Moose Crossing by Brooke Faulder – Milton Bradley – 300 pieces

I loved this puzzle, the colors were beautiful and the pieces were very good quality. I highly recommend it!

 

 

 

This was a fun puzzle to play with, but I was pretty disappointed with the pieces themselves. If they mean for you to assemble this puzzle and play with it making different faces I feel the quality of the chipboard should be much stronger.

Almond Blossom by Vincent Van Gogh – Wentworth Wooden Puzzles – 40 pieces

Beautiful puzzle that made me wish mom were here to help me assemble it. I rarely need help with such a small puzzle, but I wished we could have worked on it together.

Provence Market by Sam Park – Milton Bradley – 300 pieces

Lovely painting – it did make for a more challenging assembly, but I was counting on that!

Daisy Field Farm by Art Poulin – MasterPieces – 300 pieces

Another fun bathroom puzzle! LOL I let hubby put in the last 10 pieces by himself, I’m so generous. 😉

Dragonfly by Jody Bergsma – Ravensburger – 500 pieces

Beautiful, challenging puzzle! It took me a few days but I enjoyed every single piece. Great fun. 🙂

Sunset Over a Busy Day – Milton Bradley – 500 pieces

The colors in this puzzle are so pretty – the picture doesn’t do it justice at all. Large pieces, beautiful colors, great fit. Excellent puzzle!

Mixed Flowers in an Earthenware Pot by Pierre Auguste Renoir – Wentworth Wooden Puzzles – 40 pieces

I haven’t been well enough to get out of bed much these days, so I’m assembling some more of my Wentworth micro puzzles. This one was beautiful and engaging, you won’t be surprised to hear that I loved it!

Winter in the City by Jim Mitchell – Wentworth Wooden Puzzles – 40 pieces

I love these puzzles that I can work on a tray while laying in bed. They require just enough concentration, and make me very happy.

Meadow Cottage by Dominic Davison – Wentworth Wooden Puzzles – 40 pieces

I love this scene, Dominic Davison’s artwork is calming and beautiful. Wooden puzzles and gorgeous artwork are a lovely match. 🙂

London, The Thames by Giovanni Canal – Wentworth Wooden Puzzles – 40 pieces

The name of this image is much bigger than this micro puzzle! It isn’t my usual preferred artwork, but it was more fun to assemble than I imagined.

 

 

 

I’ve assembled the Ji Ga Zo puzzle several times before. I decided for Mother’s Day that a puzzle of my momma would be fun, and it was!

Jazz Dance by William Bolin – NY Puzzle Company – 750 pieces

Old magazine covers fascinate me, and this is the first one I think I’ve done as a jigsaw puzzle. I’m looking forward to doing more!

Arcane Shelfie by Justin Hillgrove – Arifact Puzzles – 121 pieces

OMG this puzzle was much more difficult than I assumed, but so much fun! My daughter and I worked on it together and I loved it. 💕

Penguin Pandemonium – Wentworth Wooden Puzzles – 41 pieces

This was the most difficult micro puzzle I’ve assembled so far. I even gave up on it at one point! It was still fun though, and has me looking forward to the other extra challenging ones I have yet to do. They’ll be part of Christmas in July here on the blog. 🎄

Butterfly Kingdom – Bone Owl Puzzles – 1000 pieces

This gorgeous puzzle is from a new company and I was sent this puzzle to review. The random cut made it an exceptionally fun challenge and it was lovely to assemble!

Pasture’s Edge (Moo) – Ceaco – 550 pieces

I liked this image very much, the cows look really pissed and it makes me laugh every time I look at it. 🙂

Bearsville by Roger Nannini – Ceaco – 300 pieces

Fun puzzle that was quick to assemble, but kept my mind busy – which is definitely what I was looking for. I enjoyed it very much!

Well Head by Richard Welker – Ceaco – 550 pieces

Mom came over this morning and helped me finish this puzzle. We worked well together, I’ve missed it so much! Excellent fit, and really nice quality for a Ceaco. 🙂

 

 

This is the Ultimate Puzzle, 16 pieces with many, many possible solutions. It’s a great little brain teaser and fun to sit and play with!

Doc’s Pond by Loren Blackburn – Sure-Lox – 300 pieces

This was a quick, fun puzzle even though the quality wasn’t the greatest. It’s a pretty image, but also pretty challenging.

First Trip to the Beauty Shop by Norman Rockwell – Kappa Books Publishers – 500 pieces

Can you believe it? I did it! The whole puzzle! I will NEVER assemble a puzzle from this company again, worst quality jigsaw puzzle I’ve ever done. But it’s cute though, right? 😉

59 National Parks – Wilderness & Wonder – True South Puzzle Co. – 500 pieces

A brand new company I’d never heard of before, mom found this one at a thrift store in Texas. Great quality, and a really fun collage to assemble!

Birds by Jane Tattersfield – Liberty Puzzles – 509 pieces

Gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, intricate – the adjectives are endless. This was the most entertaining puzzle I’ve done so far this year. Next up is the alternate solution, and who knows how long that’s gonna take?
