Sunday Randomness #275: Bringing puzzles back: November 2024 featured a dog, some cats, a coral reef, and some difficult donuts 40, 41, 42, and 43

Galison 500 piece featuring Momo the Dog-this one was from a puzzle night and was so fun to put together.

Ceaco 550 piece Paw Gone Wild with a bunch of cats.  Crazy cat lady is something to be proud of if you are a responsible crazy cat lady.

Milton Bradly 500 piece Coral Reef puzzle which was a bit harder because the edges of the puzzle didn't match the box.

Colorcraft 1000 piece Difficult Donuts.  Enough similar colors to make it "difficult" but enough difference to make it doable.

Sunday Randomness #275: Bringing puzzles back: October 2024 with hologram image cats and a Christmas cat 35 and 36

500 piece Giordano Prime 3D puzzle of cats (it has holographic paper so the image shifts in different light or when it's tilted).  

This second picture shows some of the sheen on the pieces.

And I got the lighting to show how some cats had a second pair of eyes depending on how the image viewing.  This view is from a different orientation to get the shot.  It's on the right side of the puzzle roughly in the middle.  The long dark tail is from the cat on the bottom next to the white baseboard.

Then there was a traditional Christmas puzzle from White Mountain of 1000 pieces that was titled Cozy Christmas Cat.

Sunday Randomness #275: Bringing puzzles back into our lives September 2024 has eccentricity with puzzles 29, 30, and 31

 

Glow in the dark!

Masterpieces puzzle Moon Fairy 300 piece (missing that one piece in the center-it's much harder to find the missing piece with the glow-in-the-dark picture)

Wave Hopper puzzle that came in a cool metal van container.  No idea who made it or how many pieces.  We thought maybe around 600-700 hundred?  And yes, we checked all over the poster and the metal van for clues but it only had that thrift store price sticker.

Pendelton Mills has this 1000 piece puzzle of Patchwork rugs/quilts/wall hangings.  Mego made this one a lot easier for me to understand by presenting it as 20 small puzzles.  We each picked different designs, completing about 2/3rds of the puzzle, and then worked on the remaining images together.
