Well I'm back after two weekends of slinging popculture paraphernalia at buying convention visitors, and boy, is it good to be home! 

I love that I get the chance to do things like that through work, but I equally love having my weekends back at home when all the hard work is done!

You'd think that I would have had a great puzzle lined up as a 'welcome back' kind of thing, but sadly, that was the last thing on my mind this weekend. I've been so busy just getting back into the swing of things (and readjusting from Perth's two-hour time difference lol) that I didn't get the chance. 

So I have put up one that has been in my collection for a few months at least- this delightfully colourful sheep puzzle! This one drew my attention when I first saw it, simply because of the colours. The book Where Is The Green Sheep? by Mem Fox was also in rotation with my daughter at the time, so it seemed fitting. 

This puzzle was fun to do, and I got it completed relatively quickly. 

On a completely irrelevant side note, are you going to pre-order Reverie Puzzles new Advent/ Halloween calendar puzzles? Pre-orders open at 12pm today and I am so excited! Haha 

See you next week!

Buttercup Meadow (Santoro)

I'm not sure what the weather's like in your neck of the woods at the moment, but over the last few days, summer has certainly made it's presence felt where I live! We've had several days where the temperature has been over 30 degrees celsius- not something I terribly enjoy, unless there is a pool and cool drinks around to make it bearable! 

Because of the discomfort I've been feeling, I decided to do a puzzle with soft, calming colours (which still holds a summery feel) and couldn't go past the cutely illustrated Buttercup Meadow. Released by Ravensburger and designed by the clever folks at Santoro, this puzzle has a lot of similar colours (in the white and ecru tones of the sheep) which makes it a little bit more challenging than you would expect. There are also varying shades of green and blue throughout the design. 

This image is very cute, of high quality, and is one of a few that Santoro have collaborated with Ravensburger to release. I'll definitely be looking out for any others they may put out.
