That’s What I Do ….
I got this puzzle for Ash a couple of years ago, and Ash did it partly, then it was disassembled, separated into two boxes, and I just found the second box …. Astonishingly, only three pieces are missing (and I have hopes I will find them amongst stuff). This puzzle was hard as hell. The […]
Chestnut & Hemlock, tree snuggle
This was a beautiful birthday gift from Michele …. Ash did it. (-:
Fantasy Orchestra, Delphine Jacquot, Djeco
Loved this 500 piece puzzle! It’s a panoramic landscape, and the pieces are rectangular, rather than squarish, which meant there was a clear orientation. The pieces were also large! So the whole puzzle did not really fit on my board. The pieces were quite thick and a pleasure to handle — the one quality issue […]
Monsters Night Out, SunsOut
This puzzle was haaaard. So many grassy pieces and so many leafy pieces and so haaaaaaaard. And then there was a piece missing! I have looked all over and can’t find it, but I sort of vaguely remember picking up a piece in the sunroom, that I thought belonged to another puzzle … but where […]
Chestnut & Hemlock pocket owl
My partner got me a couple of very sweet handcut puzzles from Chestnut & Hemlock, in Alabama. Ash and I did the “pocket owl”, which was beautiful.
Ravensburger wooden, “Mysterious Owl” wooden owl
Ash and I did a little wooden puzzle from Ravensburger — “Mysterious Owl” — 150 pieces, “Have a hoot of a good time piecing together our 150-piece “Owl” Shaped Wooden puzzle and watch the hours fly by!” – 6.3″ x 8.7″ x 1.8″ I loved that it came in a paper bag. The whimsies were […]
Vintage Nancy Drew, Cobble Hill
A couple of years ago I got two Cobble Hill Nancy Drew book cover puzzles — one was labeled “vintage” and the other, which also had covers from similar eras, was not! The one I did last year around this time included a lot more and many smaller covers, many (not all) from the yellow […]
Quilts of Gee’s Bend, Galison
My neighbor Yael lent me this puzzle that I’d long wanted to do — “The Quilts of Gee’s Bend“, from Galison. So much fun! Forty different quilts on a white background, effectively forty different small puzzles. I loved it! It’s a strip-cut puzzle. The puzzle material itself is quite thin — more sturdy than, say, […]
