Jigsaws

I finished this one yesterday evening while waiting for trick or treaters. It was a challenge because of the small characters and busy scene plus the fact that I knew I had at least a couple missing pieces early on.

Wow, what a lot of detail! Nice.

I scored a couple of nice used puzzles at a thrift shop this past weekend, hoping to have time to start one of them this weekend!

This is an Amy Stewart puzzle. She had done a number of these “bookshelf” type puzzles and they are always fun. This was a thrift store $1.99 puzzle and well worth it.

I've had this one in the cupboard for a while.. I'd avoided it as it looked difficult, and it was.
There's a piece missing too.. I think it might have been visited by 'gremlins' in the night and may turn up.. must remember to cover it!

Wow mani , that does look hard. Is it more than 1000 pieces?

No.. it's just 1000.

This was really enjoyable.. an Agatha Christie jigsaw. The picture hints at many of her stories. Great fun.

Oh.... sounds like fun! Is Roger Ackroyd, or And Then There Were None featured?

That was a bit difficult to show in a picture.
There were 5 little pigs. .. and a fair few more.

True. But those are the only 2 books of hers I've read.

Well, I've been helping with this puzzle a lot lately.

I miss doing large puzzles.

Finished this White Mountain puzzle this morning. I rarely buy puzzles new, but this is one I saw and had to buy. Very enjoyable but a lot of brown and dark sections.

Lovely picture susanm9006 but as you say, there are some similar colour bits that make it difficult.

I just finished this Op Shop find.. I don't like doing too many of the cartoony ones, but every now and again, they're fun.

AbbysMom , I love most White Mountain puzzles, and I especially like their larger size.

We really like the White Mountain ones too! I've bought some new but have also been finding some at thrift stores. Here's what we have been up to:

These Halloween ones are both White Mountain:

This one was awful to do!

This one is a White Mountain:

A nice group AbbysMom ! I especially like that first Halloween. It’s fun hunting for used puzzles, isn’t it!

 

[mani]

you've been busy AbbysMom !
They're great.. except for that seascape one.. it looks like a bit of a jigsaw nightmare. You get a gold star for finishing that one.

So I took a chance and bought a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle from Amazon that was discounted for Black Friday. Fun image but a risk because I have never heard of the manufacturer, Huadada, and origination was China. Happy to say the puzzle arrived today, image is nice and bright and puzzle pieces seem sized similar to Buffalo Games.

We "finished "Tapestry Cat" by White Mountain. It was a hard one.

I have seen that one in shops and have admired it but I did seem like it would be hard. And I have this wierd thing about hating to do flowers. No clue why
