Assembling the LEGO succulents

One of my birthday gifts was the LEGO Botanical Collections succulents kit. Plants I can’t kill? Futzy little bricks? Sign me up!

lego botanical succulent kit
Three books with corresponding bags.
An assortment of lego pieces in various shades of green, with some yellow, brown, and black.
Book 1 and bag 1, sorted by color because I am a civilized adult.
Step one complete: this is a Hens and Chicks, an Orange Echeveria, and an Aloe plant.
Lego pieces in lilac, various shades of green, coral, black, and brown.
Book 2, bag 2: sorted into colors because I try to present as mentally stable.
a lego brick removal tool pried beneath the pop tab of a diet dr. pepper can
By the way, the Lego tool makes an EXCELLENT pop tab can opener.
Random succulent, Lavender Echeveria, and Moon Cactus.
piles of lego bricks in various shades of green, brick red, black, and some tiny gun pieces
Book 3, bags 3. Yes, those are guns. But let’s turn them into plants. I’m down with that.
The gun pieces as the inner part of a flower. I'm wearing Lincoln Park after Dark nail polish.
The guns became stems for the lower layer of leaves.
Last 3 complete: Red Echeveria,Ball Cactus, and Burro’s tail.
Nine Lego Succulent plants connected together.
Complete!

And all together! It took me about 2 and a half hours to complete, with breaks for laundry. I loved this set and I think it’s perfect if you can’t sit for a few hours to do it – you can build one plant at a time and it’s a good hit of instant gratification.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
