Cat House – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

We all know cat puzzles aren’t really my thing, but in a small puzzle like this it wasn’t bad at all. Besides, they’re painted and silly looking, those are definitely my things. It was a quick assembly for the most part; some was assembled in the bathroom, and the rest was put together in the puzzle room for a quicker completion.

*Forgive the shiny picture, it didn’t want to sit pretty when I tried to put the board against the wall so I had to take the pic standing over it and I couldn’t completely get rid of the glare.*

Sometimes I forget that it isn’t easy to see how small these puzzles actually are without something to compare them to…

They’re quite small, and it should be annoying for me and my aging eyes to work with – but they’re the opposite of annoying. I LOVE working with the little pieces and being able to lay the whole puzzle out on a cookie sheet that I can take to any room in the house. And I’m not sure why, but when I get one finished the sense of accomplishment is so much bigger than the little puzzle itself.

I’ve already got another one going in the bathroom. I’ve got quite a few here to do, and this month’s new puzzles are already on their way!

Puzzle Pride – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

Even though this image was quite difficult I loved this one. As an added bonus part of the proceeds from the sale of this puzzle go to The Trevor Project, which makes me extremely happy; love it when I can buy a puzzle and help people at the same time!

The quality is typical for a MicroPuzzles puzzle, and I love being able to subscribe and get new fun images each month. This is one that I bought from their website (puzzle shopping addict? anyone?) and I’m constantly looking for new and interesting images to put together whether the puzzles be large or small.

This image, luckily, was double sided. When I wasn’t sure about whether or not a piece was placed correctly I could just turn it over to verify. Several times I was wrong, because although you might think a rainbow colored puzzle would be simple to assemble – it wasn’t. But therein lies the fun!

I always appreciate a double sided puzzle, especially when the image on the front is a bit challenging, like this one was. Can’t say enough good things about this puzzle.

Love is loved it! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

The Name Of The Game Is Go

The Name Of The Game Is Go – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

Another puzzle my youngest picked out for me to do – I wasn’t in the mood for this one when he showed it to me, but my momma mode kicked in and I agreed to anyway. Once again he was right, it was lots of fun!

Once I got started on it I found it hard to walk away from and this went together in just over a 24 hour period. At one point it was 2 in the morning, and I found myself sitting in the bathroom just because I wanted to work on the puzzle. 🛁🧩

This was the companion puzzle to Postcard From Paris that was posted at the beginning of November; and it was much more entertaining for me with it’s brighter colors and easier collage-type image. So much more enjoyable than I’d thought it would be.

I love it when that happens! 💚

We Wish You The Merriest – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

We* at My Jigsaw Journal wish the very Merriest Christmas to all who celebrate it, and a very Happy Monday to those who don’t. To all those who have to work today, though we may not always act like it we are unbelievably grateful for you. To all those who are feeling alone during this time of the year, you are not. To all those who aren’t here to celebrate with us, you are very much remembered and missed.

I hope you’re all having a wonderful day and I’m wishing you all the merriest and most blessed of holiday seasons. ❄

Nordic Tree – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

How cute and colorful is this image? I love it! All the different patterns at the side, the circle around the tree, and the interesting shapes on the tree itself made for slightly difficult but very entertaining puzzling.

In a larger piece count I would be all over this image, all the colors and shapes are absolutely my pile of pieces! With only 150 pieces and it being a micro puzzle, it was more challenging than expected. Your brain tells you you’re looking for a certain color or shape, but it changes so quickly into the next shape or color that your eye goes right past the correct piece and lands on what you think you should be looking for. Normally I puzzle without looking at the image on the box (or tube), and that made for a longer assembly than would usually be normal for a puzzle of this size.

I do enjoy the challenge of a more difficult puzzle, if everything is too simple it can easily become a boring assembly. There was no chance of that happening with this image though, it kept me on my toes!

Happy Holidays!
