It really has been pretty quiet here, and I haven’t been helping that much! Between nearing the end of Polka season and my birthday, last week was so busy that I just didn’t have time to post.
I got to celebrate with some presents from my loved ones. My roommate (who is like my & my spouse’s adopted sibling) is big into Legos, and he gifted me with this magnificent creature: the Lego Ideas Tuxedo Cat. It’s so beautiful. I think it took me somewhere between 6-8hrs to finish it. Madame Evie for scale.
My mom got me this off-brand “Lego” Eevee 2nd hand - she was late to my birthday party because she spent an hour taking it apart LOL. I somehow ended up with both missing and spare pieces when I completed it, though, so I’m a little bamboozled. Regardless, she’s functional and exists on my Pokémon shelf next to her plushie counterpart. I’ve always been a big Pokémon fan and Eevee is probably my favorite Poké, so it’s only appropriate. (plus it’s like a trans icon, so 
)
I finished one of the small kits my sweetheart gifted me (the new Potion Corner) - just neglected to take any pictures of the process or finished product 'til today 
But ALAS. I added a frame that I didn’t use from a different kit for one of the pictures, on top of the cabinet. I didn’t like them on the cabinet blocking the pretty woodwork or keeping the door from opening, so one got framed and one got knocked onto the floor by this pesky black kitty. For some reason, cats always love rolling around on important papers… I also changed out some of the foliage to add some variety. plus lots of greens, added a real Fluorite crystal, some highlights with a gold paint pen, and cleaned up some edges with a black paint pen. nothing too crazy, since I really love the base kit.
Lastly, yesterday I started on this Floral Corner Booknook that my sweetheart also gifted me, but a couple of days after the first gifts so I never made a post about it 
(he also gifted me the A-Frame Cabin which is 200% dream house vibes for the two of us, so I’m very excited for this one - just waiting 'til after fall 
). He picked this one out from outside the list I gave him because 1. none of the larger ones on my list were ones he could find locally (I guess? silly boy); and 2. he thought I’d like it, so I actually love that the choice has his fingerprints all over it. Plus, as I’m putting it together, it’s way cuter than the pictures make it out to be so I’m very pleased with the aesthetic. Always love a kitty cat. Flowers are awesome

I have one last project that I’ve finished that I haven’t shared with you yet, and that’s because 1. it’s not close enough to Halloween, and 2. I need to correct my LED situation… I’ll explain when I finally post about the kit, but suffice it to say I made some incorrect voltage choices and need to add some resistors once that’s fixed, though, this bad boy will be good to go!
Happy October, y’all! 
Madame Evie next to the Tuxedo Cat is adorable, and your Floral Corner customization looks amazing! Hope you fix those LEDs soon, excited for the next reveal!
and the scale is quite realistic for it.
