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!

Jigging in different places

June was a great month to puzzle. I was lucky enough to be invited on holiday with some puzzling friends and after a day of sightseeing we spent our evenings puzzling. I finished the month hosting my own puzzle meeting in Bourton on the Water. The theme was ‘Bold, bright and colourful’ and the puzzles presented did not disappoint.

A rather successful May

This month found me with time to luxuriate in lots of puzzling time. Although I started the month with 500s I soon moved back towards my happy place with some excellent 1000s. Lots of nice pictures and lots of nice complete puzzles ready to be sold!

All about the 500s (and one cheeky 1000)

I’m a bit swamped with puzzles to check at the moment, with at least 40 in the garage waiting. To try and whizz through I spent the month going through 500s. These only take me about an hour so I can manage 2-3 at a time, the same amount of time to relax on a 1000. All were pleasing, although there were a couple more not photographed due to missing pieces.
