crush // loving Lego

Kellie — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 04:05:59 +0000

Yesterday there was a bit of Lego in zesty finds, today there has been an explosion of Lego love and I couldn’t help but share it here.

To me, Lego is that perfect triumvirate of design, creativity and inspiration.

So first up is of course the release of the trailer of The Lego Movie, due out early next year.
Then there is The Art of the Brick display in Times Square, New York, featuring incredible Lego sculptures by Nathan Sawaya.
At Brickworld, a team recreated scenes from The Wizard of Oz, including a motorised tornado!
News Lego will bring out a set for the Mars Curiosity Rover.
And have you noticed the minifigs aren’t as happy as they used to be

limelight // jewelflyt

The great thing about social media is “meeting” new people and finding new pretties.

Such is the case with Jewelflyt.

I “met” Vickie, from South Australia, via Twitter. She makes unique jewellery pieces using silver, glass and semi-precious stones.

And yes, the camera pendant is now among my favourites.

Vickie also has a lovely blog here.

seeds // let’s go

Kellie — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 22:31:00 +0000

The sun was shining, the time was free, there was only one thing to do.

Get out there.

With the promise of a second glorious day on the weekend, we went for the cliched Sunday drive.

They say you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone. And after a week of grey days and drizzling rain, I didn’t realise how much I missed the sunshine ’til it came back.

You can’t let an opportunity like that pass you by.

The road wound around the lake and up into the hills. We stopped at a pub for lunch and caught a ferry on the way back. We laughed and chatted with friends and took photos.

Some days you just have to say: “Let’s go.”
