Spilsbury - The Village Store - 500 pieces

Here is another Spilsbury winter image.  We don't yet have snow on the ground here, but this puzzle felt cheery and so I did it anyway.  Even with the snow on the ground in the puzzle, it was quite fun.  :)    Of course, I just had to work on that red truck first.  Colorful and fun - lots of interest in this one.  Another one-sitting puzzle - kind of fits my mood right now.

Spilsbury - Victorian Skaters - 500 pieces

Image by Dan Craig

This was one of the first puzzles I bought way back when I started puzzling.  Then I got a bit more experience and realized this might not be a fun puzzle - so much of the same type of colors and sky.  But when I had first seen the image I was charmed.  :)  I re-sorted all my puzzles the other day and have only holiday/winter puzzles out now and this one fit that category well.  I chose to do this one since I am not quite at the point of wanting Santa/Christmas puzzles... and this was a nice puzzle.  Yes, it was a bit challenging, but at only 500 pieces, it was fun, not frustrating.  Did it in one sitting while listening to an audiobook.... my current favorite thing.  :)

This was a great puzzle.  Fun image and just the right challenge. Bright and colorful, lots of interesting patterns in the image.  And you have to love the women and books!  Took me a long time after I initially started this puzzle to get back to it, but once I came back it went fairly quickly.  Good puzzling experience.

Gibsons - Rag and Bone The Old Mill - 500 pieces

This was my 2nd puzzle completed from this multi-set of 4.  Very nice.  I am thinking, though, that I will have trouble putting together the one that doesn't have a poster to go with it.  These are trickier than most 500 piece puzzles.  At least without a poster.  :)  Pleasant British rural scene - something I like very much in puzzles.  Good quality overall and the pieces fit together well. Enjoyable time.

White Mountain - Home Sweet Home - 1000 pieces

Image by Steve Crisp

This was a puzzle that I just felt I wanted to do during the time frame of Marvin's big eye surgery.  I thought Home Sweet Home was the message and image I needed to be able to return to.  It was, indeed, a good one.  An enjoyable image, a good quality puzzle, a fun puzzling experience.  You can see how it all came together - nicely - just worked on sections at a time, mostly.  Love the dogs and the grandma in the kitchen.  A sweet, sweet image. 

The wine was a German white - Selbach Oster Mosel dry Pinot Blanc... decent but not my favorite ever.  Cocoa paired with this puzzle better, I would say.  :)
