Finish Friday 5/28/21

 Happy Friday everyone! 

I have a finish to share with you all but not a cross stitching finish 😝

While visiting the two forts in Puerto Rico, I found a mini building blocks replica of El Morro and just had to have it! It was a total of 637 extremely tiny lego-like pieces that made my fingers hurt but it was pretty fun to put together.

I thought the replica was pretty accurate! Here is an aerial view of the real thing:


It took me about 6.5 hours total over 2 days to put together during down time at work last Saturday and Sunday. Of course it was my luck that the very last piece to go on was the flag which was supposed to use stickers for the design and I couldn't find the stickers anywhere. So I have managed to lose those but I will make a replacement at some point and get it on there!

Here are some photos of the various layers that make up the whole model set.






I really enjoyed putting this together and plan on putting another one together next week of another Puerto Rican historical site that we visited! 

Have a great day!

  1. That's wonderful. I do enjoy Lego. My son and I have been watching the Lego Master Designer series on TV, it's a competition to see who can build the best Lego models!

    1. I can't wait until my kids are a little older and hopefully want to make all the crazy Lego sets! I remember seeing commercials for the series but I never had a chance to watch it! I'll have to check it out eventually!
