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!

Needles And Such

Brand: MB Puzzle 

Pieces: 1000
Size: 50.8cm x 68.58cm

Yesterday (Friday 30 July) was World Embroidery Day so I thought it would be fitting to put up the above puzzle which features needles, thread and other embroidery materials! I have done a lot of embroidery over the years (mostly cross stitch though) and I love the fact that there is a day dedicated to commemorating such a fun and beautiful craft.

The above puzzle (with artwork by Angela Anderson) was a bit more challenging to do than I previously expected, probably because of the repeating motifs throughout the design, but I really enjoyed it regardless. The colours were vibrant and the design was busy (but not too busy if you know what I mean). The quality of the pieces was good for a cheaper brand puzzle. 

What hobbies do you do that have been commemorated by a special day? Have you seen puzzles around that are representative of your hobby?
