Puzzle Adventures - April 2021

 In between crocheting, and now knitting, for a new grandbaby, making greeting cards and spring cleaning...I've been doing a few puzzles this month.

I started with this very fun one that I traded some time last year and had not yet done. I really enjoyed it. It was not difficult but very interesting.

I did it for the 'Food' Monthly Theme Challenge. The title is 'Donuts' and the brand Jack Pine, with a 1000 piece count.

For the Alphabet Challenge I entered this one for 'E is for Elephant'

What a fun puzzle. I got this from a fellow puzzler here locally. It is called a 'sand' puzzle as all the sand coloured areas on the puzzle have a sanded finish. Small grains are embedded in the ink so that there is the added tactile experience when you assemble it. I liked it and loved the bright colours. It certainly has an African vibe.

'Elephants' by Clementoni at 500 piece count.

'Dolphins Dawn' by MB, also a 500 piece count puzzle.

This one has been on the pile for a few months, waiting for warmer weather.

It was quick to do, and the colours are nicely saturated.

Next one for the Alphabet Challenge was J - is for Jars for which I did this panorama puzzle 'Sweet Shoppe' by Bits & Pieces. It was okay to build, but not my favourite so I traded it as soon as it came off the board...

I'd been waiting for spring to do this 'Spring Birdhouse' beauty by Cobble Hill. Ahhh the quality...so nice! And since it was a new puzzle, that delicious smell. Cobble Hill puzzles have a unique smell that I really like.

And finally for April, this kitten one. Kitchen Capers ...or something to that effect, by Buffalo. It was fun to do, but the quality is not so good. Not the best if you start building with glue in hand to stick delaminating layers back in place. The price reflects that though, so I guess in the end it evens out, but straight after a Cobble Hill it felt pretty awful.

I'm behind posting, so I guess I'd better get on with the post for May! Yikes!
