Good afternoon everyone!
I should preface this post by stating that I promise that I will get back to cross stitching soon but this is yet again another building block finish post 😆
In fact I have 2 set finishes!
The first is a Japanese Skyline that I worked on on Saturday and Monday. It was a total of 1350 nano building blocks and took me a total of 11.5 hours!

This was really fun to do and it allowed me to reminisce about our trip in 2019 because we saw or went to all of the landmarks shown! From left to right it includes: Osaka Castle, Mount Fuji, Sensoji Temple, the Shinkansen (bullet train), Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, and the Rainbow Bridge!
Here are a few pictures that I took of some of the landmarks on the set:

The second set I started and finished today was a Sembo Block Cherry Blossom Tree kit. Sembo Blocks are basically regular lego type blocks. I was expecting this to be a mini block set but it was still fun to do. Although I did manage to lose a piece, take forever to find it, then "lose" another piece, only to realize that I had used it in the wrong place by accident.....an hour later..... This set was 1103 pieces and took me about 8 hours to finish.

So this may or may not be the last set for a little bit. I'm not sure yet 😅
I hope everyone has been having a good day!
Happy Friday!
You seem to be having a lot of fun with these! And they are beautiful. I finished many of the sites myself when visiting Japan.
ReplyDeleteI am having a lot of fun with these sets. I especially like the nano blocks because of how much detail they have and they are compact in size compared to regular Legos! I loved everywhere we visited in Japan and we plan on going back in 2024 to see so many other sites and cities that we didn't get to last time!
DeleteI love that you're doing these as memories of your trips, you'll need to set up a display case for them all!
ReplyDeleteYes! I told my husband that I will have to buy another case to put them in because I have run out of room in my other ones!
DeleteThat cherry blossom is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It has been the most frustrating to put together out of all the block sets so far but I do love the end result!
