Thanks! :) We can all raise an army of Lego accessories.

Hi Cheng! I suppose it can be pinned onto a clutch too. Or anything, come to think of it. You are right.

This is ingenious!! You could sell this!

Thanks Regina, but in actual fact somebody already is ;)

This was not my idea, although I took it and refined it (my middle part is differently constructed). It doesn't really make sense to buy something like this, since it can be very easily made with little cost. It sells for $125 (?!) on Dee & Ricky's site.

OMGEEEE I LOVE THIS!!! i like the landscape picture of your lego people and the bow on the shoes is so BEAUTIFUL. (!!!)

Thanks Janet :) I rather like the shoe myself... but it doesn't look as good from the front because the bow is too big. Wishing you luck on your exchange programme!

right after your post i went to ebay to search for lego bits u know! lol USA really do have lots of lego bits cheaper than in SG -__- i actually like it huge! i may have worn it as a bow tie since its more obvious that way but it may too heavy. thanks for the wishes! im was too busy packing and neatening up the house and doing the administrative work to blog and surf blogs properly, sorry for being inactive. i love your europe pictures too :)

Actually you can buy individual Lego pieces from the official Lego online shop too! There's a long list of inventory there, the link is here: http://shop.lego.com/Product/Factory/PickABrick/PickABrick.aspx?cn=26

Is ebay selling the Lego pieces cheaper than the official online shop? Should be, right. It's not that I find fault with the size of the bow per se, but I find it too big to sit well on a shoe. Love the idea, but execution not so good.

It's alright, don't worry! Of course you should focus on preparing for the next exciting phase of your life ;)
