Santa’s Workshop Puzzle from Eurographics

Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas everyone! Let’s head over to the North Pole and peek in on Santa’s Workshop, a puzzle from Eurographics! Looks like toys are being made just in time for them to be delivered to boys and girls all over the world! And look! Santa’s dog is sitting nearby, watching closely as Santa puts the final touches on a toy train!

All The Same

If you zoom in on the picture of this Santa’s Workshop puzzle from Eurographics you’ll notice something about all of the non-edge pieces. Yep, that’s right. They’re all cut the same. There’s only one kind of piece in this puzzle. You might think that’d make it easier. But it does not. We often like to sort our pieces by cut style. Well, no point in doing that with this puzzle!

I couldn’t find this exact puzzle on Amazon, but there are lots of great Santa-related puzzles to be found online. We bought this puzzle used and it appears to be a little older, so I’m not surprised I can’t find it easily.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 19″ high and 27″ wide. No poster was included but we did buy this puzzle used so perhaps the original came with one. The pieces fit fairly loosely. This puzzle was quite challenging despite the fact that all of the non-edge pieces are the same exact cut. The artwork appears to be a painting, and some pieces are difficult to place within the puzzle. It was all part of the fun! This was a great puzzle to step back and enjoy when completed!

The Potting Shed Puzzle from Eurographics

We have a fairly large shed behind our house. It’s where we keep the mower, pots, tools and stuff. It is nowhere near as organized as the one in the Potting Shed puzzle from Eurographics. Not even close. This puzzle was more fun to put together than organizing our shed could ever be. There are all sorts of neat garden things in it, many of them old. Some vintage. Kinda like our shed. And there is the obligatory cat. We no longer have a cat but we definitely have mice and a rather energetic ground squirrel living in our shed.

My Pet Peeve

We really did enjoy assembling the Potting Shed puzzle from Eurographics. But… now it’s time for one my pet peeves. This puzzle did not come with a poster, which is fine. We can work from the picture on the box. Well, sort of. You see, there were little graphics, words, that covered parts of the picture on the box. It wasn’t a big thing, but it kinda gets me going. I know people that assemble puzzles without ever looking at the picture so I got a slight feel for what that’s like. I think I’ll stay to using a picture!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 500 pieces. The final puzzle is about 27″ wide and 19″ high. There was no poster included and as I mentioned, a little bit of the picture on the box was obscured. The pieces are fairly big and thick and fit fairly well. The image is well-done and fun to look at.

We purchased this puzzle at Hobby Lobby but you can also find a larger version (1000 pieces) on Amazon.

The Greatest Bookstore in the World Puzzle from Eurographics

Stress relief. That’s a big reason for doing puzzles. Yet, some puzzles can be stressful. And fortunately, a lot of them are in-between. The Greatest Bookstore in the World puzzle from Eurographics is one of those in-between-ers. The bookshelves weren’t too bad. Kind of relaxing. The flowers… a bit tougher. As were the brick walls along the edges. In the end, though, this was a very great puzzle and one we remember quite fondly. It was a balance of easier and harder.

How Much Is That Kitty In The Window

There are a few cute spots in this The Greatest Bookstore in the World puzzle from Eurographics. I mean, the whole puzzle is nice but there are always little things in a puzzle that you look back at with a smile, right? There’s a cute kitty in the bookstore window. And there’s one in one of the windows eyeing a pigeon. The bike is wonderful. And of course the bookstore looks like a great place to hang out and peruse for hours on end.

The French Walkway Puzzle from Eurographics

Every once-in-a-while we look thru the ‘to-do’ pile of puzzles and decide that it’s time to do a difficult one. The French Walkway puzzle from Eurographics was definitely in the ‘difficult’ category for us. The final image was fantastic. This will be one of our favorite puzzles forever. The memories of the challenging sections are long gone, replaced by time spent enjoying the final result.

So Many Challenges

There were so many parts of The French Walkway puzzle from Eurographics that posed a challenge. The walkway was tough but not too bad since the shading varied enough so you kinda knew where pieces go. The walls and ivy and flowers were all demanding.

My (somewhat crooked) picture does not do this puzzle justice. It was definitely a frame-able puzzle if you’re looking for something nice to hang on the wall.
