one of the happiest places in SL, but consists of one of its strongest, most creative communities. It might be filled with small critters, but we get things DONE. It is strong. It is vibrant. It is successful. It is fun. And it is filled with active citizens. I am proud to consider myself one of them.

All of any size (or species) are welcome to join the fun, but Raglan definitely protects its creatives and the interests of the sims itself. Tinycentric, you might say, but it works. It is a community that supports itself and its citizens. At a time when I am seeing so many communities closing and dwindling, Raglan continues to engage and be engaging.

I love you Raglan Shire and I love being a tiny. Wafflelujah!

Tiny Poetry Slam in Raglan: "Cold"

Today I went to the Tiny Poetry Slam at Stevebucks in The Great Tree Steve. I love Steve. Steve is an awesome humongulous tree. Anyway, I wrote a poem called "Snowfall" as the theme was "Cold."

I've always written poetry, but never read them before. It was really well-received. I was so tickled! It was fun and I'm looking forward to going again.

Happy Wootmas!

OK, so we tinies love to carol and when the call goes out, we grab our carol books and go! Today we brought some Wootmas cheer to the sim of Fallen Gods (one of my fave places for fantasy skins) and had a great time performing for the biggies there! And of course we riverdanced afterwards!

I later got multiple encores when I sang from the Raglan carol book at the Steelhead Holiday event at the library. It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it!

Gone Caroling...

I thought I'd hang out with my fellow tinies and joined the Tiny Raglan Carolers for an event at Frostburg State U. The biggies enjoyed our performance a lot...

And so did the folks at the AviChoice sim. I know that I had a lot of fun! Happy Wootmas!

Raglan's Got Talent 2014!

Like the Spooktacular and the Medieval Festival, the Raglan Talent Show is one of the yearly highlights of the Raglan Shire events and always has a great turnout!

Caleb donned a tutu and did tricks on a barrel! Don't singe your fur!

 Daisy read us one of her stories...

I laughed so hard from Fullauto's rendition of William Shatner's "Rocket Man". SO FUNNY!

 

Oh mah Glob...for years DangerCat (Etheria) has thrilled us with her daredevil antics. So much tiny bravery. Her poor assistant Panacea usually has to help her out when things go a little...awry...

 Gracie Saint Possum performed for us...

And then there was the grand finale from Songbird, Flea and Co. You should see a woolly mammoth dance...It was AWESOME.

I love the Raglan Talent Show. Sometimes I see folks that I haven't seen in a long time. TOO much fun!

Tossin' Cabers in Raglan Shire!

 There is always something fun going on in Raglan. I was center right square on "Tinywood Squares"...

...But what I had been practicing for was the caber toss. All those years of doing it in Caledon paid off, although as a tiny those cabers looked bigger than ever...

...But I won 1st place!! My fellow contestants Bloodsong Termagant (rt, 2nd place) and Ami Temura (left, 3rd place) did a great job too!

At the Artwalk

While roaming the ArtWalk, I came across these great sepia-toned photos by Lorimae Undercroft. Look! The Steelhead Shanghai pavilion!

Chaffro's Wedding in Raglan Shire

My friend Chaffro is getting married in RL. He and his fiancee Kitti thought it would be fun to have an inworld ceremony in Raglan Shire as well. Here is the nervous bunneh groom...
All of Raglan turned out, including tinies creator Wynx Whiplash herself, to hear their genuinely sweet exchange of vows...Afterwards we all went to the reception and partied like only tinies can!Congrats to the two of them in both lives!!!

Friendly Greetings from Torley's Tiny Bunneh Heaven!

Everybody in SL knows Torley Linden. He who loves pink and green watermelon-y goodness. I had never been to his sim Here Island, and thought it'd be fun. At first I had my own little raincloud, but it soon went away...
Due to the sheer crazy fun of the place!Watermelon monster! YESH!Even the water was filled with things to see...And just when I thought I had found tiny bunny heaven...I REALLY found tiny bunny heaven!!!!

Um...

I can assure you that I am unable to walk on the walls, and my tiny bunny AV isn't wearing suction cups on its feet.

I have no idea how this happened...

Learning is Fun in Raglan

Heading over to Raglan U. for the second part of the machinima class in preparation for the big Raglan Machinima Festival in February...
Daveypup Nirvpaw's goal today was to teach us about basic editing in Movie Maker (since it's free and most of us have it anyway)...
Looking at my fellow tinies in attendance was a lot of fun too. I noticed Bith's rings on her horns. Very chic! I had the pleasure of meeting Bith in RL at the Baltimore Comic Con recently. She was there with her husband, who is an artist, and both of them were very nice!
I noticed zoe Reymont's toilet paper roll and wondered what she had been up to...
And Teal, well...I am probably not going to post it as it was just a godawful test, but my practice machinima that I made was called "Bloodsucking Squirrel." Yup.
