"We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."

 

                                                                       Day 1... (part 2)

With another 4 weeks of national lockdown starting now, I'm feeling like the only way through this is back to daily activities concentrating on creativity. The creative lockdown project really helped to keep us in a Calm and focused headspace while the whole world was falling apart. So for the next 4 weeks our home-ed will be focussing solely on a variety of creative activities base on a word of the day. It's been a really tough month emotionally and I think we both want to be feeling better about the path that we are on. I'm kicking off our project with our LEGO Halloween build for this year, an explosion of black and orange.

Stay safe people and keep on creating.

“If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!”

It seems that the macabre stories of Mary Shelley have made a lasting impression on that boy of mine. So much so that while writing about her in his history book that we have been creating, he decided to immortalise her in LEGO. His creation gave me the chance to show him how to take the colour out of the image and highlight the heart that he had added, giving his photo a little more character.

"they did the mash, they did the monster mash"

I feel like today we have reached our LEGO blogger peak, We received a message from Mrs M while me and the boys were out adventuring to say that there was a package waiting for us and when we got home there was a whole box of series 14 minifigures waiting for us. We've been sent some amazing things since writing for LEGO but this case has been the most exciting for so many different reasons. The LEGO horror and monster figures became my favourites after the release off the monster fighters kits a few years back. I've always been in to B-movies and zombie flicks so these are right up my street.

Since finding out about this series I have been waiting patiently for their release, so having a full case to play with is going to be a lot of fun. Stay tuned for some minifigure fun, I sense some form of zombie apocalypse just around the corner.
