Tessa Is Still Super Excited To Be A Big Sister.

Tessa is still super excited to be a big sister. 

What I did during spring break:

1) My newest blanket project, because I have two sets of finished squares that’s I just need to sew together. I like all the spring colors in this one. It almost remake sounds me forget that there is snow melting outside my window right now.

2) I made a doily placemat thingie for my mom togo with the smaller coasters and the teacups I made her. I think this would look nice in the middle of a table with a fancy teapot on it. I also made her a cotton banner of crocheted granny’s stars, but apparently  I didn’t take a  picture of that. Whoops!

3) I did take a picture of the teacups I made. I don’t remember if I posted that one yet or not. I used slightly thinner cotton for the second one and it turned out a bit smaller and a lot prettier. I actually coated both of them inn glue and blocked the lace a bit to get them to stay up instead of being floppy. Mom really liked them and is planning on putting these pretty glass globes in them. 

I will hopefully put together those two blankets I mentioned and take pictures of them. 

Sorry this didn’t go up with the end of the round.  I had it in drafts and forgot to finish it!  I hope you all enjoyed the Ramirez round.  I certainly did.  Look below the cut for a few background details and my thoughts on what happened.  

The Ramirezes are generally an easy family to play, especially after the chaos of the Tinker house. We only managed two of the three challenges this time, though, because I failed to throw a roof raising party for Tessa. (Whoops!) On the bright side, Checo did meet the extra challenge of getting fit again, and we did have baby Carmen, so I think that makes up for it. 

 I love how Tessa grew up, and I love her homework face. She really is a gorgeous sim. I’m already matchmaking Tess and Justin Kim. He is going to grow up when I get to his family this round, and I think the two of them would be good together. They both love their dogs. I can see them with a dog training business maybe. We’ll see what happens with attractions and aspirations and such, I guess. 

I really don’t know why Checo couldn’t earn a gold fishing badge. I tried to look up how long it takes (or how many fish, or whatever requirements there might be) but couldn’t find any info. It could be a mod conflict, or some other game glitch. I’m not terribly worried. I just kind of wish I had used all the time he spent fishing to do something else. Ah well. At least I have 47 pictures of him fishing in various locations. 

I feel like there’s always just a little story tucked into the Ramirez round. I liked writing the conversation between Checo and Lisa about her pregnancy. I want to do more with their friendship with the Tinkers next time around. Maybe a double date? Tessa could babysit. 🙂 

I’m eager to see baby Carmen grow up. I think she is going to be lovely, just like her sister. I’m also excited to see how Tessa really does as a big sister. 

 The Ramirezes are just a fun family to play. I love them a lot. Hopefully we will see them around town a lot for the rest of the round. In the meantime, the Larsons are up next, and I’m planning on adding something to their mini-challenge to make them a bit more...exciting. I haven’t started playing them yet, but I’ll let you know when I have posts queued up again.  In the meantime, thanks again for reading and for all the likes and comments.  See you soon!

hey! are you still doing writing prompts?

Hey Anon! Yes, I absolutely am still doing writing prompts. I haven’t had any for a long while, though. I would love to do some more, though. (Maybe it’ll get me off my butt and back to my sims!) If you do send some, please include character names and the actual prompt (like “What the heck is that?”) and not just a number. I will look around for my lists of prompts to repost, but right now I don’t remember any of them.I love writing and am trying to get back to it more often, so please, send me writing prompts. 😁💕💕💕

Just a cute side note - Lisa and Tessa currently have the same jammies.  :)

I'm sending you this one as a test.

I got this one, and I just tried sending myself a bunch more and got all those, so I’m really not sure what happened earlier.  I definitely did sent a bunch of asks to myself that did not go through...

Thanks for the test message.  I don’t know what to do about this issue.  I guess, if anyone’s sent an ask recently, send it again just in case?  I dunno...
