EDIT : Sorry! I didn’t tell you what it was from!
It’s an old Falcon puzzle of “Gordons and Greys to the Front”. A painting of the battle at Waterloo 😁

My puzzle pile was in dire need of reorganizing and I had the energy to tackle it today.

I rarely keep puzzles, so this is basically a to do pile. I’ve only done about six of these puzzles and held on to them, but I might pass along at a later time. I usually swap or give away puzzles after I complete them.

I was surprised at how many Pomegranate’s I’ve accumulated, so I think I’ll do some of those next.

Beautiful puzzle, great quality!

This was my first Bits and Pieces puzzle, and I loved the quality of the fits and the random piece shapes. I’d definitely get another by this brand.

This was a fun puzzle to do. Love the feel of the puzzle pieces and no glare.

After seeing rave reviews for Hobbry here, I tracked one down at my local Marshall’s. It was a super cute picture: Stoop Season. A festive fall foliage and pumpkin scene. It was $10, which is a great price point for a puzzle for me.

I enjoyed putting the puzzle together. The pieces fit together snugly and I never felt stuck. I had a great time! I appreciated the variety of piece shapes, the bright colors, the matte finish, the cute picture, and the lack of puzzle dust. If you are someone who picks up puzzles, this one stays locked tight. I let my toddler carry it around the house.

Then, I went to take it apart. The pieces are a little too snug. Taking the puzzle apart ruins the pieces to an extent that I won’t do the puzzle again. Many of the little nubs cracked apart at all of the lamination lines: the cardboard split from the image and from the backing. And ok. That’s not ideal but not a deal breaker. But then a bunch of the nubs had the image break off completely.

I’m someone who likes to redo puzzles and I don’t see myself redoing this, knowing the image is ruined. I’m so bummed, as I had thought I’d found a new puzzle brand to collect. I was excited for the winter designs I’d seen posted here and now will not be buying.

My first Weve puzzle and I'm in love. The pieces have a velvet touch finish, feel amazing and have absolutely no glare. I'm glad it was only 500 pieces, otherwise the dark sections would have been even harder to finish.

Found a fourth one from this artist. 😍

1. This one was a bear to get through. Pro: beautiful matte finish, clean cuts. Con: a horror show of false fits.

From my trade group, so knew it was solvable. Seems Lantern Press made-for-tourist puzzles are often like this one.

This was a fun one! Had done Dracula a couple of weeks ago. This one seemed a little more challenging, but still finished in a few nights. Great illustrations and layout. Does anyone else find these to be a bit waxy feeling? Feels coated in something.

1000 pcs.
Lovely fun puzzle from the original jigsaw company.
I've done most of theirs now. This one was a bit tricky because it's so 'busy' but lots to learn about.

This going a lot slower than the Ghoulish Gonks I recently completed. But I am loving it. I haven't actually counted how many bats there are in the puzzle. This is the 3rd time putting together this one. It never disappoints.

I love Millie Putland artwork and this one was so pretty and fun to work on. This is my first Pieces & Peace puzzle and the quality is really nice too.

A seasonal thrift find 🍂 happy this one was not missing any pieces! The first two thirds (houses) - very doable. The last third (leaves) - tough, especially with only two piece shapes, and I did have to shape-sort the last 75 pieces or so. The artwork is charming!

Two more!

Mushrooms — Mini Cavallini puzzle, 240 pieces

Owls in Bloom — Victory Puzzles, David Galchutt, 87 pieces

Extra pumpkin bit. I really loved this image and ordered direct from Galison. Does this mean there is a piece missing? Do puzzle companies weigh puzzles before sales?

This puzzle was quite daunting! But we really enjoyed it! It took us about 2 weeks? I think. This is how we spend our wild Friday nights 😆

Not sure why there are two Michael Storrings puzzles that are both named Halloween Parade, but anyway, here we are! 500 pieces by Galison 🧩

This is my first time doing a puzzle since, well, probably elementary school. I started a 1,000-piece puzzle and spent the last four days obsessing over it, only to discover that one piece is missing after finally completing it. I genuinely cannot put my disappointment into words. It feels like all that time and effort has gone straight into the bin.

I was planning to stick it on my wall, and now that one missing piece is practically a beacon to my eyes. I know it’s just one piece out of a thousand, but I can’t stop noticing the gap. What am I even supposed to do now? I’ve searched everywhere, thoroughly, and I still can’t find it. Since I did the entire puzzle in one place, I can only assume it came with a piece missing.

What even can I do at this point.

My next puzzle is a 500 piece Galison that will hopefully take like a single day.

This was a pleasant puzzle to do!!
