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...

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!

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!

At the Artwalk

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

Teal's Rez Day Party

My friend, artist and Lady Tigress Teal Freenote, celebrated her 2nd Rez Day in Raglan Shire yesterday. As you can see, there was a huge turnout of tinies and no one quite parties like we do!

Fluffytail Gang at the Raglan Wild West

Wild West Week in Raglan Shire to celebrate its 2nd anniversary kicked off today! "Shotgun" Phin & me, "Bad News" Elle, headed over to see what we could get into and found this here crate o'carrots...
I went on a bit of a bender...Shotgun Phin thought this'd snap me out of it...ha...HA..."Think there are acorns in here?" Shotgun Phin asked...We were so wrong...

Raglan Gets Ready for Wild West Month!

Raglan Shire kicks off Wild West month April 3, so its Artisans Society has been gearing up getting things ready in the sim. I thought I'd blow through the town setup in the Commons and came across Zayn...
I showed that bull who's the boss! Kinda...
You can find my fun tiny costumes in the General Store there. Here's the tumbleweed...And my cactus costume, with a texture taken from my RL cactus that was brought back for me from Arizona...So come on out to Raglan starting this Friday and join in the fun!

Raglan Shire Tinies Video: Parry Gripp Medley

All tinies know the "Waffle Song", so it's no wonder Chaffro and the tinies of Raglan Shire have put together another one of their music videos featuring his songs! Of course, I like "Squirrels, Squirrels, Squirrels!" Enjoy!

"Tiny Thrillers" Music Video

Raglan's done it again, organized by Peaches Latrell and put together by Chaffro. This time it's a take on Michael Jackson's "Thriller"! Enjoy!

Insane Wonder Wheels and Tiny Freakshows

Raglan Shire has a great amusement park going on right now. I convinced Phin to go on the Wonder Wheel with me... But I "accidentally" set the speed setting to "Insane"...
Somehow he was brave enough to go on another with me and opted for the more sedate pumpkin twirler ride...
Then we found the entrance to AlohaLani Heron's Tiny Freakshow! Somebody get that clown a bandage!
Which was really very well-done presentation-wise, not to mention absolutely hilarious. We couldn't stop laughing and had a great time. My fave were the Siamese Siamese kitties...

Squirrels on the Move

Flew my GeeBee plane and thought I'd dogfight. At one point I went nose down and got stuck, but a certain other squirrel (PHIN) kept shooting me anyway. This certain other squirrel (PHIN) was rather tickled about that fact...Afterwards, we went to Raglan, where you can see they are gearing up for Halloween...
