Sunday Randomness #275: Bringing puzzles back: December 2024 with 44, 45, and 46 Baking, Bunnies, Laundry

Bits and Pieces 300 piece Baking Cookies-makes me want to start the holiday baking right now!

Gibson 550 piece Holiday Village with bunnies.  Fun but the snow looked very similar and was a little hard to put together.

Ceaco 550 piece Paws Gone Wild with dogs doing laundry.  I just had concerns about the dogs being around all the laundry cleaners and chemicals.  And I just can't approve of the dog in the washer and doubt the dogs wouldn't be freaked out by the vacuum cleaner.  Just have to remember to suspend my beliefs in reality when working puzzles.  

 

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.

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.

300 piece Buffalo Puzzle Vivid collection "Rainbow City" was a fun little puzzle-smaller pieces but it came together quickly since the mirror images were very different.  

Back to another 1000 piece!  Cobble Hill made this scrumptious Breakfast Sweets puzzle.  Who would have known that pancakes in different forms would look so alike?!?!

100 piece Puppies floor puzzle done near the end of April
 

1000 Piece Dog Breeds from Vintage Puzzle done near the beginning of May.  This is the first 1000 piece puzzle.  I was very intimidated but Mego dove right into assembly.  It wasn't too hard because of all the different breeds of dogs but the oranges started to blend and were the last dogs that we put together if they had any kind of orange fur.

Sunday Randomness #275: Bringing puzzles back into our lives 4, 5, 6

Sunday Randomness #275: Bringing puzzles back into our lives 1, 2, 3

 Recently we started doing puzzles.  We have assembled some in the past but it's been many years.  Starting at the end of March, we did a 275 piece from Cobble Hill with birds and flowers.

Moving into April are puzzles two and three.  Second puzzle is a 350 Springbok with shells.

And now the one after that, the third puzzle, is a Glow in the Dark Dragon puzzle with only 100 pieces.  I don't have the company that manufactured this one.
