Good morning Fedi friends!

Good morning Fedi friends! I hope you had a lovely Christmas Day.

I spent 6+ hours building LEGO sets yesterday - one for my child (a pirate ship) & one for myself (the Wicked Emerald City Wall Art - still a work in progress).

I was checking my fedi feed from time to time and it was making me SO HAPPY to see many friends building LEGO sets. It seems a popular hobby here 💛

You should have seen my excitement when I found a rare teal brick separator in the Wicked set 😂

Have a great day everyone

@_elena that's such a fun way to spend christmas 🥰

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@Gina indeed!

Although not the most relaxing LEGO experience when you have to entertain a small child, making the characters talk while building the set (shark included)… and being on the lookout because said child would steal random pieces from the set to build her own stuff 😂

@_elena nice build! We have 5 LEGO sets found under the tree! Will be building them in coming weeks. Enjoy! ;-)

@_elena @Gina

Oh, this made me chuckle 😁🤗

@_elena There were not a lot of Lego boxes this year, but there was a very good one!

[gedeonm@mastodon.social]

@_elena Looks like good progress! Woot!

@gedeonm I just finished the Wicked set and I have to say, it was the most fun / satisfying set I ever built. Plus it's absolutely gorgeous and has several hideouts (hidden things you reveal by removing pieces). I ordered the lights and they're on their way. I can't wait 😊

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@jens wow! amazing 🤩

It's 2:45pm on the 26th of December and I finally finished building all the LEGO sets. I can socialize again LOL

@_elena Def let us know how the light install goes. I’ve never done one of these I’m really curious to know esp since you are adding it after construction. Curious to know how that works…

[phillycodehound@indieweb.social]

@_elena @gedeonm Sounds like a fun build.

[phillycodehound@indieweb.social]

@_elena Do yo have a finished pick of the Wicked Set?

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@phillycodehound I’ll take one when I’m back home Seth (now taking my little one to a cycling circuit) 😅

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@gedeonm for sure! There’s actually a super easy to follow 30 minute video tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I6D9KG4fB4

@_elena Have fun!

@_elena my kids got their first Lego bins for Christmas this year, and both my mom and I happened to get my dad the same Lego set (the Lego Creator Camera one) so it's been a very Lego Christmas in my family too!

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@trainguyrom Lovely ☺️

@phillycodehound here we go 🤗✨💚
