Lately I've been fascinated by the amount of 'textured' puzzle designs that have been on the market. These vary in form from mountainous scenes to animals, and appear as either paper-crafted or stitched designs. 

They look incredible when complete and pop out from the design in a way that looks more 3D than anything!

I have to admit that a few may have made it into my home, including the one above. There is so much detail and texture and I absolutely love the look.

Have you tried one of the above style? Let me know your thoughts...

The Sewing Shed

Brand: Ravensburger

Pieces: 1000
Size:  70cm x 50cm

Product Code: 198924

I did this puzzle a little while ago but it seems fitting for today, considering I saw my homecraft entry at the Geelong Show last night (which was a long stitch of some gerberas), that was created from a kit I had within my own craft 'sewing' room. 

Although the outside of the box didn't indicate it, I believe this design is part of the 'sheds' collection from Ravensburger, that features different 'men's sheds' and specialist rooms. I really enjoy doing puzzles from series' like this. 

Today is going to be another short post cos I have much to do, but at least it was a larger count puzzle this week than I've been putting up lately!

Vintage Dress Making

Brand: Ravensburger

Pieces: 1000
Size:  70cm x 50cm

Product Code: 169283

If you've been following this account over the years, you would know that besides jigsaw puzzling, I'm an avid crafter and usually enter my cross stitch and embroidery into the town's local annual show. Because of this, I also enjoy doing puzzles that feature elements of my different passions, and so the above one was no exception.

While I have not attempted dressmaking (as yet) I loved the design of the above Ravensburger puzzle. 

The vibrant colours, busy design and pretty little details made the above puzzle a joy to do. 

Do you have other hobbies besides doing jigsaw puzzles? Do you try and find puzzles that feature cross-over designs with this hobby?
