r/Jigsawpuzzles

A new to me brand. Kind of pricey ($39 on Puzzledly), but the art work was so pretty I couldn’t resist.

Turns out I’ve been following the artist on Instagram for years :)

Anyway. Great quality, and a beautiful puzzle.

I was gifted this puzzle by my girlfriend's sister and absolutely hated it. I'm glad it was only 500 pieces as I might never have finished it. I've tackled "Impossible" puzzles before, like this Toy Story one or this one from dbrand but this Percy Pig puzzle was particularly challenging and took nearly a month to complete. I found no strategy for solving other than tedious trial and error of every piece in every location. Some people may enjoy this sort of challenge but I've learnt it's definitely not for me. Never again.

So cute and so much fun! I did not show the surprise ending

My lil' helper that doesn't necessarily make it easier. I don't have the heart to push her away because this is a daily thing with her. I gotta figure something out though.

I picked this up at Goodwill and have been working on it for a month at least. It was so challenging for me! I would sit down with it and tell myself “just see if you can do ten pieces.” I’m so proud of myself for not giving up that I think I’ll hang it on the wall. (And no missing pieces, although a few had delaminated and I had to glue them back together)

I'm usually a fast puzzler, but all the gold reflected strangely in my bonus room's lighting. Plus I had to turn my puzzle board sideways since it was taller rather than wide. It's a gorgeous Fall puzzle, but I'm glad I'm done!

I said no more Hobbry Puzzles. And I meant it until this one, and then I saw the tuxedo cat under the pink towel/blanket. It reminded me of a pic I took of my tuxedo girl who loves hiding under blankets. P.S. Third pic is not a Hobbry cat.

Claw and Disorder, Hobbry Puzzles, 1,000 pieces

Absolutely LOVED this one. Couldn’t help smiling the whole time because of how cute the cats were and finding ones I missed when looking at the insert. I told my partner that I’m NEVER getting rid of this puzzle. The sleeping guard cat and the little mouse in his home 😭

Found at TJ Maxx today

The weather is getting cooler and so, for me at least, it's puzzle season again. I put this one together this morning. I love the image and it was fun to build but I was disappointed to find 3 pieces missing - and I bought it brand new from HomeSense 😔

In case anyone wants a tip, I use cardstock (this is just an example using a post-it) to outline the shape of a missing puzzle piece with pencil. I cut it out and usually color it in or I put on a layer of washi tape and cut it out again. (Holding the piece up to the light helps show you where the cardstock puzzle piece is vs where the negative space is).

Whether it visually fits in well or not, it helps me think of the puzzle as mine too :) a secondhand puzzle someone loved enough to donate, and then I loved it enough to add my own creation to it

The first puzzle pictured here is the mythical world puzzle by Laurence King, 1000 pc. The second is the van Gogh sunflower puzzle with gold foil by Hinkler Play, 500 pc

Sadly didn’t enjoy putting this together as much as I like the image! I think I prefer crisper lines with artwork. I was also hoping for more interesting shapes with the random cut. Are these shapes pretty common for the brand?

I’d encourage anyone to do a puzzle they love the picture of, but this one would best be kept at a smaller piece could. The pieces themselves were a little flimsy but in good condition, but some details were just SO BLURRY.

This one was a blast to work, fairly quick but not super easy. We worked in sections and ended up doing the middle last, which was kind of a surprise.

First time trying out this brand, I was reluctant, but it was actually pretty fun to make !
