The Whitsundays, QLD

Brand: Ken Duncan Images Of Australia (Crown & Andrews) -The World's Most Beautiful Jigsaw Puzzles
Pieces: 504
Size: 64cm x 24cm
Product Code: -

I wasn't sure which puzzle to put up this morning, so I decided on this tranquil scene of The Whitsundays in Queensland. I thought it would be a nice reminder that there is peace in the world (particularly following the news that Russia has declared war on Ukraine). 

This is a photo by Ken Duncan, a photographer whose puzzles I have featured quite a bit. I love his imagery of some of Australia's most beautiful landscapes. He is able to capture so much beauty through his lens- something pleasant to reflect on when times are dark. 

Despite all the different shades of blue, this puzzle was a pleasure to work, and I would love the opportunity to visit the place one day...

Lazy Sunday

Brand: Gibsons

Pieces: 1000
Size: 68cm x 49cm

Product Code:  G6610

Hi all!

Today I have decided to put up a picture of a Gibsons puzzle that I recently did for the World Puzzle Days 2022 event. It is called Lazy Sunday, which is what I plan on having after the busy birthday festivities of last weekend! Our baby's 1st birthday celebrations were fantastic (and busy, as I said), so not much puzzling happened but we still had a great time.

The above puzzle design is a mixed media style format. I was drawn to the unusual style of the illustration, with its many textures and patterns. I thought it might be difficult to do, but actually putting it together was quite easy (working in sections and blocks). The quality of the pieces was wonderful- they were thick and sturdy. I quite enjoyed doing this puzzle and will more than likely seek out more from the brand in the future.

Disney Pixar Heroes

Brand: Nathan

Pieces: 500
Size: 49cm x 36cm

Product Code:  872169

This will have to be a quick post today, cos I have a lot of work to do! Our baby turned one yesterday and we're having a party with friends for her today so I need to finish making the house presentable, ice the cake, collect the balloons from the store, pick up the specially made cookies from my friend's house and so much more! 

At least most of it will then be done before the second party-the family party- tomorrow! Phew! We've had to split them in two because it will be too crowded at our place if everyone is here at once. So lucky girl gets two birthday parties and two chances to be spoilt rotten! Hahaha

Anyway, the puzzle I've decided to put up today is Disney Pixar Heroes- simply because it was a bright and fun one to do. It was the first puzzle I had ever done from the Nathan brand and I was pleased with the quality. I'll be more than happy to do some more of this brand if I come across them again. 

Baby Yoda (Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

Brand: Crown

Pieces: 48
Size: 26cm x 23cm

Product Code:  -

Have you been watching Disney Plus' show, The Book Of Boba Fett? 

We've been watching it and can't help but feel that we're watching new episodes of The Mandalorian, and that they just haven't changed the title. Boba Fett (the character) has barely appeared in the last two episodes! But that doesn't matter so much, because it means that we get to see Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) again.

This puzzle didn't have a title on the box so I've taken liberties with what I've called it, but it was a nice and quick one to do. The quality was quite cheap as expected but I didn't mind when it meant I got to see that cute little face!
