Lego

 I thought I would never ever do Lego again after the children stopped doing them but, alas I was wrong.  Wintertime just passed had me making a dozen Lego roses and I've placed them in a vase on top of the piano.  They look ok from a distance.

  3. Margaret, they are very beautiful! They also helped to encourage our psychomotor skills, which are necessary at our age.

  4. Hello Margaret,

    We are totally amazed at your skill in creating these roses from Lego. Just putting one brick on top of another is about as creative as we can get with these kind of kits, but your talent is incredible. The end result is pretty and it must attract not only admiration but curiosity about how it all fits together. We believe that Lego are now bringing in motorised kits...have you tried one?

    1. Thank you, Jane, and Lance. No, I haven't ventured into the motorised kits as yet, just the flowers :)

  12. Once again, a delightful post. Leggos have advanced since my kids played with them. Of course, that was 50 years ago.

    1. Thank you, Bill. Yes, Lego have sure changed, and I guess they need to, to keep people interested. I remember we had boxes and buckets of Lego about 40 years ago for our children.

  14. Hi Margaret,
    Wow! I never thought you could even create such a beautiful bouquet of roses with Lego bricks.
    When I was a child, there weren't any Lego bricks, and I never had the opportunity to play with them again. But the bricks themselves are a wonderful thing; they teach creativity, develop skills, etc.
    A beautiful bouquet, and it's not just roses...
    Best regards :)

    1. I was very surprised when I first saw the Lego's made into a bunch of roses, I thought Lego has come a long way.
      Lego have been around for many years they must not have been available when you were young in your country :)

  15. Dear Margaret,
    I've heard of Lego Sidney Opera House or Lego Berlin Brandeburg gate, but not of roses 😀 I like them 🌹

    1. There is Mary, some are very expensive too. There are two Tasmanian Devils with a man at the back of them, that would be good to do but it's costly.

  18. The LEGO roses are very, very pretty. I have a LEGO camera that I made. So fun.

  19. The roses are very lovely. I have a mini (micro?) set of lego which becomes a Christmas Tree. I've had it for years and simply cannot work out how it goes together and the pieces are so tiny.

    1. Oh have you. Did you look online how to do it, as I believe many of the Lego sets instructions are online, but I don't know if your tree is there, R.
