“Eeveelutions” 2000 piece by Buffalo

My husband and I are really big Pokemon fans, especially eevee and all it’s evolutions- and when we saw Pokemon puzzles for sale at Walmart, on my husband’s birthday no less, we both scored big! He picked three for me to assemble and glue for him to decorate over his desk, and of course the first I did HAD to be the eeveelutions!

This was a blast to assemble, and looks fantastic when it’s finished! Now if only they didn’t have to shove a Pikachu into every piece of Pokemon merchandise, regardless of what the main theme is…

“Detective Pikachu” 500 piece Buffalo

Another of the puzzle’s hubby picked for his birthday…. And the one I least looked forward to assembling! I tried to impress upon him how ‘not fun’ this one would be, what with all the solid black, without telling him no outright, but he would not be detered! Ah well, it was only 500 pieces, and I only had to sort the last 50 pieces or so by shape and try each one until they fit… @_@;;; It’s nice looking finished off though!

“Still Life with Watermelon” 500 piece Cardinal

A quick finish on my desk puzzling space, just a little dollar store beauty. Glued and hung in the kitchen!

“The Astronomer” 750 piece by Master Pieces

This one is far more lovely in person, because it is holographic and nearly impossible to get a good photo of! I can’t say I’m a fan of the holographic pieces from an assembly point of view, as it adds an extra layer of challenge that I don’t find enjoyable. But it does look pretty cool when it’s finished!

A snap of some of ‘The Astronomer’s pieces, which better shows their vibrant colors!

And last but not least, a Cobble Hill thrift store find! One hundred percent complete, and now going in my collection! I adore Cobble Hill!

‘Fishing Lures’ 500 piece by Cobble Hill

Catching Up!

Hello hello! It’s been a bit since I posted- getting over the flu and trying to catch up on the housework is rough! Everything was, and still is partially at least, a wreck! D: I’ve alos been to the doctor today for an ear infection I picked up while I was sick, so that’s fun. But I’m still puzzling!

I finished this beautiful 500 piece MB Puzzle Croxley image, no name that I can find. 100% complete, which is always lovely from a thriftstore find!

After that I decided to start this Ravensburger…. Mostly because it’s a Ravensburger and is super nice quality. I’ve wanted to get it done so I can trade it away for something I like more!

I just was NOT digging the image though, not at all. Someone had mentioned that they did the same image as a 500 piece, and did not enjoy it all, so that put me even more off it! I decided to pack it back and put it straight into my trade/sell bin! Too many puzzles to do to waste time on ones I won’t enjoy, even if they are fantastic quality!

I decided instead to break out this panoramic 750 piece by MB Puzzle, “Big World”. I’d been looking forward to doing it quite a bit, he image son the box is phenomenal. While I was doing it however, and getting a more close up view of the art, I discovered its the sort of digital art I’m not as fond of, where everything is vaguely plasticky looking. I still love the image, but decided to pack it up and be done with it when it was complete! It also went into to my trade box!

And last but not least, I stopped into a Goodwill in a town nearby, and boy am I glad I did! Came away with all of these vintage lovelies for around ten bucks!

Color me excited! All of them are in excellent condition, and appear to be complete! They’re gonna be a blast to put together, and my are also my mum’s favorite variety of puzzle because they’re the sort she grew up on, so I’ll be loaning them off to her to puzzle out as well! Win-Win! 😀

Thanks for puzzling with me today!
