Puzzling February 2021

Another fun filled month of puzzles has come to an end! 

This month the first one up is filled with quilts which I swear I would love to learn how to do. If I wasn't such a chicken at cutting and lining everything up perfectly I would just go ahead and take the plunge.

The next one up is from the Artist Frank Lloyd Wright. His artwork and housing designs have always fascinated me with his unique take on modernism. In my opinion he was a man ahead of his time and his work is timeless.

Puzzling October 2020

 It is time for more PUZZLES! 

Paint Party

Lego

Chronicle Books
#ChronicleBooks

I couldn't wait to start this puzzle because I thought it looked so fun! Then I opened the box... 😕
This is a new to me manufacturer and when I started sorting thru the pieces I found that many of them are damaged; either splitting or bent! It made me so upset at the amount (this is just a small section of them) so I emailed the company and their response was ‘so what do you want, another puzzle?’ Not to happy with that response as it seemed like I was bothering them over some nonsense. I told them ‘No I am not looking for another puzzle and not to worry as I will never look for another puzzle from you guys.’ 

I was putting this together as part of a Puzzle-A-Long so I asked the others how their pieces were and everyone who had this manufacturer had the same stinking problem.  So beware people! If you buy a puzzle from Chronicle Books you may be very disappointed with the quality of the pieces you receive!

I did put it together anyway and I still love the image!
It was fun despite the quality.

I have a couple of puzzles that I finished recently that I wanted to share with you.

Black and White: Animals

Artist - Shelley Davies

Cobble Hill Puzzle Company

Piece Count - 1,000

Size 27 x 19

New Puzzle

First Piece 07/02/19

Last Piece 07/14/19

Let me tell you, that black and white puzzle was a serious beast but I was thrilled with it. I love Shelly Davies' images and hope to do more!

SunsOut, Inc.

Piece Count - 1,000

Size 23 x 28

First Piece 07/17/19

Last Piece 07/31/19

But if I thought the black and white one was a beast this one was about ten times worse! Plus when you do a Sunsout puzzle the pieces are all cut in crazy shapes which usually makes it more fun but not this time! They say all her puzzles are tough so I am not in a hurry to do another!

Thanks for stopping by,

see ya next time I'm puzzled!
