My fabulous daughter got me this personalized travel cup for Mother’s Day – does she know her momma or what? I love it! The letters inside the pieces are the initials of my kids. (She had to explain that to me, but in my defense I had taken my pain meds and my brain cells weren’t fully present)
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! 💖
I’ve picked this image out of my stash of wooden micro puzzles to work on today – Glenny’s Garden Shop by Steve Read. A lot of flowers in a puzzle can be trying at times, but at 40 pieces I can assemble just about any image!
I’ve also pulled out another flowery image, Roses Around the Door by Stephen Darbishire, again a wooden micro puzzle by Wentworth.
It’s a little fuzzier and brushstroke-y, the kind of artwork that I think is best puzzled in tiny little bits. Perhaps only 40 little bits. 😉
I’m working on building my queue back up, since my mojo seems to have finally gotten a ride back to me and is on the way home. So the plan for today is these two micro puzzles, as well as two of the educational 24 piece kids puzzles that need assembly. After I finish those four my plan is to start working on a 1000 piece collage that I’m very much looking forward to.
So many brights colors and lots of words! Awesome!!!
Aimee Stewart puzzles are colorful, entertaining, and full of wonderful details – they’re the best! ❤
I’d love to work this same image in a larger piece count; I’ve done many donut puzzles in my time, and they’ve always been lots of fun. This one was as well, but it would be enjoyable in a 500 or 1000 piece too. 🙂
I started sorting this 500 piece Buffalo puzzle this morning. I’m looking forward to putting together so many signs and words – words to assemble are my happy place. 🙂
Mom and I finished The Messenger yesterday, and I also started and completed a 300 piece after mom went home. Can’t say my mojo is back entirely, but perhaps it’s on it’s way home.
My oldest is driving me to Sam’s Club this morning to pick up a couple of things (and get more driving practice before his road test 😱). I wonder if they have jigsaw puzzles there? Hmmm.
This is a GORGEOUS image, although it was a little tough in certain sections it was quite fun to assemble. It was very odd to work a grid cut Sunsout, there aren’t many of them around that I’ve seen.
This is another secondhand puzzle that my daughter gave to me, and I’m happy to say it was much nicer to put together than the other one. Sunsout isn’t one of my favorite brands, but I’ve worked some really nice puzzles of theirs too. Most of their puzzles that I’ve done have been a random cut, and this was a refreshing change. The pieces were a good thickness, fit together quite well, and the image reproduction was stellar.
As I’m writing up today’s post it’s reminding me of why I love puzzles. Beautiful images cut into little pieces; and I get to bring order to the chaos. A jumbled bunch of pieces with many colors turns into a complete picture using only my brain and hands. And while I’m putting it together it almost a meditative state; all I think about is what shape fits here, and what color goes there. It’s calming, entertaining, and many other words my sleep-deprived brain can’t think of at the moment. Puzzling rocks! 🤘
