I have a serious addiction. I’m almost done with my current puzzle, and I have PLENTY more to do here at home; but for some reason I’m itching to go find more. Thrift store or retail store – it doesn’t matter, new puzzles to choose from is what I want.
I can’t be the only irresponsible puzzler who does this, surely I am in good company. My fellow PADS posse members understand, don’t you?
Normally I start with the edges, but that isn’t the best way to go with this image – all the edge pieces look mostly the same. I think it will be best to put them in once all the sections on the edge are mostly assembled.
I got the main character’s face assembled and am now working on her hair, along with filling in each of the small sections. I’m having fun with it!
This is the first Wentworth I’ve had that was missing a piece, though to be fair it is most likely my fault and it’s around here somewhere. There are puzzle boxes everywhere, and there’s even a whole bunch of them sitting in the living room at the moment. It’s entirely possible that a box fell on the floor, or someone was looking at the pieces and they didn’t all find their way back into the box. I’m not worried, it’ll show up eventually.
These micro puzzles are a godsend; grownup images, fantastic wooden pieces, and I am able to start and finish the entire thing in one sitting. Nothing wrong with that at all!
The artwork by Dominic Davison is beautiful, but to be honest I’m not sure it would be as enjoyable as a 1000 piece puzzle – at least not for me. Gorgeous scenic vistas are lovely to look at, but not always as lovely to assemble. Of course it’s just personal preference, and there are most likely a bunch of people who would love this as a larger puzzle.
My fabulous daughter got me this personalized travel cup for Mother’s Day – does she know her momma or what? I love it! The letters inside the pieces are the initials of my kids. (She had to explain that to me, but in my defense I had taken my pain meds and my brain cells weren’t fully present)
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! 💖
