Easel-y Distracted

Easel-y Distracted – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

I love how colorful this image was, and although I thought it would be very challenging it went together much more easel-y than expected. 😁

All of these bathroom puzzles are either getting easier, or I’m getting better at them. They’re going together much more quickly than they used to, or at least that’s how it seems. Still, I’m enjoying them very much and that’s what really counts.

The MicroPuzzles subscription that I receive every month is keeping me stocked with these little postcard sized puzzles that make me extremely happy. Whatever the cost, I’m totally worth it!

You Are Here

You Are Here – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

This gorgeous, colorful and serene-looking image was in July’s subscription box, and my daughter picked it out for us to assemble together. It was quite difficult; the painterly style and less than optimal lighting in the bathroom made for a challenging assembly. There were quite a few times when I put pieces wrong, but luckily they did not quite fit correctly and I could see my errors.

The image isn’t one I would normally choose to puzzle, but it was more engrossing than I anticipated, and the sense of accomplishment I felt once it was complete was rather nice.

I’m very much looking forward to our next subscription box – what could be in store for us this month?

Robot Repair In Progress…

Robot Repair – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

This is my bathroom puzzle in progress right now because I don’t have my next bigger puzzle on the board yet. My son and I picked out the next puzzle and the sorting started yesterday, but I wasn’t feeling well and ended up spending most of the day in bed so this is my only puzzle currently in the works.

Despite the bright colors around the edges, the rest of the image seems so similar on the pieces that it’s difficult to put in even a piece or two under the less than adequate lighting in there. It definitely shows that I need to ask hubby if we can do something about that; otherwise there will always be images that need to be finished under the better lights in the puzzle room.

After taking the picture I immediately found a couple pieces and put them in place, so perhaps this puzzle will stay in here to complete the assembly. Lighting really does matter!

Tube-tastic

Tube-tastic – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

This little thing was MUCH more difficult than anticipated, I was constantly putting pieces in the wrong places! I thought the image would be fun (it was) and wouldn’t take too long (it did); but no matter, the challenge got me motivated to finish it and it was enjoyable the whole way through.

Normally I don’t have to use the image on the tube these puzzles come in – but for all the little scribbles on the paper it definitely helped to have a reference.

The fit was a little looser than usual, but otherwise it was the same great quality MicroPuzzle that I’m used to. Loved it!

Tiki Mask Montage

Tiki Mask Montage – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

My daughter picked out this puzzle, and she did a fantastic job. This was so much more entertaining than anticipated, and more than once I found myself sitting in the bathroom just so I could add a few more pieces to the puzzle.

The bright colors, the different masks – it was all thoroughly enjoyable from the first edge pieces to the final piece in the middle. Why on Earth did I wait so long to get this one done?

I sure hope you all are enjoying reading about these puzzles, because they are still loads of fun for me to assemble and I don’t see myself stopping my subscription anytime soon. Every month I receive two more puzzles – they aren’t always images that I might pick out myself, but usually they’re fun to assemble and I’m always proud of myself whenever we get one done.

This particular puzzle did make me a little bit sad though, once it was finished. There were no more pieces left to add and I was sorry it was over. 😢
