It's been more than 6 months since I last posted and while I haven't been idle in that time I haven't exactly been productive either.
The most interesting, un-craft related thing we've done is visit the Art of the Brick exhibit. It was full of really neat and inspiring Lego art. Below are some of my favorites.

| Who doesn't love a Lego dino? |
 |
| There were several pairs like this, a picture with Lego elements and then the physical Lego build nearby. |
 |
| Near the end, there was a Lego model of the exhibit itself. |
As far as projects go, the big thing I'm working on is recovering a chair. I have inherited a large golden chair that was upholstered by my paternal grandmother as a wedding gift for my parents. At one time it had a sofa that matched but my parents got rid of it long ago. It has been in our apartment/house since our wedding and unfortunately had really been torn up by our cats.

I am not very far along in the process. I have broken the chair down and its ready to be recovered but I need to buy new cotton batting before I can get started.

Found a random assortment of items lost inside the chair.

I also spent a little time making dog bandanas for my brother-in-law's dogs as a housewarming gift since they just bought their first house.

| This is Toph and Kida, visiting our house for the Fourth of July. |

| I used freezer paper stencils to add designs. |

We have also started our Seafall game. We are about 3 sessions into it. I haven't been able to finish the chests I was 3D printing because we had to order a replacement cord. I am actually running test prints while I type this, we should be back up and running.
We also finally put up a shelf in the living room to display our Voltron Lions!
Finally, I've decided to try and make Wakandan battle armor for this plush rhino from Ikea. I don't really know what we are going to do with it when it's done, it's sort of a trial to see if I can do it sort of project.
