May the Fourth be with You!

So, have you heard the news??? Today is celebrated as "unofficial" Star Wars Day...get it? May the Fourth be with you? I know, cheesy to say the least!

But, there was actually an official link released earlier last month reporting that today, at 9:00 EST Lucas Arts would be revealing some majorly cool stuff about upcoming Star Wars projects. Of course, when I went to check it out, the site has crashed do to pure hit numbers. Now, supposedly the leaked info is that the entire series will be released as a Blue Ray set in the fall. This is so much more reasonable than the earlier theories that it would all be released as a 3D version. I mean, I know that they computer enhanced all the films when they came out on DVD, so theoretically adding 3D enhancements would not be impossible, but really? KWIM?

Well, since I can't hook you up with official Star Wars geek info, I thought I'd leave you with this cute little Lego Star Wars Video I found that basically summarizes the saga. Enjoy!

One hundred days

Well, my son had his "Hundred days" party finally at school. It was delayed a bit this year due to snow! Part of their celebration was to make a shirt at home that had 100 objects on it. They got to choose how to decorate it...paint, markers, stickers, or sewing on objects, etc. You know my son LOVES his Legos, so we had to incorporate that somehow.


It ended up being a pretty inexpensive project, just a little time consuming! I wasn't able to find any Lego related iron-ons, and my inkjet printer is running low, so making a transfer like the Star Wars rainbow shirt wan't going to work. We found some iron-on flock numbers by SEI on clearance for a couple bucks at Hobby Lobby. Now, the ones we got didn't have the outer white frame layer like this snapshot below, but you get the idea (I think they were clearanced because they're the "older style" from SEI).

I just used a small pair of scissors and cut the numbers up into little Lego like bricks. I also made some using a small (1/8 inch, I think?) hole punch to make it look like the bricks viewed from above. We were able to cut up a few extra "1"s and a "2" and get our hundred bricks of assorted styles and sizes. Then it was a simple job to iron them onto s $3 shirt from Hobby Lobby as well. Voila!
