As the Chinese New Year has just begun, I have decided to put up this puzzle in celebration of the event. 

This puzzle, designed by Lucia Heffernan, features all twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac. As I have mentioned previously, I enjoy looking at designs that feature this kind of theme, and the Chinese version is no exception to the rule. The colours in this puzzle were vibrant and the puzzle was quick to do when you sorted the pieces into the 'panels' - it was almost like doing twelve individual little puzzles. 

Are you interested in designs like this, as I am? If you enjoy zodiac-themed puzzles, does that interest extend towards Oriental zodiac-themed designs such as the Chinese New Year?

Today is Valentine's Day, and whether you 'celebrate' it or not, there's no doubt that there is going to be a lot of 'love-themed' stuff going around. This is my addition to the mix.

The above puzzle, which was designed by artist Barb Tourtillotte, features a whimsical love bird and floral design and is very romancey (for lack of a better word). The pieces in this puzzle were random cut, which added to the interest of completing it, and made it just that little bit more challenging. This design was a little bit out of the ordinary for me but I still enjoyed putting it together. 

Are you tackling any jigsaw puzzles specifically for Valentine's Day?

Wonderland

Today's puzzle delves into the strange and unusual world of Wonderland, with various characters and scenes from the Lewis Carroll story depicted in this older Magnolia design. 

I'm not sure why, but I seem to have accumulated a few puzzles with an Alice In Wonderland theme, and this puzzle is one of them. It was a pleasure to do, and was a little challenging with the backgrounds behind each of the illustrations. 

Is there a literary theme that you have followed in your puzzling adventures, like my Alice one? I'd love to hear what it is!
