Puzzle Time 01/08/19

Well here is my first puzzle finish of the year!

The Roller Disco
Piece Count - 1,000
Size 27 x 19
New Puzzle
First Piece 01/01/19
Last Piece 01/05/19

I see now that I cut off the top couple of rows of the puzzle when I took the picture but the puzzle is already back in it's box so I can't get another picture; sorry!

I love this artist's designs! They are soooo fun and he puts lots of hidden objects in the puzzle for you to find in addition to so much going on in the scene!  Some of the things he has hidden are a sharks fin, a saw, Saint Nicholas, dentures, miscellaneous hands and eyes all over the place. I don't always find everything but I try!

Last year I completed 32 puzzles with a total of 32,276 pieces!  I wonder if I can do more his year?

Thanks for stopping by,
see ya next time I'm puzzled!

It's a Puzzling Day 04/19/18


The Dogshow
Piece Count - 1,500
Size 35 x 23
Used Puzzle
First Piece 04/06/18
Last Piece 04/19/18

These are fun puzzles to put together! The artist hides different things in the puzzle when he draws his pictures. There is a caricature of himself, a sharks fin, a saw, Saint Nicholas, dentures, miscellaneous hands and eyes all over the place. Finding them is almost as much fun as putting the puzzle together.

and see ya soon!

Castle Conflict

I love these cartoon puzzles by Jan van Haasteren. They are fun to put together and as an added bonus he puts hidden things in the puzzles for you to find. His trademark of a the shark’s fin is featured in every puzzle. He also includes a few of his favorite images – Saint Nicholas, The Hands, The Dentures and Jan’s self-portrait which you will find in nearly all of his illustrations. Finding them can prove a little difficult sometimes but it is fun!

This is my newest puzzle finish...

Castle Conflict
First Piece - 07/25/17
Last Piece - 08/06/17
Piece Count - 1,000

A new puzzle is already on the extra large bulletin board which is what I put my puzzles together on. It easily fits on the table and can be easily spun around to work on the other side of the puzzle or moved if I need to move it.

see ya next time!

It's a Grand Café!

Another puzzle finish ;)

This one was a bit of a challenge and I really enjoyed it!  Lots of straight sided pieces within the puzzle itself and then the top is "shaped" both of which helped make it a challenge. I like the harder puzzles.
