Why Lego helps me with hooking.

   Lots of you know that I am a hooker. That is to say I hook handmade rugs with the Alberta Handicraft guild and we meet once a month. There are a lot of members (around 50-ish) and since I volunteer to run the store, I see most of them face to face at my table, so they can see the shame all over my face when I forget their name… again.  (Did I mention I have been a member for three years?)       It's something I'm working on.

   To help others avoid the same discomfort, I have decided to make myself a nice Lego name tag!

 Here's the glue I used, LePage Super Glue, and just glued two small magnets to the back (as well as used two more small magnets for the inside of my shirt) and the rest is just clipped to the front so I can change it but you could glue the mini figures if you felt fancy and committed. Tip: glue second magnet only after the first one dries, which is very quickly, but man those little magnets are strong!
 



   I have to say, the hardest part  was choosing all the little pieces and fitting them all in while still being able to read my name! ( I used my label maker for the name part but I think a print out  and some tape would do.)


And that's it! Now you are in the know. These make great gifts for all the Lego aficionados in your life young or old, Francis was so excited to make one with me! I still think his needs some flowers or jewels.
