Main Street by Joseph Holodook – Cra-Z-Art – 500 pieces
Just barely started on this set of shaped mini puzzles, it’s the last set that I have yet to assemble – which is a little depressing. I’ve enjoyed all of the different and amazing sets they have available and it’s a bit sad that there aren’t any more for me to do.
Still, at least this one’s here to enjoy, right?
Tea For Two by Aimee Stewart – Wentworth – 176 pieces
As you can see I haven’t actually started the assembly, but I have taken out the whimsies for this one and I’m very much looking forward to beginning. This is a shaped puzzle from Wentworth, but it is three separate shaped puzzles – the teapot and two cups.
Because tomorrow is Fat Tuesday and the day after that is Valentine’s Day, there are specific puzzles that I wanted to post on those days – so you’re getting an “in progress” puzzle today instead of tomorrow.
Hope you’re all having a great Monday, and that you’re working on a fun puzzle!
The Pinwheel Gator by Alex Beard – Liberty – 512 pieces
This one is going slowly, but it’s nothing to do with the puzzle itself, I just can’t sit for long at the table. Besides, I don’t look at the box image when I’m working on a wooden puzzle; it makes it last longer and I can really be in the moment and enjoy everything a wooden puzzle has to offer.
Normally I don’t work from top to bottom, but that’s just how this one is going. I started with the purple color at the top and am working each color from there down. It’s quite fun!
From what I can see from the pieces I think this is another puzzle from Liberty that has an additional character/image to assemble. Remember The Seven Chakras where each little puzzle had a representation of the chakra that could be assembled as a multipiece whimsy? Well, I’m pretty sure this puzzle has a big gator that can be assembled with some of the pieces.
It doesn’t seem to be one like Birds, whose Alternate Solution used every piece; it looks as though only some of the pieces will be used.
I hope it isn’t too difficult, because I really wanna try to get it done when I’m finished with this puzzle. 🐊
The Pinwheel Gator by Alex Beard – Liberty – 512 pieces
It’s sorted, but hasn’t been started yet; and there are SO MANY whimsy pieces that laying them all out to take a picture is gonna take a very long time! Therefore you just get a little preview today of some of the whimsy pieces in this gorgeous puzzle.
Many of the whimsies seem as though they’re Mardi Gras themed, and since Mardi Gras starts this Friday I thought this was the perfect time to get this puzzle going. I’ve had it here for months and months, and have really been looking forward to it. 😍
Hope you all have fabulous puzzles in the works right now, I know I’ll really be enjoying myself putting this beauty together!
Garden Shed* – Hua Cao Shu Mu – 300 pieces
Can you believe it? The third of the three puzzles in one box from a company that makes crappy puzzles – yep, I went there.
Like I explained a few days ago, these things are stinking up my puzzle room with the stench of low quality puzzles that feature stolen artwork and I want them gone as soon as possible.
I can say with some certainty that this will be finished today. Then perhaps we’ll hold a small funeral ceremony in the backyard with a cremation immediately following the service so as not to inflict these puzzles on anyone else.
*They’ll most likely end up in the recycle bin, but it has put a HUGE smile on my face thinking about lighting these pieces of trash on fire while I dance around the flames making rude gestures. 😈
