It’s great when we can instil the joy into others 🥰

@LegoTherapy my mum (fragile 87 last month) is still raving on about the Botanical dried flowers I build for her birthday.

I'm part way through the French Cafe, which is at home whilst I'm on holiday again.

I have Van Gogh's Sunflowers an Starry Night in my TBB pile.

@Dearoverits on my sideboard and I’ve had to move other things to make space. My lovely mum laid the foundations with ds, I’ve done most of it in stages but Mum did the roof with ds and me, the flowers with ds and dd2, dd1 did the cafe, I did the cherry tree with Mum, and dd2 finished it off with the fountain as that’s the only bit she actually wanted to do but she’s enjoyed more, so it’s been a lovely family build. My mum is 85 and has limited dexterity in her fingers and it’s done her good to learn to build Lego and we’ve built a few things together. That roof was a bugger to do but we got there. I found the instructions and building techniques for some parts pretty rubbish. Having 3d instructions on the Lego builder app would have helped a great deal.
I remembered yesterday when asked what I’d do now it was finished that I’d got Assembly Square and Jazz Club 😁
What’s everyone building at the moment?

Dearover · 21/04/2025 08:43

@LegoTherapy you lucky thing having the space to have that one. I shall have to stick with art & flowers

We finished the botanical garden after dinner today. I’ve got the entrance gate to do but the set is finished. I’ve made the acer a cherry tree.

Fixed it! I had to dismantle it right how to what would be the floorboards. Nightmare. We are about to start bag 24 and there’s 28 bags. I should be Easter baking by now but never mind!

TheWayTheLightFalls · 18/04/2025 21:50

Argh!

LegoTherapy · 18/04/2025 21:23

The botanical garden has been messed up by me but I didn’t realise until I did the palm tree and it wouldn’t go in. I’d misaligned part of the base so I’ve had to dismantle right down to the base on that side and don’t know if I can rebuild it like that 😩

Tiny bit more work on the STEM set - here’s our Easter bunny (not STEM clearly!) posing with the DNA helix I built.

@LegoTherapy the Viking village is currently on offer for £106 at John Lewis - they had 3 in stock at Manchester Trafford centre last Sunday

I just ordered the medieval village to go with my Lion Knight’s castle.

Ds got carried away in the Lego shop and I forgot about the Stem set 😩 I’ve got £46 of points so I’ll get it next time. Or maybe put those towards the starry night.

TheWayTheLightFalls · 17/04/2025 17:23

And yes, the instructions include a sentence or two about the invention/individual. And a bio of the fan who developed it, which I love.

I was just coming back with a photo of the hidden morse code Grin

The light spectrum is on the other side of the base.

@TheWayTheLightFalls I’ve looked into it, it is hidden, and there’s hidden morse code too! I’m definitely getting it at some point this year then.

@TheWayTheLightFalls does it give explanations for everything? I’m not good at science stuff but love the look of that kit.

edited - is that the evolution of stem? Is that part covered over? I don’t see it in the photos on the Lego website.

LegoTherapy · 17/04/2025 13:04

@TheWayTheLightFallsi think I might buy that today. I really like it. My undiagnosed ND saw me do terribly in science exams at school but I do have a BSc in psychology and a nursing post grad diploma plus others but I still feel I failed at school. To me the set represents my love of science and those stolen qualifications. I hope you continue to e joy building it and hope you’ll show us it when finished.

TheWayTheLightFalls · 17/04/2025 10:32

Getting on with my STEM set and really love the thoughtful little details.

So happy to have found this thread!

I've just finished the bunny from the creator 3in1 set this evening, after making the seal first.
My current big wish list items are the Snow White Cottage and Rivendale. Think I will be able to stretch for the cottage in a couple of months but just can't justify the Rivendale set even though it is absolutely beautiful

It's the kindest thread on AIBU. LTB is short for Love Those Bricks.
