YIKES!</p><p>Let's hope I can recall which I did in September...sigh...</p><p>Continuing the alphabet series with 'Puzzling Together' on Facebook -</p><p>V is for Vehicle - I have this old puzzle that was given to me when I was much to small for it, back in the 60's, it took many years and many tries before I could do it by myself. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIH6uK1GW248Z8Vw5TMkXisiaHbn5bow7iV9ml7um04tbH4eOhm2QQiVS4plEDhCd2cy-L37H_aDyHjy7vPxLMKpcr10pm5Nu8B2xKhquzYL6WESRphahj3753RyQdXHeptE5cuivCHaHm/s4000/20200905_082027.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIH6uK1GW248Z8Vw5TMkXisiaHbn5bow7iV9ml7um04tbH4eOhm2QQiVS4plEDhCd2cy-L37H_aDyHjy7vPxLMKpcr10pm5Nu8B2xKhquzYL6WESRphahj3753RyQdXHeptE5cuivCHaHm/w614-h480/20200905_082027.jpg" width="614" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjON5TJvSpZgaCsy8E_QCJU_Jv4QxWl8sLFANjY-LZt7ePRJltG7ohruGtemVJdn2apTCqAFd4mz4MdskhfcBzulquJo8M35sLIKBQ9AF1mSz8l9KiRcAhkUOSBAZB9FHRzDauiH1iYvASz/s4000/20200905_082118.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjON5TJvSpZgaCsy8E_QCJU_Jv4QxWl8sLFANjY-LZt7ePRJltG7ohruGtemVJdn2apTCqAFd4mz4MdskhfcBzulquJo8M35sLIKBQ9AF1mSz8l9KiRcAhkUOSBAZB9FHRzDauiH1iYvASz/w640-h480/20200905_082118.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvJPyu3vIfLwCxWaCFp3hd6tIKvAe8XgECoBhv2bSKon3MpQq7ef9fNxRGoqbwCU0rU-JIiXERinxym8etTriaijjMZ8r3N4ABXYOh4qmj45syVsloIwrRzwUMvtlPAsl3co5V2KfQvXl/s4000/20200905_082036.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvJPyu3vIfLwCxWaCFp3hd6tIKvAe8XgECoBhv2bSKon3MpQq7ef9fNxRGoqbwCU0rU-JIiXERinxym8etTriaijjMZ8r3N4ABXYOh4qmj45syVsloIwrRzwUMvtlPAsl3co5V2KfQvXl/w640-h480/20200905_082036.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">It is getting rather fragile now and will probably not take too many more builds.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOmSB03QhyphenhyphenMJUe13lSIkTnoXukCH71rdqY5-GHTLD1TKTnaN6vvLcVfe_gmbYckLL8cqBTqaOlrPE3NfQqYuHNNCaw3c6PCmZgchMNPG6unAorOlCrpU_ejsaO0V0PTxoa3VeJch_7uD-p/s4000/20200903_233511.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOmSB03QhyphenhyphenMJUe13lSIkTnoXukCH71rdqY5-GHTLD1TKTnaN6vvLcVfe_gmbYckLL8cqBTqaOlrPE3NfQqYuHNNCaw3c6PCmZgchMNPG6unAorOlCrpU_ejsaO0V0PTxoa3VeJch_7uD-p/w640-h480/20200903_233511.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>And then of course I had this beautiful Autumn one by<a href="https://www.cobblehillpuzzles.com/Country-Diary-Autumn-p/80213.htm" target="_blank"> Cobble Hill</a>, from the '<a href="https://www.cobblehillpuzzles.com/Country-Diary-Autumn-p/80213.htm" target="_blank">Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady</a>' series.</p><p>Like all the others in the series, it was a joy to complete.

There is just so much else happening that for the most part I get round to puzzling only in the evening for an hour, maybe an hour and a half. I sure enjoy that little time of puzzling at the end of the day. Chatting, enjoying a drink of 'Bengal Tiger' spiced tea by Celestial Seasonings. My all time favourite, and puzzling away.</p><p>For August, the 2 alphabet letters,over in the Puzzling Together FaceBook group, were 'G' and 'X'</p><p>I chose this one 'Games We Played' by White Mountain Puzzles for the 'G' category.

June certainly started at top speed! Good, but busy!<br />
<br />
Let me recap the last of the puzzles I did during May<br />
First up...what can I say? I've been an Edith Holden fan since her 'Country Diary' made it's first appearance back in the 70's. And yet, when I first saw this gorgeous puzzle by <a href="https://www.cobblehillpuzzles.com/" target="_blank">Cobble Hil</a>l, I wondered if I would actually enjoy doing it. The soft colours caused me to hesitate. When a friend offered to trade me this 'Spring' one for a ball of yarn...well that was a deal quickly sealed!<br />
The dark overcast days made taking pictures of this really hard, but even so, the beauty shows through I think.<br />
I made a start on the easiest to identify bits and assembled little vignettes which I then located on the poster and placed in it's approximate place within the border.<br />

A totally satisfying experience. I'm looking forward to doing the rest of the months. I have 'Summer' lined up for June and plan to do 'Autumn' in September. So far I've not been able to locate 'Winter' but am hoping to find it ready to do in December.</div>

Next up was the 'free mystery puzzle' included with a <a href="https://www.bitsandpiecescanada.ca/" target="_blank">Bits & Pieces </a>order. It wasn't something that I would buy myself, but I did enjoy putting it together and was able to trade it locally for another puzzle. Win-win for me!<br />

Last year I found this little puzzle at the local Salvation Army Thrift Store. The fact that it was a map and had a book of riddles with it, was enough for me to take a chance with the purchase. One never knows with thrift store puzzles, do you? However this one was complete. It is an older puzzle but in good condition and I had a good time solving riddles and locating the 'treasure'<br />
I wonder who won the cash prizes back then...<br />

And with childhood memories and remembering walking long paths in the African bush, my puzzle adventures for May came to an end. Varied, full of colour and rich in enjoyment.<br />

It has been a while since I've done so, until Grandbaby arrived last year. It is nice to have an excuse to knit little things again!<br />
<br />
This hat is the same pattern I used for the blue hat I knitted last year. I made her dad hats using the same pattern a few decades ago...<br />

And a pair of the most adorable booties. These were from a library book and I cannot find where I made a note of the title. Sure hope I'll be able to track it down again as these were super cute and very quick to knit! Will definitely have to go hunting for that book!</div>

And finally a cardigan, which I think was from the same book as the booties. Also a quick knit (worsted weight yarn) and she looked adorable in her pink gear LOL<br />

Some time last year I decided to try the Dollar Store puzzles to see what the quality is like. My idea was to take it with me when travelling...well that did not happen this year...so I figured I'd see what it is like anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The quality was better than I expected,but not what I would call 'good', however I think it is feasible for a travelling diversion. No problem if a piece gets lost, no hassle if there is no room in the suitcase to bring it back. KWIM?</div>

Now here is a novel one for me. I have never seen one like it, so that I had to give it a try when it came up for sale locally at a couple of bucks.It was ok, but not a particular favourite of mine. The quality of the pieces was also not the best...<br />

Some of the pieces can be removed to reveal a 'lace edge' No point in trying to do the border on this one first. Best to just jump right in!<br />

Teapots - Cobble Hill - another great build and excellent quality as always. This one was marked on the box as having a piece missing, but I was very happy indeed to find that it was complete after all! YAY!<br />

And finally for this installment - a quick underwater excursion. A puzzle that looks old and possibly drab, but delivers a nice puzzling time and a lovely colourful image. I traded this one for one of mine that was also missing a piece!<br />

This one has some really quirky pieces and many bits simply slide together, they do not interlock. A bit annoying, but doing it on the foam core board meant that I could easily slide bits into place. Good thing it -only just!- fitted the board.<br />

And that is it for Part 2...looks like I will be doing a Part 3 before June is upon us. Until then...happy puzzling!Charne http://www.blogger.com/profile/00181663448450444529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688891061667502114.post-79171398815377873942020-05-18T05:00:00.000-07:002020-05-18T05:00:02.778-07:00Puzzle AdventuresI referred in an earlier post for this year <a href="https://meisiesdoodles.blogspot.com/2020/03/world-puzzle-days.html" target="_blank">'World Puzzle Days'</a> to a jigsaw puzzle event I took part in at the beginning of the year. I learned about this event through a Facebook group called 'Puzzling Together'<br />
'Puzzling Together' is a huge group of jigsaw puzzle makers and run several different 'events' every month. I thought it could be an interesting way to choose puzzles to do (otherwise I'm faced with wanting to do them all at the same time!) while at the same time getting the opportunity to see other puzzles, from around the world, that would have the same topic, theme, brand etc.<br />
Starting in June 2020 we will be doing another alphabet challenge event. For 2 weeks at a time we will be doing puzzles that in some way meet the criteria set by moderators for that letter. We'll cover 2 letters per month.<br />
So far I have puzzles lined up for this year's letters, and have not yet had to borrow one locally from a willing neighbour to help me out, but I expect that will happen at some point in time!<br />
<br />
In the meantime though...between World Puzzle Days and June, I've participated in several 'events', plus I've simply puzzled because I have a puzzle and want to do it...like the <a href="https://meisiesdoodles.blogspot.com/2020/04/puzzle-challenge-scherenschnitt.html" target="_blank">Scherenschnitt</a> one, <a href="https://meisiesdoodles.blogspot.com/2020/03/ruby-geranium-puzzling.html" target="_blank">Ruby Geranium</a> (this one fitted the 'colour name in the title' event criteria btw) and <a href="https://meisiesdoodles.blogspot.com/2020/04/puzzling-four-seasons.html" target="_blank">The Four Seasons</a> - (that happened to fit the 'large piece count' piece event)<br />
<br />
Starting in June I will be catching up on monthly jigsaw puzzling here on the blog at the end of the month with the letters of the alphabet completed during the month, as well as other puzzles I may have completed as I also 'play' along with a group that has a monthly puzzle theme.<br />
<br />
But for this post, I just recap other puzzles completed -<br />
<br />
A beautiful Ravensburger that I traded locally - destined for an older friend who I know will enjoy doing this one!<br />

Only took a year to get to this stage...LOL<br />
This is what it looked like after the first session...then I decided I wanted more blue and definitely darker, so I dyed it again. I used food colouring and basically used all the blue I had and was much happier with the result.<br />
<br />
I used Sock-Ease by Lion Brand. Colour way 'Marshmallow' which is near white.<br />

Doing my version of TAAT (<b>T</b>wo<b>A</b>t<b>AT</b>ime)- two sets of needles, two balls of yarn. Works for me...<br />
<br />
Also I divided the fresh skein of yarn into two, by weighing it, and then dyed the yarn side by side by dipping the strings together. So although the 2 balls are similar, they are not the same and that is exactly what I was going for. It is interesting to see how it is striping and how different it looks.<br />

After about 1.5" of k2p2 ribbing I did about 3.5" of double moss stitch. I wanted a texture, without a pattern and I am very happy with the way it is looking.<br />

I am very pleased with how these turned out and how the fit so well. I think I'll keep to the same formula for the next pair, maybe just changing up the pattern stitch area.<br />
<br />
This last picture is also pretty close to accurate on the colour.<br />

Then I got to looking at it closely and thought ' Oh my!' I knew this would not be the easiest of jigsaws to assemble. And I was right, BUT I did underestimate how much I would enjoy doing this!<br />
Which is of course a very pleasant discovery and I'm glad to say this is going into the collection to stay. It's a keeper for sure.<br />

Towards the end I was faced with a pile of pieces with squiggly lines going nowhere in particular, at which point I decided to sort the pieces by shapes and that helped me to wrap it up much quicker than expected.<br />

Bought myself a Christmas treat there and then!<br />

I did sort out the edge pieces first, but soon realized there are too few that show details from the image itself and too little difference between the shades of pale tan. It seemed unnecessarily complicated to insist on completing it first.<br />

Instead I launched straight into starting with items I could identify the pieces of. That was easier said than done too, as there's a lot of red and loads of green. Because I don't sort pieces, but dig through the box, it made getting going with this 2000 piece puzzle a lot slower. However I loved the look of the pieces! They look like little gems! So digging through them and looking closely at each one was rather a pleasure!</div>

I enjoyed this puzzle from start to finish. As always the <a href="https://www.cobblehillpuzzles.com/The-Four-Seasons-p/89004.htm" target="_blank">Cobble Hill</a> quality is outstanding. The linen finish of the pieces feel so luxurious. The colours are deep, saturated, rich.<br />
The box is beautiful and sturdy and they stack in a way that you can always easily spot a particular puzzle regardless of how the boxes are stacked. Each puzzle is identified by a clear image, full or partial, on the each side of the box.<br />

What a lovely image for a puzzle! I am very fond of hummingbirds and liked this picture very much. Although I purchased it last year, I only got round to doing it recently. It is called <b>'Ruby Geranium' </b>and I found this one on Amazon. I could only locate one copy there, and none on the Cobble Hill website itself. Whether it is still available I couldn't tell.<br />
<br />
It was an enjoyable build for sure even if the red got tricky at times. Being a <b><a href="https://www.cobblehillpuzzles.com/" target="_blank">Cobble Hill </a></b>the quality was good, I love the linen finish of the pieces, the beautiful saturated colours and the random cut of the pieces. I did notice that the cut on this is different from the more recent Cobble Hills I've done, but I liked it just as much.<br />

I don't usually sort the pieces into trays to work from just because it is not practical to do in the space where I puzzle, however I do a 'general sorting' when there are large areas of similar colours that looks something like this -<br />

Once I have separate piles I will take one colour pile at a time and assemble from there.<br />
In this case I started with the green pile and at the bottom of the image working my way up, before starting on the reds, again working from the bottom up. It is always so nice to discover pieces for other areas, such as the birds, while assembling a leaf or flower!<br />

Definitely a keeper puzzle that will become one to do repeatedly over the years. I'm glad to add it to my stock of bird themed puzzles and it is a good addition to my <a href="https://www.cobblehillpuzzles.com/" target="_blank"> Cobble Hill Collection</a><br />
