Rice Krispies – Rose Art – 50 pieces

This was a very quick 50 piece puzzle that my son wanted me to do, so I did. 😎

I found this one at Ollie’s (discount store in the US) for a very reasonable price, and I just can’t resist a small puzzle! The pieces of this were quite large though, it was surprising how large the completed puzzle was – 7 x 9 in. (18 x 23 cm). For only 50 pieces! I could assemble two 150 piece MicroPuzzles and lay them on top of this one and still have space left over and lots of image peeking through. Wowza!

Love the reproduction on this one, it’s very crisp. And in the end it made me hungry for/want to make Rice Krispies treats, which I plan on doing this morning before it gets too late in the day for me to function. Mmmmm, love Rice Krispies treats. 😍

BTW, have you ever noticed that Snap, Crackle, and Pop have red, blond, and brown hair respectively? I can honestly say I’ve never paid attention to it before now; I don’t know why or if it matters, but I did notice.

Stained Glass Cat – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

This one I thought would be more difficult than it turned out to be, which was a blessing because I had NOT had enough coffee when I started it. Luckily though I consumed enough of it while working on this gorgeous Halloween image and we got there even more quickly than I’d hoped.

Another great quality MicroPuzzle, I have never been disappointed in their puzzles. There’s something about working with the tiny pieces for me that makes it so engrossing and entertaining that I can barely walk away from them. There is no variety in piece shape, but it’s only 150 pieces so it doesn’t seem as boring as it might with a larger piece count. Other than that the quality is quite good and they’re always fun to assemble.

Be careful out there on Devil’s Night everyone! (I know that it is mostly just a Michigan thing, but that’s where I grew up, so October 30th will always be Devil’s Night to me.😈)

Spooky Treats – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

Hope I’m not the only one who loves Halloween themed puzzles, this one is so darn cute! Those words were quite a challenge for me, but I got there in the end. Great image on a great puzzle. I’m still really enjoying these little puzzles in a test tube, even though working with the tiny pieces is getting a bit more difficult for me. I’ve hopefully still got plenty of time to finish the 35 or so mini puzzles yet to be done – including another Halloween image.

Once the outside candy pieces were finished there were still plenty of pieces that were only words, it isn’t as easy as you might think. Luckily there was still enough coffee left to wake up my brain cells so that I could finish.

Loved this image, and I’m really looking forward to completing the second Halloween themed MicroPuzzle, it looks like even more fun!

Moonstrike – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

My youngest son picked out this puzzle for me to do next, sigh; being the great mom that I am I obliged. I don’t think I would have chosen this on my own just now, but they are here to all be assembled eventually – so here we go!

This little one coffee puzzle has been sitting on my board for two days now while I deal with some things that have kept me in bed. I was able to get up for a bit yesterday and do a little bit of it, but the sitting up didn’t last long so it’s only partially complete. It’s been several coffees now, and it still isn’t done.

I’m hoping today to spend a little more time at the board and working on the blog. The fruits and veggies puzzle is complete but still sitting on the board until the post gets written up, which I also haven’t done. I’ll get there, eventually.

Beats for Bubba* – Re-marks – 100 pieces

Come on! Look at that adorable face! How could you not want to put together this mini puzzle to see that sweet face looking up at you? I obviously couldn’t pass it by. Puppy pictures please the puzzle princess. 👑

I’m not really a princess, but the alliteration made me smile.

The quality was just good on this puzzle. The fit was a bit loose, the backing was that sharp, white stuff I don’t care for, and the finish was shiny and had me turning my head and holding the pieces at angles before I just gave in and turned off the lights altogether. Other than those things the puzzle was ok. The pieces were a good size, there were a good variety of shapes, and the image reproduction for very good. Three pros and three cons, you decide which ones are important to you.

It was one of the easier small puzzles I’ve done in a while. The colors around the edges made for easy assembly, then there were only a small number of pieces that were just fur and face to contend with. Overall it was a fun build though, and it’s such a cute puzzle I can’t say too much bad about it.

Sweet face, cute image, fun puzzle!
