Grand Canyon National Park - RoseArt 100pc

I’ve always assumed RoseArt puzzles were poor quality and never bought any. This set wore more down and I finally got it, hoping, wishing, they would do it right with something like this. The big box feels so nice. The artwork is pretty. Even the inner boxes feel nice.

Unfortunately the puzzle falls short. Torn backing, bent tabs, and incomplete cuts 😔

A well done series like this would get me every time if a higher quality company made one.

After several weeks of striking out, my luck changed this week! Middle NYPC and Boardwalk puzzles are unopened. Saving the 5k piece one for next winter.

Came home with the Ravensburgers! They had just put out the White Mountain while I was there, for anyone who is a fan of the brand. Also, we still have some Hobbry hanging around!

I had tried to get a picture of the felt top and why it was driving me crazy, but couldn’t, until I sprayed the fabric adhesive on it! All those little fibers drove me INSANE. The second picture is what it looks like now, after glueing a new heavy fabric over top. Tilted and not having any problem yet!

This was an absolute delight. I love that the pieces are unique and not just a square grid cut into a circle. Setting the expectations high as my first non-rectangular puzzle.

The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, Summer- Cobble Hill 1000pc

Spent about 2 weeks on this one. All of those small green and white pieces had me crosseyed. I’d work it for a little bit, then put a sheet over it and work a 300/500 over top so I could have a change of pace!
