I’ve got a few puzzles going at the moment…

Color Garden – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces
This is one of my “bathroom puzzles” in progress. The lighting in this picture doesn’t do it justice; it’s an excellent image that I’m truly enjoying working on even if it’s only just a few pieces at a time.

Kuala Lumpur by Harimao Lee – Blanc Puzzles – 300 pieces
This is the puzzle on my board right now. Yesterday was a terrible pain day and I basically didn’t get out of bed until early this morning to update this post – so this puzzle sat alone and unloved all day. I thought it would be finished by now, but it looks like it won’t be completely assembled until perhaps later today or maybe even tomorrow. It’s been pretty fun so far, but the easy part is over and now all that’s left is the more difficult section at the top, we’ll see how it goes.

Flower Bee – Crafthub – 146 pieces
This horrid little puzzle is something I’m almost regretting purchasing in the first place, but at the same time I’m glad I gave it a shot. At the very least I can warn others not to purchase any of these terrible quality things.
In the beginning it was being assembled in one of my trays (in bed) but I had to move it to one corner of my fabric-covered board – because the pieces do not connect together well or at all, and the slightest touch will disrupt everything. I was constantly having to reposition pieces that moved around because they were accidentally brushed with my arm or merely by trying to connect another piece. The fabric makes it a little less likely that pieces come apart with an accidental touch.
I bought this wooden puzzle because it was – no joke – $7.99. Here’s what I’ll say about that…you get what you pay for and I should have known better. To say I’m disappointed in the quality would be a gross understatement; I’m disgusted with myself for buying it and am finding the assembly oddly engrossing as well as extremely frustrating. But, as usual, I’ve got a bee in my bonnet (no pun intended) about finishing this one. You’ll be hearing plenty from me when I post about the puzzle once it’s complete. I have MUCH to say about it. 🤬
I’m hoping to have all three finished before we leave for our vacation on Thursday. It’s always good to come to home to an empty board; we might find a fun looking puzzle or two while we we’re out and I might want to get to assembling it right away when we return. 😎
So those are the puzzles in various states of assembly right now at my house. What are you working on?
That is so unfortunate about the quality of the bee puzzle as it looks like an adorable image!

It’s a fantastic image, but the puzzle quality is awful. Thinking about it I’ve never had a bad quality wooden puzzle before – there’s a first time for everything I suppose.

I was thinking that as well, I’ve never even heard about a wooden puzzle with a bad fit before.

I was very surprised, that’s for sure.

I actually haven’t puzzled in a few days as I’m currently building a lego kit. (But I have two puzzle posts in draft status that I’ve been working on a bit)
P.S. Sorry about poor quality of your Craft Hub puzzle. I briefly visited their site, it seems they are going out of business and having a closing sale??

Yep, that’s why I took a chance on a few puzzles, because they were so cheap – unfortunately, so was the quality.
How goes your lego kit?
