Tassy has quite a bit of Lego. Some is Dave's from when he was a child. Some is mine from when I was a child, although I accidentally killed most of my Lego a few years ago by sterilising the 25+yo pieces in boiling hot water. So DUMB. Don't ever do that. It totally warps it. I had to throw so much of it away it was heartbreaking. I had lots of house building type stuff like doors, windows, fences/railings, roof tiles. I loved all that stuff.
But back to Tassy's Lego. She said to me the other day "Do you know where the girl's hair is - the black hair with the ponytail?". There was no way I could find it amongst all the other Lego pieces - Lego people completely pulled to bits, including separated hands and even a pair of legs with one leg missing. I didn't even know that was possible! Plus all the rest of the regular Lego pieces in the box. So I set us a task of rebuilding ALL the Lego people. It took us a few hours, and we ended up with a few extra hands (does that mean there are some more bodies lying around somewhere?). I told her I had the perfect plan for her to find her people easily. She has this printers tray in her room that's never really had a purpose. It now has a perfect purpose. :)

What a great idea Yvette! They all look so cute in there all on display!
Sheree xx
Wow. that's fantastic!! It look fabulous. What patience you both had to find the bits and put all those people together.
What a shame about your old lego. You should have used Milton sterilising stuff. Well next time. I remembered that you loved the house building stuff and the roads. It must have been the architect in you.
Love Mum
WOW, what a perfect way to display all the lego figurines! My son is a bit over Lego now - maybe i could sneak it out to my craft room and display it there!! hehehe
Love how you organized the Legos. What a great idea!
The perfect place to display all the Lego people. Looks great. x
that looks so amazing! wishing i had some of my old lego peeps now!
I just bought a trinket display house from the op shop to display all my minifigs on! Think I'll paint it first tho.
Yours look great!!
Such a great idea!
Bummer about the boiling water. I'd never have thought. I've put ours in the dishwasher!!! Maybe I'll just go for the Pine O Clean from now on.

We only have a few sets of lego here, but I love it! to the point of colour coding it all to make it easier to build with!
