Home Again…

We’re traveling back home today, after another extended stay with family. We had a great time full of memories, laughter, and fun (not to mention a few puzzles).

Just as we’re finishing up with the puzzles from our last vacation here on the blog, we’re coming home from another holiday with more. In a month or so you’ll be seeing the posts of all the wonderful wooden puzzles we put together during this visit – it’s safe to say a fun time was had by all!

I’ll be back at my board this evening, and I am very much looking forward to it. 👵🧩💖

Vacation Puzzle In Progress…

Imagine! by Lana Kissinger – Liberty – 284 pieces

Got started on this gorgeous Liberty puzzle yesterday with some assistance from my beautiful niece who spent the day visiting with me. Liberty’s motto is “Sit Long, Talk Much” and that’s exactly what we did. She’s not a puzzle person for the most part, but she seemed to enjoy looking at the interesting shapes and trying to find ones that fit together. She found a few pieces too, so she officially helped me with this assembly!

I hope she had as much fun as I did, it was lovely to spend the day together. We sat long, talked much, did a little puzzling and enjoyed each other’s company. 💖

What’s Next?

We went to town with the puzzles on Saturday! We completed two smaller wooden ones (one was quite challenging), a micro puzzle that was only 40 pieces, and a 500 piece cardboard puzzle. That was everyone at the house working together; me and hubby and my sister and brother-in-law.

I don’t know what will be next, but we’ve still got quite a few to choose from – although I’m feeling very worn out and lazy today – perhaps there won’t be another one completed for a day or so. I may need to get some rest and focus on doing as little as possible.

What’s next for you? Working on something fun?

More Vacation…

We’re back up in Michigan today to attend a funeral and spend a little more time with family. I’ve got a suitcase with plenty of fun wooden puzzles for us to play with – vacation puzzles are where it’s at! 🧩💕

Bluebells In Progress…

Bluebells – Wentworth (Mini Mindful) – 40 pieces

My son has picked out the next puzzle for me to assemble (a 300 piece called Magical Journey), and I’m putting it off just a bit by having a nice, hot cup of coffee this morning and putting together this Mini Mindful puzzle first.

It shouldn’t take me too long, but it’s nice to work with a well made wooden puzzle, and the Mini Mindful puzzles require a bit of extra concentration so you can clear your mind of all the stresses of your day and just focus on the puzzle.

Discerning Dissectologists know that even a small puzzle can help you de-stress, calm your nerves, bring down your blood pressure, stave off memory loss, quiet anxiety, and even help put your brain into a meditative state similar to dreaming. Now why wouldn’t you want a bit of that every single day?

I know I do. 🧩💚
