Lego Photo #5: My Dad and I on a Bench

This was my second Lego photo that I took. It was for Dad's father's day last year. He has an affinity for benches, so I thought us hanging out on a bench would be fun, and I wanted to incorporate the outdoors.  I found a spot across from our apartment under a tree that had a nice root to put the bench on, and a day when the grass wasn't too long. These were the top two.

I liked this one because of the sky in the background, and the grass in the foreground. 

But I liked the better focus on the minifigs more in this one.

Leather Moustachios


My latest sewing endeavour has been to make a series of leather moustaches. I chose a variety of types and colours and stitched them to background squares. I carefully stopped sewing before I got all the way around, so that I could add in a bit of stuffing, to get them dimension. Each frame is about 6"x6". I got the leather from someone who was giving away their sample kits for couches. So I have many small rectangles, and have been trying to come up with projects to use them on. Here are some close ups to see the textures.
