Everything is Star Wars again at the moment. The ninth and final film The Rise Of Skywalker, has come out in the cinemas and The Mandalorian has had a successful run of its first season on Disney Plus.
Being a self-confessed nerd, I have been all over it, which is why, for my final post of 2019, I have decided to put up a puzzle of Yoda, the ultimate Jedi master! I'm just waiting for a puzzle of Baby Yoda to come out (from The Mandalorian) cos he's so cute but until then, this will have to do,
The pieces of this puzzle were quite large, and the colours were terrific. Until this, the only Buffalo puzzles I had done were of a larger piece count, so this was a little different to what I was used to. But the final design came together nicely, and the puzzle looks amazing displayed next to the Vader one (which I will post at a later date).
I hope you have a safe and happy new year, and if you're participating in the World Puzzles Days Event, I hope you have an absolute blast. I'm really looking forward to my first one!
See you in the new year!

Well it's the last Saturday before Christmas and so here is the last Christmas puzzle I have on offer for the time being- Princess Christmas Celebrations! Of course I had to finish on a high and include a beloved Disney design :)
This one features the main Disney princesses (and all the woodland animals that seem to favour them) in a wintery Christmas scene. The quality was perfect as usual and the design was appealing to anyone who loves the characters involved.
My next post will be put up in that weird holiday space between Christmas and New Year so I'll see you then for the final post of 2019! In the meantime, have a Merry and Safe Christmas!

When I shop in department stores, I like to look at the puzzle ranges that they stock. Sometimes they have some of the more well-known brands like Ravensburger or Blue Opal, but occasionally you also come across a no-name brand (made for the store that's selling it). This was the case with the above puzzle. I found this one in the Christmas section of Big W and I couldn't see any branding or title on it. Therefore it is now known as the Big W Branded Untitled Christmas Puzzle!
The design was too cute to pass up, and it was only $4! Surprisingly the pieces were good quality and fit together well. A nice little Christmas treat!
On another note, sorry about the super early post! We were meant to be travelling to Sydney again today but industrial action has meant that a lot of Jetstar flights have been cancelled or delayed. The flight my parents and brother were meant to catch tomorrow has been cancelled so they're no longer going. As for us, ours wasn't cancelled until early this morning (when we had already gotten up at quarter to four to get ready!) but we're now catching another morning flight. Unfortunately that means I'm up and awake now for no reason- no point in going back to bed now!- but it also means I had a chance to put this up. You would have had to wait till tomorrow night otherwise!!
Oh well, c'est la vie.

We're in December now, so I feel like it's time to unleash some of the Christmas puzzles I have done. I work in retail and for me, the Christmas season began long ago. In fact, we haven't even put up our tree at home yet cos I've already become Christmas-ed out at work and I'm trying to avoid it!!
But puzzles are a different story, so I will be putting some up in the lead-up to the big day!
So the first one I'm posting isn't technically to do with Christmas, but at the same time it kind of is (?!) I loved the bright and bold colours of this one, and the 'stained glass' look. It was actually a little bit more challenging than I anticipated too, which can occasionally be a good thing.
There are two more Saturdays before Christmas day so I will try to make those themed as well. Also, next week's post might be either a little bit early (Friday) or a little bit late (Sunday) cos I'm going to be interstate again. We'll see how I go!

Well, I said I was probably going to miss posting up a puzzle last week and that was absolutely true! I had a valid excuse though- the wedding of one of my brother's! He married his beautiful fiance and I couldn't be happier for them! Hence the small puzzle post this week of a pair of cute little Love Birds!
This was just a cheap, small-piece puzzle that I picked up at Kmart but the quality was adequate for what I paid and the colours were bright and clear.
Next week I hope to put up a picture of a more substantial puzzle but we'll just have to see how I go...

In the three or so years that I've been running this blog and accompanying Instagram page, I think I've only missed one or two Saturdays of posting something up. Even then, I have managed to put something up either a few days before or after, as I knew I wouldn't have the chance otherwise.
I'm afraid this is going to be the case again next week. One of my brother's is getting married, and I'll be travelling to Sydney over the weekend to help celebrate! So my post for next week is likely to be done on Sunday night. Never fear though, I won't forget! I just thought I'd let you know so that you don't think I'm lacking! Hahaha
OK, so today, I've decided to post the above picture of a small Japanese puzzle featuring the leading ladies from Frozen! I absolutely loved the first film and am excited for the sequel which will be coming out in cinemas soon. This puzzle wasn't made of cardboard pieces- instead the pieces were a thin opaque plastic which clicked together nicely. I love the superior quality of Japanese jigsaw puzzles and this one was no exception!

I wrote last week that I didn't really have a reason for posting up a photo of my biggest completed puzzle to date. Is it possible to create a reason for it now? It turns out that last week was my 200th post on Instagram, so it seems kind of fitting to claim it now as the reason why I put that puzzle up!
I was amazed at the amount of people who showed love for that particular puzzle, but I don't think that will continue so much into this week... oh well! This week's puzzle is one that I have had in my collection since childhood but had never done. I think it may have been a cheap one that I got from Kmart or Target and liked the design of. I've never really seen this brand since! The factory seal on the bottom of it was still intact and I had to cut through it to open it. I decided to put this one up as I thought it would be relevant to Remembrance Day which is in 2 days- the red poppies have a significance!
This puzzle was quite quick and easy to do and there was virtually no puzzle dust. It's a pity it took me a few decades till I got around to completing it!
