Please don't upload lots with my objects to other sites!
I've been getting many PMs lately asking permission to use my objects in lots that will be uploaded to some other sites. But it's not up to me to decide. According to TSR rules featured artist meshes may not be uploaded elsewhere. Meaning, you cannot use my objects if you plan to upload your lot to another site. However, you can upload that lot here at TSR, I'm TSRAA member, my objects can be used in TSR submitted lots :).Update - Sato diagonal window
There was a small glitch with Sato diagonal window, after you place that window on diagonal wall you couldn't change its color with a design tool. Thanks to Chrissy6930 for pointing that out! I fixed the window, you can download it again from this pageUpdate - white wood privacy screen
Please re-download the White wood privacy screen, I've updated that fence. For some reason the light shadows around the edges of lattice part looked too dark when you zoom out (see the pic below, top left). It bothered me so much that I decided to change the texture again. The white screen now looks a bit less realistic on close up but still retains its white color on zoom out (top right). There is a matching gate coming up soon, you can see it on the picture. One more reason for you to update the fence. Thanks!
Thank you for all your comments!
I've been reading comments left for my creations. There are many that don't just describe the item but also add "thank you for all your work", "I have your windows in every house", and similar. I will not be able to reply to all, just want you to know how much I appreciate all the great comments and PMs!! They make me feel great and inspire me to create more :DHugs,

Work in progress - Swan Lake (continued)
Somehow Maxis default water lilies just weren't big enough for the swans, so I made new large once :). They will be part of the Swan Lake set as well. I wonder if people actually read my blog, hmmm... Oh, well, I can always pretend they do, lol!
Work in progress - swan lake
More birds for my swan lake - ducks and little ducklings :). I used the photo texture, makes them look more realistic.
Work in progress - swans
My next project - swan lake. These big fat birdies only look simple! The shape wasn't easy to make but texturing takes me ages! Pure white and pure black textures are always the most challenging. Below is what they look like at this stage. Don't think I can improve them, blah! lol!
Update - missing walls for Shoji set
Matching walls and tatami floors, part of the Shoji set, were published but not linked to the actual set. I didn't notice the glitch until I got a message from covermejoey, thanks for letting me know! :D The walls and floors are now part of the set. You can also download them directly from this page.Work in progress - lucky cat
My first 3DS Max model, and hopefully not the last one! lol! Japanese lucky cat statue. Sure took me a long time to finish this! Can't decide if I love or hate this little creature! But I'm not going to fiddle with it anymore and submit it as it is. Will make a few recolors and add it to the oriental theme.
Work in progress - more fences
I made a shorter version of my wood and lattice fences. They will come in three colors just like the original. Also tried one new metal work design. Hopefully I can come up with more and make it into a set #2.
