Sunday Randomness #185 : White Board Randomness with Oscar winning movies

We've started a weekly white board question this year at my library branch in the staff backroom.  One of the first queries featured movies that won Academy Awards for one reason or another. 



 

There were some Toy Story movies...

Little Women...

An assortment of Muppet movies...


And Daniel Craig as James Bond movies.

Sunday Randomness #275: Bringing puzzles back into our lives 7 and 8-April into May 2024

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

More puzzles from April.  Jellyfish from the artist, Kate Rhees, a 300 piece from the manufacturer CEACO.  It was surprisingly easy and a lot of fun!  Find more art from Kate Rhees at her website: https://katerhees.com/


 


A Dowdle puzzle, Dog Walkers, 500 pieces. A lot more challenging than we initially thought it would be to complete.


World Map 33 piece puzzle from Melissa and Doug.  I got this one from Savers to just do for quick fulfillment fun and then to pass on to others.  It just took me a long time to eventually pass it on...

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.
