You never can really tell until you actually assemble the puzzle – this was way more fun than it looked to me at first! I LOVED IT
The amount of fantastic detail is amazing, and there were so many words I was in heaven! Of course, I should have known, Aimee Stewart puzzles are so entertaining to assemble; I’ve never been disappointed by any of them, and have sometimes been surprised at just how much I enjoyed putting them together. 💗
I’m starting this puzzle today; it has bright colors, with a simple but adorable image. It’s a 500 piece TCG puzzle called Doggie Heaven – and regular readers know how much I love the puppies. Hopefully it’ll be as fun as it looks. 🐶
I’m still working on the 2000 piece puzzle, but it’s going very slowly. I can only work on the assembly while sitting on the floor, and unfortunately I’ve strained the muscles in my neck and working on the floor isn’t possible at the moment. I’m not giving up on it though, and even though it may be a week or two until I’m able to really get back into it, I am absolutely planning on finishing it!
My third puzzle in progress is the Mystery Box puzzle, and mom and I made more significant progress yesterday; attaching several large chunks to piece together the roof, balcony, and top part of a smaller building. It’s very exciting every time we get a large section together!
That’s what I’m doing these days – 3 puzzles in progress. I’m thinking I might need a 12 step program for puzzle addiction, but I’d probably just try to rearrange the steps into the “proper” order so they’d fit together in a more pleasing manner. 😉
This puzzle is a great example of why you need to see the puzzle box close up and the puzzle assembled. I’ve seen this image many times before and thought only “Eh, it’s okay I guess” , but it was much more detailed and fun to assemble than I’d imagined. What an excellent puzzle!
This is one of the lot of puzzles I got from my Facebook Marketplace purchase and I wasn’t overly excited about assembling it – and boy was I wrong. It’s so interesting to me how I still cannot tell what puzzles I’ll enjoy and what puzzles I won’t. I’ve assembled a LOT of puzzles, I work on them every single day if I’m able, but still they constantly surprise me!
The quality was very good, this was the first 300 piece White Mountain that I’ve done. You can see in the above picture that the piece shape isn’t obvious and it almost looks like a picture. The fit was wonderful and the large pieces were very easy to work with. They had the typical WM shapes and thickness. The image reproduction is absolutely gorgeous….
The detail is amazing, and look how wonderfully grandma’s face is captured; it’s a gorgeous image, and was thoroughly entertaining to assemble! I haven’t done many Steve Read puzzles, but I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more of his work. I absolutely adored this one!
Check out the fantastic progress mom and I made yesterday! The last time we worked on it we got the top part of the building started (from the long windows up); when we began yesterday one of us said “it won’t be long until we can start adding all these window sections”. About 30 seconds later, one of us saw a connection and we were so excited!
You can see in the picture from my previous Mystery Box post all the window sections we had partially assembled on the right side. We had the majority of it in little bits and just had to find out how they all fit together. There were several pieces still to go, but once the big chunks were in it all went relatively quickly.
We had a great time! It’s starting to look like an actual image now, and it’s getting pretty exciting!
It’s hard for me to go into the puzzle room and not sit down to work on it. I try not to work on it when mom’s not here, since the purpose of the gift was for us to spend time together. I texted her last week and told her I “accidentally” worked on the puzzle. ☺ I took my husband in there to show him the progress we’d made that day and suddenly saw where one of the large chunks fit in – I couldn’t NOT put it in!
It’s been 40 days since we started, and we are no less delighted by it than we were on day one! 💝
I think this would be a fun puzzle in most any piece count, the artwork is beautiful! In a very large count the flowers and goldfinches would present quite a challenge – it would still be lovely though.
It’s so nice to still have many wooden micro puzzles here, if I’m feeling the need to puzzle when I’m not feeling well I can always assemble one of these beauties on a small tray no matter where I am. The quality is exceptional and the puzzling itself helps relieve stress and tension. We have the best hobby there is!
All the whimsies match the image this time, no guessing required! They also make for some very interestingly shaped pieces that fit around them, which always helps when the puzzle is somewhat difficult. Being only 40 pieces the difficulty level wasn’t too high, but it’s always nice to have a little assistance with the shapes. 🙂
