Current mood? See above. 

I have been feeling so physically exhausted lately- between working, early mornings, gym sessions and always being on the go, I don't feel as though I've been able to just rest properly. I have all the feels for the above design, where the mamas are just chilling, sharing a cup of coffee and having a natter in their pretty PJs.

This puzzle was fun to do, with several colour points to focus on, and lots of different patterns. The pieces fit together well and the overall quality was great (as is usually the case for Galison). I also loved the illustration style, which instantly drew my attention. 

I will be working interstate over the next two weekends, so, once again, I won't be posting any more puzzles until I'm back. 

I've got grand plans to put up some awesome new puzzle images on my return... 

Stay tuned xo

Pets Rock Film

Brand: MB Puzzle (Crown)
Pieces: 1000
Size: 45.7cm x 60.9cm
Product Code: -

I got all four wisdom teeth out during the week, so I've had plenty of time to sit around and do things at home while I recover- there's no way I'm going out in public with puffy swollen cheeks and bruising! 

So while I can get a few puzzles done, I also have the chance to watch a few films- hence my choice for today, Pets Rock Film. 

In typical fashion, the cats and dogs in this design are dressed up to replicate famous film stars and characters. They are instantly recognisable, which means that the people behind the looks have got themselves sorted! I have put up a Pets Rock puzzle in the past (Pets Rock Fame) and some of the images from this one were used in that one too, although I found this puzzle to take longer due to the film reel and red background. Sometimes the pieces were very similar and it was difficult to find which one went where, but that's all part of the fun. 

Besides that, this puzzle was quite easy to do when you sorted the puzzle into each individual 'portrait'. I have one more of these puzzles in my collection- music- and I'll put it up eventually. Until then, we'll see what else I can do... 

Pets Rock Fame

Brand: MB Puzzle (Crown)
Pieces: 1000
Size: 45.7cm x 60.9cm
Product Code: -

I decided to put up something a little different today- a puzzle from the Pets Rock franchise that has come about from social media. I found this puzzle (as well as the film and music versions) at Big W, and was fascinated with how they managed to 'dress' the cats and dogs to look like famous icons and celebrities. It was quite disturbing to realise that I recognised most of the 'people' from just a few choice outfits!

The above puzzle is quite easy to do if you sort by each individual outfit or pet colour. The pieces are relatively small, and I was able to fit the entire puzzle on a piece of cardboard (which is sometimes difficult for puzzles over 500 pieces). The pieces fit together quite well but I'm unsure how well it would go if there were large expanses of the same colour to put together.

I already have the other two in this 'series' so it's only a matter of time before I put them up as well. But I don't want to have a Pets Rock overload (the pictures creep me out a little sometimes) so I might wait a bit before posting the next one!  

Cupcake (Studio Pets By Myrna)

Brand: Crown
Pieces: 1000
Size: 73cm x 48cm
Product Code:  16661

It was the 91st birthday of my Nonna (Italian grandmother) this week, which I'm sure most of you will agree is quite an achievement!

This puzzle, which combines cute animals with cupcakes (one with a candle!), seemed like a lovely tribute, considering Nonna's former occupation as a chef and her appreciation for baby animals (especially the ducklings).

Studio Pets By Myrna is a business that takes photos of your pets to create fun merchandise products and prints. In this case, they have teamed up with Crown to produce some cute designs for jigsaw puzzles- one of which is pictured above (which I recently completed). Not only are the designs adorable, but they are also made from a good quality cardboard. This one was quite quick to do, with only the similar-coloured fur types giving me trouble on occasion.

If you love cute baby animals and have an appreciation for tasty baked goods, then this puzzle is for you!
