Ships and buildings are my thing when it comes to LEGO, but by buildings, I tend to mean sets that are part of the Creator Expert category rather than famous architectural buildings. However, far from me to turn down a free LEGO set! My father-in-law found a brand new set for me at a yardContinue reading “LEGO Build Report: The White House”

LEGO Build Report: NASA Space Shuttle Discovery
Once upon a time, I was going to be an astronaut. Then I learned more about math and science and noped straight out of that. My career goals changed, but my passion for space never waned. Even though most of the ships in my LEGO collection are of the Star Wars variety, I finally finishedContinue reading “LEGO Build Report: NASA Space Shuttle Discovery”
LEGO Build Report: International Space Station
I asked Twitter which LEGO set I should build next during my spouse’s February work weekend. The overwhelming winner was the Space Shuttle Discovery, a set that clocks in at over 2,000 pieces. That’s definitely a 2-day build. Unfortunately, I lost all of Saturday to boring grown-up stuff, so I substituted the International Space StationContinue reading “LEGO Build Report: International Space Station”
LEGO Build Report: The Child
You know by now that I’m a “ships and buildings” sort of girl, in the types of LEGO sets that I buy for myself. That doesn’t mean I’ll stick my nose up when friends gift me sets they’ll think I enjoy. In this case, I received a combined Christmas/birthday gift in the form of theContinue reading “LEGO Build Report: The Child”
LEGO Build Report: The Razor Crest
Remember when I built my new typewriter LEGO set over the holidays? The spouse joined me to build one of his own! Though I am currently the uncontested LEGO aficionado in our household, he grew up building them, and we have an agreement that certain sets we purchase will be his to complete. With hisContinue reading “LEGO Build Report: The Razor Crest”
LEGO Build Report: Typewriter
Since the spouse and I still had an entire 3 days off between when we got back from our holiday vacation and returning to work after the new year, I spend 2 of them building LEGO and binge-watching television shows. As I writer, you know it was only a matter of time until I gotContinue reading “LEGO Build Report: Typewriter”
LEGO Build Report: Bookshop
That awkward moment when you almost completely forget to blog about the LEGO build that is the MOST RELEVANT to your entire brand. Actually, that might also be completely on-brand for me. Last fall, I kicked the reorganization of my LEGO room guest room into high gear, which led to the completely obvious distraction ofContinue reading “LEGO Build Report: Bookshop”
LEGO Build Report: Escape from The Ten Rings & Battle at the Ancient Village
Last month, I was honored to officiate the wedding of my best friend to her beautiful new wife. The officiant is not typically part of the full bridal party, but they considered me on par with the Best Man. They know their friends well, and my bridal party gift from the new couple included twoContinue reading “LEGO Build Report: Escape from The Ten Rings & Battle at the Ancient Village”
Build Report: Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown
As a belated reward for publishing Steel Justice, I treated myself to a reward over Labor Day weekend by finally building Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum. I adore the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but since I prefer building ships and buildings versus dioramas meant for younger LEGO fans, there’s not much in that theme for me. Thus,Continue reading “Build Report: Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown”
Build Report: Charms Class & Herbology Class
It’s been a while since I built any LEGO sets for one reason: Lack of space in the official LEGO room (otherwise known as my guest room). However, these adorable sets look like books, so I justified putting them together knowing that they would go on the bookshelves in my living room. Supporting our individualContinue reading “Build Report: Charms Class & Herbology Class”
