It feels great to be back to working on LEGO projects! Today, I'm releasing a new lil Brickheadz continuing my Animal Crossing collection that I started years ago! It's Kiki the fan-favorite adorable black cat! I've been going through all my previous MOCs and making small improvements where I can! I also got a recent request for a Kiki build, so while I was already revisiting my Animal Crossing cats, it seemed like the perfect opportunity!

Hello everyone! It's hard for me to believe that I haven't posted anything new in over a year, but don't worry, I'm ok LOL! My past year has been really good actually, just super busy! I have a bit of a breather at the moment, so I've been working on several projects all at once! One of my "projects" was to slightly update my username on Rebrickable from "ccZone" to "cczone" which ended up being much more of an involved process for me than I thought omg! Thankfully, Rebrickable handles all of the link updating on their site automatically, but to make sure my username changed everywhere else, I figured it would be a great idea to go through all of my pdf instructions and blog hyperlinks too... I'm glad I did though, because I found a lot of MOCs that could use some small improvements! I think my Animal Crossing villager collection received the most updates so I thought it would be exciting to show you some of the most noticeable ...

Today, I have a very exciting, new Pick a Brick haul to share with you! This order looks a bit different than my last haul, because instead of primarily stocking up on minifigure parts like last time, I decided to focus on stockpiling new and rare colors!

We're getting close to the end of the school year which means that it's also the exciting season of graduation! What better way to celebrate than with a graduate Brickheadz? My latest MOC on Rebrickable is just that, and it can be fully customized to look just like the amazing graduates in your life! With 360 different combinations, this MOC was quite the interesting build!

Here's a quick sneak peek of my new MOC coming next month! It's designed for a very special occasion, and  it will be extremely customizable! Any guesses?

Here's a brand new version of my 2024 Color Palette now including transparent colors at the top! The palette is also outlined with a new, sleek white frame to distinguish it from the original version! It worked out perfectly that the original palette had just enough columns to fit all of the current 11 transparent colors!

The final wave of Stardew Valley mosaics is out now on Rebrickable! This batch includes the memorable pufferfish, innocent rabbit, and deceptively cute slime! Making these sprites was so fun, and I really hope you enjoy building them just as much as I did!

For the second wave of Stardew Valley mosaics we have the cheerful duck, powerful stardrop, and exotic blue chicken! The stardrop and blue chicken specifically are both very rare in the game, so building them felt very special!

Today I'm releasing a brand new collection of free MOCs on Rebrickable! These MOCs are mosaics inspired by sprites from one of my favorite games, Stardew Valley! I've chosen 9 iconic sprites to recreate, and I'll be releasing a batch of 3 every day until the end of February! Today's mosaics are the classic chicken, delicious pumpkin, and adorable junimo!

Happy International LEGO Day! What better way to celebrate than with my first MOC of the new year? Here's my brand new color palette for 2024! I felt that since Reddish Orange has been introduced, it was time for a much needed update to my 2022 color palette! I had so much fun arranging the colors by their hue and brightness for this one, so I hope you enjoy using this color palette just as much as I do!

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season this year! It's been a while, but today, I have a very different type of post to share! I recently placed a Pick a Brick order, my first one in several years, and I thought it would be fun to share some of the interesting parts from the haul!

It's time for Black Friday! I'm running a 50% off sale for all my premium MOCs on Rebrickable! The Black Friday 2023 sale runs from November 19, 2023 to November 30, 2023!

Today I have a very special surprise villager to share! Say hello to Aurora the penguin! Aurora is a very cute villager, and she was so fun to build!

The last villager of wave 2 is finally here! Poppy the squirrel is making her way to Rebrickable! Poppy is such an adorable villager, and I think her Brickheadz turned out equally as cute!

Phoebe is making her way to Rebrickable today! Although she's technically an "ostrich" villager, I think we all know she's really a majestic phoenix in disguise!

Today's villager is the adorable pink cow, Norma! She was lots of fun to build, and I'm so happy with how she turned out!

Say hello to Hazel the squirrel! Hazel's iconic unibrow can be quite the controversial topic, but I think it certainly makes her unique and gives her character!

Today's newest villager is Freya the wolf! I think a lot of players overlook Freya, but she's actually such a great villager! Her striking colors, and snooty personality make her one of my personal favorites! Plus, her default house design is one of the best I've seen!

Our next villager of wave 2 is Ellie the elephant! Ellie is such a sweet villager, so I definitely thought she deserves her own Brickheadz! I'm actually not sure why she didn't make it in the original batch of villagers, but I'm glad she's finally joining our other elephants, Eloise and Margie, even if she's a bit late!

After months, my second wave of Animal Crossing Villager Brickheadz are finally ready! I apologize for the long wait, but I'm so excited to finally share these builds! Without further ado, meet the newest member of the family, Apple!
