Dog Stamps

Dog Stamps sort

It’s been a few days again since I worked on a puzzle, but I’ve finally decided which puzzle is next and have gotten started. It’s a Bits and Pieces collage of dog stamps, and I’m sorting it and will be working on it in bed on my white board.

The puzzle is only 300 pieces, and the pieces themselves are oddly shaped. They’re quite blocky and somewhat geometric, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they fit together. Looking at the pieces, it seems like it’s going to be lots of fun. 🙂

Each stamp has the name of a country on it, so there are plenty of words to make me happy; and every stamp has one or more dogs on it, be still my heart!

80’s In Progress

80's IP

I finally got myself back to the puzzle table and started on this 1500 piece collage of the 80’s. It truly stuns me that this decade was more than 30 years ago. I must be very old indeed!

It’s going together very quickly, most likely because collages make me happy and I love assembling each little section. I didn’t spend much time on it yesterday, but hope to be able to get back there today. It makes me wish I had more collages in the to do pile, this one has been so enjoyable that it would be nice to have some more to do.

What’s Next?

I haven’t touched a puzzle in more than two days, it seems as if I’m in another funk. When I get like this every puzzle I look at just doesn’t excite me and I can’t seem to make a decision; it isn’t the puzzles really, it’s just the blahs. Stacey has a bit of a ‘tude today I’m sorry to tell you. 

Dog Tales 3

Perhaps just letting my puzzle friends know I’m in a funk and haven’t been puzzling is all I need to get myself back into the swing of things. I have PADS, and the predominant emotion today is unmotivated.

Save The Whales In Progress

Whales IP

I didn’t have much time yesterday when I was actually able to sit at the puzzle table, but I was determined to get this puzzle going – I’m so glad I did!

This image by Robert Williams (the Bob in Mr. Bob Puzzles) is the one that I was drawn to immediately when looking through their catalog of images. I love color and more modern artwork and this image is exactly my cup of tea, or pile of pieces as it were.

Save The Whales

After delaying gratification by assembling 100 Aussie Icons first (which was completely entertaining), it was nice to finally dive into Save The Whales. There was the obligatory sorting, turning over all the pieces, finding the whimsies and taking pictures – and then I was finally able to begin!

Unfortunately the time ran out on me and I wasn’t able to sit and puzzle for very long, but I am in love with this image and am having an awesome time with it already. There are still many more pieces to put together, and I’m looking forward to every single one. 💝

Wasgij? In Progress

Wasgij? 20th Anniversary in progress

Now don’t think I’m spoiling anything – I would never! This is actually a puzzle of the box image for the Wasgij? 20th Anniversary puzzle; the box comes with this bonus puzzle of the box image as well as the mystery puzzle from a character’s perspective. I haven’t assembled the mystery yet, but I’m having a great time with this bonus puzzle. 🙂

It shouldn’t be too long now until it’s done, it all depends on how I’m feeling. It’s been a rough couple of days, so this one is taking me a little longer than normal for a 1000 piece puzzle. No worries – it’s all about the journey, not about the speed.

Have a great weekend puzzling my friends!
