Festively fantastic

I decided that only festive puzzles could be done in December and managed to stick to it - well, almost, but it was a Christmas present and the first line of the story is Christmas themed. A lovely month. 

Another year, another advent puzzle…

I used to get my advent puzzle from the big brands and although they were fine, I much prefer the ones where you build an image day by day. This one was fun and reasonable quality, and only one piece was in the wrong box, and even then it was only one box along. A success. 

November was wet!

But that meant a lovely excuse to stay in and puzzle…and puzzle I did! I was also lucky enough to visit a jigsaw puzzle factory and see puzzles being made, cut and bagged - a real experience! 

A month of two halves…

So I’ve done quite a bit of puzzling this month, but have had the same number of completed vs missing pieces so my final photo showing doesn’t look at impressive. Luckily all puzzles with missing pieces were only missing 1, so still good to sell at the bargain price of 20p. The completed…well, take a look…

Autumn puzzling

As the weather draws in I find the temptation to puzzle increases. Combined with a BDC puzzle meeting and September has proved to be a great month for puzzling output. 

Missing pieces…

Now, I would never buy a puzzle if there was a piece missing. However, I’ve discovered that others are happy to as long as they know which one. I’d been given some puzzles to check which I knew were missing pieces, and so decided to have a missing pieces month. What I found, was that I still enjoyed the puzzle and now know others can too…as, of course, I’ve marked on the box where the missing piece is. 

Just one for July…

…but what a beautiful one, reminding me that summer is out there and happiness to boot!
