Tartans of Scotland
“Oh, Scottish tartans! That’s great — I can learn famous tartans while I puzzle.” Educational puzzling! In retrospect, I am left with the question — Why did I even want to learn famous tartans? (I mean, I know: An over-abundance of fiction glorifying the Highlands and what-not ….) This 1000-piece Cobble Hill puzzle was truly […]
Peggy Collins “Worship of Trees”
For a 500-piece puzzle (Goodway Puzzles), this was surprisingly difficult — the stained gloss blockings have many similar colors, and all the black outlines combined with similar colors made color-matching challenging! Satisfyingly challenging.
Rex Ray “Mylopronesta”
Rex Ray, “Mylopronesta” – 1000 pieces, Pomegranate Finished March 9, 2023. Gorgeous, and a real pleasure to look at closely while assembling it. Fairly easy, with the distinct colors — similar colors and shapes had to be sorted out, but there were so many unique colors and shape combinations that it wasn’t hard. The chains […]

My friend Nancy graciously allowed me to join her in the completion of the fun Vintage Bicycles puzzle!2023/03/05

Sandra Boynton Cows
Xmas gift for Ash 2022, for the cow-theme! (There are not as many cow-themed puzzles as one might imagine.) 1000-piece puzzle from Workman Puzzles, Sandra Boynton’s art. Ash did it fairly quickly …
Spongebob 3000
Ash finally finished the 3,000 piece Spongebob puzzle …. and then did it again several times!
She-Ra puzzle
500 pieces but more challenging than one might expect, with lots of pieces in the same tone. Plastic-y pieces gave a satisfying “click”; first puzzle of this material.
Bookshelf in a Box
Fun, figuring out the little clusters of stacks of similarly colored paperbacks in series … 1000-piece cardboard puzzle.
Ciruelo Cabral, White Dragon
It actually took me a while to figure out who the artist was for this — he signed the painting, but is not really credited anywhere that I could see on the Ravensburger site. 1000 pieces. Pretty difficult, actually, with the large blocks of similar colors. Ciruelo Cabral, Argentine fantasy artist. And, this white dragon […]
On the Shelf
An enjoyable 1000-piece puzzle, but I would advise NOT doing it on a tablecloth with so many of the same colors. SunsOut, “On the Shelf”, artist Chrissie Snelling.
Lesley Anne Ivory, “Agneatha and the Persian Cats”
1000-ish cardboard cat puzzle. I think we picked this one up at the Amherst Transfer Station! And it had all its pieces, so hooray for thoughtful puzzle-sharers. We did it some time prior to 2020. Lesley Anne Ivory, “Agneatha and the Persian Cats”, 1000 pieces, Great American Puzzle Factory
Spiderwick Chronicles Secret Study
A quick 300-piece puzzle that I did with Ash when they were young. This is the image — or close to it! — but we had a 300-piece version.
Painted Ladies
Victorian, lots of greys …. This one was tough … Ash picked it up for us at the Amherst Transfer Station.
Wine Gallery
A gift from my kiddo, for xmas 2016. A thousand pieces of careful puzzling fun.
