Disney D100 Moana

Brand: Ravensburger

Pieces: 300
Size:  27cm x 39cm

Product Code: 133758

I've long been a Disney-loving girl, and as such, when Disney celebrated 100 years, I was all over the puzzles that celebrated this iconic anniversary. 

I managed to find and do all the puzzles in the above collection, and as I have recently seen advertising for the live action version of Moana (soon to be released), I have decided to put up the above puzzle. 

I absolutely love the film of Moana, and would have to say it's one of my favourites. I'm not sure what exactly draws me in but it's a film I really enjoy, as does my little girl. The above puzzle was a quick and fun one to do, making good use of colour blocks in the illustration. I'll eventually post all the others from this collection, but for now, this will have to do. Enjoy!

I participated in a speed puzzling competition last Saturday, and although it was a fun experience, it was such a tough puzzle! This was the first puzzling comp in Geelong, so it was good to try it out in a place close to home for once. The puzzle was from Ravensburger and was titled Retro Mickey. Of the 13 people competing, only 3 finished it in the 2-hour time limit (I was not one of them haha)

This is the second Disney one I have done in a row for competitions - maybe I need to do some more Disney ones to practice?! I definitely have enough to choose from, and from a variety of brands. That's why I have decided to put up a Disney one today, featuring so many of the popular princesses. 

The above puzzle was fun to do, with the main challenge being the rose border on the edges. Regardless, I enjoyed doing it, the design was cute and the price was affordable (as is usually the case with this brand).

Have you competed in a puzzling competition recently? How did you go?

Hi all!

In all the excitement of Halloween a few weeks back, I forgot to say that I was going to be absent the next week (which turned out to be last weekend) cos I was working interstate again. Hope you didn't miss me (or this blog) too much! Because of that, I didn't put up any posts or images and I'm sorry for not giving you the heads up about it. But that is likely the last time that will happen for a while, so never fear! 

Today I have decided to put up this image from a quick little cube puzzle I did. It took such a short amount of time to do, because of its piece size but the design image was bright and fun. I think it only cost $2 to buy though 😅😂I've chosen this one after watching the film last night, and in anticipation of the sequel which will be released sometime soon. I'll try and get a more substantial-sized puzzle done and up soon.

Have a great weekend!

Dreams Can Come True (Disney Princess)

Brand: Ravensburger

Pieces: 150 XXL
Size: 49cm x 36cm

Product Code: 128730

This puzzle image today was chosen by my beautiful little girl who just got out of bed and decided to join me. She selected it because she saw all the Disney princesses and loves Moana. I'm glad she chose it, because I was seriously unsure about which one I should put up today!

Honestly, I'm a little frazzled, because today is the Victorian puzzle competition (which I am attending and competing in) but I have not had the chance to practice at all, and the weather is disgusting out there and we still have to travel, and last year I arrived over half an hour late and didn't complete the puzzle in time! I just want to finish and get a good time, without that anxiety haha! Time will tell how I go, but wish me luck!

I haven't really got much to say about this puzzle but that the quality was perfect Ravensburger-style and the design was appealing. Sorry for the brevity. 

Now I really need to go get ready. I'll let you know next week how I went!

Disney Pix Collection: Princess Selfies

Brand: Jumbo

Pieces: 1000
Size: 68cm x 49cm

Product Code: 19763

My little daughter has just turned one and a half, and we've been watching a lot of sing-a-long versions of Disney songs on Youtube. She absolutely loves some of them, and so I thought I'd put this puzzle up for her, as it features a few of her favourites.

I purchased this puzzle from a UK website and loved it. I've only done a few Jumbo-branded puzzles but they've all been high quality. The pieces fit together perfectly and the design is lovely.

I have several more puzzles from this brand in my collection (including a few fantasy-inspired ones) and I'm looking forward to doing them at some point!

Moana

Brand: Tenyo
Pieces: 1000
Size: 51cm x 73.5cm
Product Code: D-1000-475

During the week it was International Women's Day, a day where women around the world are celebrated for all that they can and will achieve throughout their lives. In commemoration of this, I decided to put up a puzzle of one of Disney's newest (and strongest) female characters- Moana. 

If you haven't seen this movie, then I highly recommend it- the characters are funny, easy to relate to, and their islander ways are a breath of fresh air compared to some of the more traditional Disney characters of years past. 

This puzzle, produced by Japanese brand Tenyo, was quite easy to do until you got to the waves that surround Moana. While it wasn't difficult to differentiate between the shades of blue, it did slow me down a little in terms of time to complete the puzzle- which is to be expected! The quality of this puzzle was, of course, outstanding and the design is beautiful. 

Perfect for adult fans of the film who want something a little more than the usual 200 or so piece puzzles that are generally produced for children....
