Spotted! Mothers Day Gift Idea – Penguin Pencils!

I LOVE pencils. I LOVE the iconic Penguin design. Mix the two together? *sighs happily* I actually own this set – and I use it every single day. It makes me happy. What more do you need to know?

LEGO – where did it all go wrong?

There has been much talk on many blogs over recent weeks over the new LEGO Friends. I’m not going to start yet another blithering on the ghastly hideousness of the stereotyping subject matter of these sets – suffice to say that it’s just… bad. But I do want to say something quite important. This… … is not a LEGO set. Sorry, but it’s not. It’s a small figure playset, for sure, but what...
