Last Saturday, when we took the girl to the April 2016 LEGO Club meeting, I spent some time at the Pick-a-Brick wall, assembling my own LEGO Pick-a-Brick Butterfly build. It was a fun build, with plenty of bright colors, although the minimizing of the design makes for a choppy transition in the colors. It was
Happy Earth Day, my LEGO friends! If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to plant a tree or do something eco-friendly for Mother Earth. Don’t forget your LEGO builds as well and check out this video on how to build LEGO trees! The video above is from Master Model Builder, David Howard, of the
With St. Patrick’s Day arriving tomorrow, I started a search for building instructions for LEGO shamrocks. In the process, I ran across an idea for LEGO Leprechaun trap. Have you ever heard of a Leprechaun trap? I haven’t. What is a Leprechaun Trap Well… I *may* have heard of one before, I just didn’t put
Two weekends ago, I took the girl to the LEGO Friends Building Event I mentioned earlier last month. If you didn’t catch the post, it was an event celebrating the launch of the new LEGO Friends Adventure theme. Every child attending got a chance to build a LEGO Friends Campfire set. We had seen a

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the Piragua Cart was the MOC I made at the beginning of the year for the Friendly Food February Building Challenge over at the Heartlake Times blog. I’d honestly thought about not making instructions because what I built was inspired by an
Have you ever made LEGO Christmas ornaments? The only ones I’ve ever made are the reindeer ball and the log cabin ball seasonal sets from last year. This year, since we’re getting ready to pull out our Christmas decorations next weekend, I thought it would be fun to challenge the girl to make some stuff
Back in October, we stopped by the LEGO store and saw they had the new LEGO Pick-a-Brick wall model up. We never pick them up, but it’s always fun to see what the LEGO designers have come up with each quarter. Our store is starting with the Panda build. Again, our store is on
Remember those moonbase photos we showed you in our last DixieLUG meeting post? If you didn’t catch this little tidbit in my post, all of those sections were built by different LEGO fans, yet they all fit together as if they were one piece. Pretty cool, right? As it turns out, the reason different builders can
Have you been waiting for your local LEGO store to swap out the Pick-a-Brick model on the wall? Ours finally has and if you are local to Atlanta, you can now go back to the store and pick up the LEGO Pick-a-Brick Mini Jeep build. We went to the store this weekend to sign the
