I've gone with a somewhat different puzzle style for today's post (which you may also notice is a day late due to the wedding I attended yesterday). T

his illustrated collection of dresses, tops, skirts, pants and footwear (created by Hennie Haworth) drew my attention immediately. I've always been fascinated with fashion drawings and love to see the creativity come out to play. Putting this puzzle picture up has actually inspired me to dig out a couple of fashion-themed puzzles that I know I have hidden away and do them!! This puzzle was relatively easy to do when you searched for particular patterns in the clothing designs, and completed them in parts. I found it easier to leave the border and white fillers till the end. 

This was the first puzzle I have done from this brand and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although they are a little pricey, I have my eye on a few other designs so we'll see what eventuates from that.

I most likely won't be putting up a post at all next weekend because I will be travelling interstate for work. However, I will be back the following week with yet another puzzle post for you.

Take care and keep puzzling!

Happy Holiday

Brand: Ravensburger
Pieces: 1500
Size: 80 x 60cm
Product Code:  163076

With the approach of the Christmas season comes yet another 'event' that many people look forward to- the start of the holidays! 

While some of us only get a few days off between Christmas and New Year, for many, it is just the rejuvenation that one needs to keep going until their allocated annual leave or holiday time. 

If you're lucky enough to have planned your holiday time for this period, then you can enjoy some blissful time away from the hectic struggles of the workplace (or school, if you're studying), and relax away your days. If not, then it is easy enough to enjoy the few days you have and look forward to a longer rest a little further in the future. 

Regardless of your situation, there's no doubt that any holiday is a good holiday, which is why I thought this puzzle- Happy Holiday- would be quite appropriate. The imagery in this puzzle brings to mind sunny beach holidays and relaxing ocean views (probably quite hard to imagine if you live in the Northern Hemisphere at this time of year!), and evokes memories of salt, sun and sand. 

This puzzle, despite its size, was quite quick to do, especially when done in sections. You would think that some of the sections would be difficult (with like colours in many of the sand and sky images) but the varying shades made this less of a challenge than you'd expect.

The design is vibrant, fun and inspiring (especially if you're planning an upcoming beach holiday!)

I hope you enjoy your holidays- beachside or otherwise!
