Jordan Giant's min.poegin - skybox / house

The lovely and talented Jordan Giant has released a new beautiful skybox/house called the min.poegin that was inspired by her love of music and Iceland and it is stunning! The textures and light give this skybox a warm and homey feeling and isn't that what we all want in our SL home?

The lonesome.bird vase is the freebie that Jordan has released to go with her new skybox build. If you touch the glass bottles, they will light up and if you touch the birdie he will sing! Too cute!

If you would like to see more pictures of this skybox, check it out on SLexchange or visit nordari. to check out the demo.

One last thing..check out Jordan's flickr group for nordari here and post some of your lovely pics!

note: all pictures in the post are Jordan's and not my own.

Grindstone Furniture

I learned of Grindstone Furniture when I went to visit the banana.pancake skybox demo that Jordan Giant created and saw the Snuggle bed.

I then went to Grindstone but I didn't find the bed. I sent an IM to the creator and she was quickly getting the bed ready to put out in the store again because she had been receiving so many requests for it. She had actually stopped selling it but due to popular demand she put it back out for sell!

The bed has 25 colors and a tintable white to choose from. It has 12 sleeping poses for 1 or 2 persons and 9 quality cuddle poses.

The next item that is very eye catching is the Bibliophile shelf. The books come with it and they are also texture changing.

I love this refrigerator! I think the Union Jack on it is so original! The fridge is also scripted to share any objects you place inside it! I don't usually have a kitchen in SL but I might get one just so I can have this fridge.

Looking for something healthy to eat! Yea, right! More chocolate and fried food please!

Looking For A Summer Skybox?

Jordan Giant has just released her new summer skybox called the banana.pancake and it is so cute and colorful! I love it just as much as I love all the other ones!

Of course, Jordan has decorated her skybox with her great sense of style to give you an idea of how you can get this cozy, homey feel in your own skybox. Be aware that the skybox does not come furnished but you can always click on the furniture to find out who the creator is and she might include a list of the stores that she used but I'm not sure.

This skybox has a airy,open feel to it with the deck and curtains. You could just imagine them blowing in the breeze!

Jordan always makes a freebie gift that you can pick up to go with your new home. This time you can get these beautifully textured rugs to put in your new skybox!

You can see more pictures of this skybox at SLexchange or visit her nordari. store where you can catch the LM to the demo, pick up the rugs and see all her other great skyboxes that she has available.

cecille. skybox gift from Jordan Giant

Maybe you didn't know but Jordan Giant has a shop, nordari., on Albero and she has a suscribe group that you can join that won't take up one of your group spaces.

She recently gave the group this cute little skybox called cecille. It can be either 17 or 20 prims depending on if you want the light beams or not.

The textures and the quality of the skybox are wonderfully done...as usual! So get down there and check out her little shop, her skyboxes and the wonderful freebies that she has out.

If you check the history section of her suscribo, you can still get this great skybox!

My Top Five Favorite Things in SL for 2009--A Challenge!

I woke up at 3am last night thinking about these things and wanted to post them. I'm also going to put this out as a challenge to any bloggers who would like to do it.

Basically, just list your five favorite SL or SL related things for 2009. It can be skin, hair, a gadget or person. It didn't even have to be created in 2009 but it just has to be new to you. Oh, and you can cheat a little with the five things too as you will see I did.

So enough chit chat and on with my list....

5. MudHoney Photobles. These are a blogger's best friend! I've raved about these before on my blog about the ease of rezzing and derezzing them. You can change the furniture out in them and put your own stuff inside and since the items are copy, you can put some of the furniture in your own home as I have done. I believe, Rayvn has done six of these so far in 2009 and I can't wait to see what she does in 2010!

The Glam Girl Photoble

4. Japanese Sims/Creators. A whole new world of Japanese Sims/Creators was opened up to me this year thanks to Jordan Giant. After visiting her snow.white skybox and inspecting where she got the majority of her furniture, I was on a crazy whirlwind of discovery! I hopped from sim to sim and store to store discovering low prim, beautifully textured and reasonably priced furniture, housewares and plants! Some of the places to visit are Drowsy and Albero.

3. snow.white Skybox/Loft. My number four favorite leads right into my number three. When I saw this skybox on exchange, it was love at first sight! It's simple, pure, clean and fresh looking! I loved the quality and the size of it. You can buy it on exchange or visit Jordan's in world shop nordari.

2. LeLutka Estelle Skin. In 2009, I became a skin whore! I used to be loyal to one skin designer and wear that skin for months and months before I bought another fat pack from somewhere else. Now, I change my skin as often as I change my clothes in SL. However my favorite skin so far is the free LeLutka Estelle skin that I got at LE.LOOK. I think I am going to have to break down and buy a fat pack!



1. Plurk. Last but not least is Plurk. It is not really in SL but it is SL related. I have met so many great people on Plurk that I would not have met in world. I got to know my already existing SL friends better and it is a great way to keep up with all that is SL when you aren't able to log in.

So there you have it my five favorite SL things of 2009! So what are yours?

dark.chocolate winter house

Jordan Giant built a new house! In case you haven't noticed, I'm her biggest fan....and I'm not saying that in some weird Kathy Bates way, either.

I'm at work now so this post will be quick and dirty. The pictures below are right off of Jordan's SLexchange page that I am showing. They aren't mine. These pics are hers and I hope she doesn't mind me using them but I wanted to get this post out and share something that I really love!

Also, she has some new freebie coffee and tea papercups. Check out the house here on SLexchange or she has a new shop too but I don't have the slurl. Check her profile pics and it is probably listed there.

Oh, one last thing....the house does not come furnished! She just shows you how you could decorate it! I repeat IT DOES NOT COME FURNISHED!
