Dear Diary,

My new Legos are arriving tomorrow! One day early! This time it’s the Fiat 500. I have to look that up and then I had to look it up again to make sure I spelled Fiat right. It’s the yellow car with the easel you can set up behind it holding a painting of the very same car! I’d like to be the kind of person who takes time out of her day to paint her car.

I know I haven’t talked much about my other Lego creations. It’s just that Legoing is a thankless job. A fully built set hides your hard work and if you’ll never be able to take a photo of the finished project better than Lego themselves. I will let you know what I’ve been up to, though.

I finished this bad boy bookshop yesterday.* There’s an attached house with a lady who prunes her flowers** as friendly neighbors stroll by. One appears to be carrying a book called Moby Brick (Get it?) into the bookshop so I assume they buy used books which I appreciate. It has 2504 pieces. All floors are fully furnished. There’s a fucking iguana in a tank that’s a dozen bricks strong.

 

The nutcracker was a stress relief build. I did him in one shot, purely out of spite for the bookstore. I got him free last year, I think, or else he was meant for a kid and I forgot. 

Before the bookshop I bought the VW Bus (with real curtains!)

and the Beetle with multiple options for license plates!

I won’t rush to share my journey with the Fiat 500 with easel but I do hope you’ll keep us in mind.

* I impulse bought a corner garage while searching for this image.

**The lady on the stairs is pruning flowers on the box, I swear to God.
