This one went quickly, but for some reason it wasn’t as enjoyable as I’d hoped – or it could be that it was my state of mind and had nothing at all to do with the puzzle itself. Sometimes I just can’t tell.
Buzz was the most fun to assemble for me, but he was a bit of a challenge. I assembled him first.
I love Woody’s face, he always seems so surprised and happy. Those legs are so skinny though, how do they hold him up?
Beaches of South Walton – Blue Crab Designs – 1000 pieces
Interesting puzzle from a company I’ve never heard of before. I couldn’t find anything online about them either; they may not be in business still, I’m not sure.
Unfortunately it had a terribly mushy fit, but otherwise I found the quality of the pieces quite good. They were thick and had a good hand feel. The image seemed a little blurry, but I believe that was the nature of the artwork.
Apparently Bow Wow Meow is a pet supply store in South Walton; I just loved the name, very cute. 😉
The map portion of this puzzle was one of the most fun sections to assemble, although surprisingly I found the green section quite entertaining as well.
Overall the mushy fit was disappointing and did not make for a great first impression. I had high hopes for this puzzle because the chipboard used was very good, but the fit of the pieces made for a sometimes frustrating assembly.
It’s been a terrible week, I haven’t puzzled at all. I did touch some puzzle pieces when I started to sort the octagonal Springbok I found at mom’s house, but I just wasn’t feeling well and barely even got 50 pieces on a tray on Monday. I spent the rest of the day in bed, but then even when I was feeling a little better the rest of the week I just wasn’t in the mood for either the puzzle that was being sorted or for puzzling in general. It has just been an awful week for me.
I’ve decided to put the Springbok away for now and wait until the mood strikes me to try it again. I’m hoping to start sorting another puzzle today, but no guarantees. I’m in a funk and have yet to get myself out of it. Tomorrow I’m supposed to go through a bunch more of mom’s puzzles and more of her things, and I have to say – not looking forward to it.
I’d better get my a** in gear, I’m running out of puzzles to post again.
This one was hard! It’s only 300 pieces, but the image made it very difficult. I knew that going in, but I love the colors and thought it would be entertaining to assemble – it was.
I started with the purple, then the yellow peppers and the ties at the top. After that it was mostly just reds and greens, and I had to pay close attention. It was a lot of fun, even if I had to exercise my brain a bit. (It’s good for us older people to keep our brains sharp, and I do my best 👵)
Photographic images aren’t ones I usually go for, but this one was so bright and pretty, I couldn’t resist it.
I love this image so much, especially the look on her face. And the fact that her name tag says “Joy” is even funnier! Not only did she get an extremely small tip, they left it in spilled coffee – this whole thing cracks me up. 🙂
This was the last of four 100 piece puzzles that my daughter and I found while out puzzle shopping. I’m a little sad that there aren’t any more to do, they were so much fun and the images were all adorable and amusing. I’d love to find more of them.
