I am draggin’ butt this morning; I am still in bed and pretty much lack the energy to do anything at all today–even jigsaw puzzles. 😱
Many people who assemble puzzles are annoyed by “puzzle dust” in the box and on their boards. Us hardcore puzzlers know that if you need energy to puzzle you snort that Puzzle PCP and you’re raring to go!!
*do NOT snort puzzle dust*
I’m sorting my next puzzle at the moment, but it’s going very slowly. I got about a total of 20 minutes of sleep last night and I feel like I’m running on about six and a half brain cells. 🤨
You can see that it’s another collage, and I’m excited to start putting it together – there are dogs everywhere, they’re all books about dogs!
I hope all my friends in the PADS Posse are having a great weekend, and that you all get plenty of “me time” to put a few puzzle pieces together. ❤
Mom and I are currently working on another vintage puzzle, this one is much smaller but it’s beautifully cut and much easier to figure out what it is – there’s a wedding!
It’s a Pastime puzzle, like the municipal building we assembled, and the figurals are familiar looking as well. Like the first mystery, we don’t know what the finished image will be, and we don’t know if it’s complete – but that’s not really the point of putting this puzzle together. The point is enjoying the puzzle and spending time together enjoying each other’s company. 💖
It’s a little less difficult than our big puzzle, there is much more color to assist with finding pieces, but just as much color line cutting – as you can tell by the bride’s veil, we have no idea what’s behind her! We revel in the challenge of it, and every time we find a connection we feel a little better about our aging brains. 👵
Happy Friday everyone! I had another day-long drive this week for a medical appointment, so I’m resting up from the journey and planning what puzzle to do next. I’ve got a couple of new puzzles to review, so it’s only a matter choosing between the two.
What are you working on this first weekend of Spring? Something warm and flowery?
I bought a few more “mystery” puzzles on eBay in the past week. They’re all vintage wooden puzzles, and all a mystery as we have no idea what the images will be. 😎
The first one to arrive (some of the pieces are shown above) is amazingly cut; and although it isn’t as sturdy as our municipal building puzzle, the intricate almost coral-like cuts are definitely fun to work with and the fit is even tighter than the big puzzle! Mom and I finished it yesterday – 3 missing pieces and a few broken tabs – but I truly wasn’t disappointed, we enjoyed it very much! I’ll be posting about it when it comes up in the rotation.
2 more are on their way. One is complete (according to the seller), and the other looks to be cut by the same person as the municipal building puzzle. We’re not sure if the second one is complete, but we are very excited about working with pieces like that again and seeing what both images turn out to be!
I know, I’m a crazy person. But I’m adorable and fun too, so it all works out. 😇
