80s Shows – MasterPieces – 1000 pieces
Sorry about the glare at the bottom, I didn’t stand the board up to take the picture. I worked for a while on this puzzle yesterday and made some good progress – it’s taking shape!
Lots of nostalgia here for me, and you’ll be hearing all about it when it’s finished.
Why do they call it “retail therapy”? Every time I give it a try it doesn’t do a damn thing. I’m always happy to find interesting, beautiful, or unique puzzles; but honestly it really isn’t any kind of therapy.
I don’t have remorse, or spend more than we can afford – and my shopping most definitely isn’t out of control (I really do despise shopping in general). It may boost your mood temporarily, but for me it isn’t nearly as long-lasting as I would like.
On the positive side, I did find myself about ten new puzzles; and I’m almost certain I will enjoy putting each and every one together. 💗
The Quiltmaker Lady by Charles Wysocki – Buffalo – 1000 pieces
For me, this is what’s happening on my board. It’s been nearly two years since I’ve assembled a Charles Wysocki image – June of 2020 was the last time I worked on one! It’s going well, and I’m enjoying myself; you know I can’t resist an image with quilts. 🧵💜
So what is everyone else working on? Any awesome puzzles you’d like to share? I’m always in the mood to see beautiful, interesting, or just entertaining looking puzzles. Got a link to the puzzle image I can check out?
I’m feeling the need for some retail therapy and I’m looking for some suggestions. (Don’t worry about enabling my PADS, I’ll be buying puzzles with or without your help – just looking for some potentially great puzzles I might have missed!)
Shopping for puzzles doesn’t solve any real world problems for me, but it takes my mind off things for a while – and if I’ve done it right in the end there are new puzzles on the way to my house! 🧩🏡
So after finishing the Hansel and Gretel puzzle yesterday I took pictures and chose my next puzzle. It will be one of three puzzles I’ve got going on at the moment…
Dad has been going through some of mom’s things, with a little help from me when I’m able. And yesterday he came across two small puzzles that I’d never seen before and he brought them over to my house. They’re extremely different, interesting, and a great idea (in my humble puzzler’s opinion).
I don’t want to go into detail about them just yet, but I’m planning on writing up a nice, long post once I finish one of them. I’m quite excited to give them a try, and am hopeful that they will be as entertaining and engaging as they look.
I’ll only be working on the new ones in certain circumstances. But for the first one, at least, it should be done relatively quickly; most likely within a week or so. It’ll be a while before the post comes up in the queue, but you’ll definitely be reading about it eventually.
Trying out new puzzles is always a little thrilling for me, it’s about the only adventure that I get these days!
Vintage Atlas – Re-marks – 1000 pieces
I was hoping to get this one finished yesterday, but life just wouldn’t cooperate at all. Hopefully though, since there are only three trays of pieces left it should be done sometime today.
This particular Re-marks puzzle is the best of the brand that I’ve worked with in a while. The fit is very good, the reproduction is excellent, and in general I’m loving working with it. Isn’t it nice when you can say that about the puzzle that you’re working on?
