Blanket Fort 1979 Puzzle from Buffalo Games

This Blanket Fort 1979 puzzle from Buffalo Games is one of Aimee Stewart’s most colorful works. And as with many of her works, there’s a lot going on. Lots of things that flash me back to the 70s. Flashback to days building blanket forts in the living room while watching Saturday morning cartoons. Although there’s nothing cartoony about this puzzle, there are tons of cool 70s things to be found. Too many to even start to list. They sure do add to the fun of putting this masterpiece together!

Hide and Seek

This puzzle is kind of a like a game of hide and seek. Or a treasure hunt. There are objects galore in this Blanket Fort 1979 puzzle from Buffalo Games. My wife particularly enjoyed this vintage bowl. As a collector of old dishes, finding it made her smile! It’s just another thing that makes this puzzle a joy.

It’s Not All Fun And Games

Sure, it was a pleasure to step back after the last piece went into this puzzle and enjoy the colors and the objects. But getting to that moment was challenging at times. The colors in this puzzle are a treat but they make parts of the puzzle difficult. A fun difficult, though.

Donut Delight Puzzle from Cross and Glory

What is it that draws us to puzzles that have pictures of food on them? Why do we put ourselves through it? “Oh, I want to work on a puzzle for hours and hours that makes me hungry.” And donuts? Could it be even more self-punishing? This Donut Delight puzzle from Cross and Glory made us hungry. But boy, did it come out great looking in the end. This was a fun (and challenging) puzzle. Despite making our stomachs growl.

Done With The Donuts

Several of the donuts in this puzzle are similar in color. And pattern. That made it quite challenging in spots. So did the dark gaps between them. Even still, we recommend this Donut Delight puzzle from Cross and Glory. Just don’t work on it while you’re hungry. You’ll end up at Dunkin’ Donuts!

I could not find a link to this puzzle online so I do not know if it’s still available for purchase. Their macaron puzzle looks just as great!

Flowers and Flyers Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We traded with a couple in our neighborhood for this Flowers and Flyers puzzle from Buffalo Games. It instantly caught our attention. How could it not? The amazing colors jumped right off of the box. Although we knew it would be a challenging puzzle, we could not resist. So we grabbed it and ran. Well, walked.

A Slow Start

Right out of the gates progress was a little slow on this Flowers and Flyers puzzle from Buffalo games. As the official ‘Edge Guy’ I found myself making several mistakes along the sides, putting pieces in the wrong places. They fit, but they were wrong. And it was challenging to find the wrong ones, too. But perseverance paid off.

Tackling the flowers was too overwhelming at first. So we concentrated on the butterflies and the vertical lines separating the ‘columns’ of plants. Those lines proved challenging too, but at least the colors were easy to identify.

In the end we had an amazingly colorful puzzle that we could step back and enjoy. If we glued and framed puzzles, this would be the first one we would do. It’s like art.

Sunday Morning Stroll Puzzle from Buffalo Games

This Sunday Morning Stroll puzzle from Buffalo Games is another great Charles Wysocki work. His paintings translate well into puzzles. The imagery is always fantastic. Almost transporting. All of our Wysocki puzzles prior to this one were more rural American scenes. This one is a more south-of-the-border painting. Oh, but don’t get fooled by the wonderful picture. Difficult challenges await.

Great Pieces. Tough Puzzle.

All is not burros, geese and flowers at the cantina. Tough times lurk in the trees above. Although we found most of this puzzle to be a pretty average challenge, the trees (particularly on the upper left) were a real test for us. Because of the painting quality (and that’s not a negative, just a note) it’s hard to tell which pieces fit in where. It took us a while. That’s ok because oh did we ever enjoy the time and the final result of this Sunday Morning Stroll puzzle from Buffalo Games.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces are thick and fit really well. The painting is fantastic. There is a poster included. This is a great, quality challenging puzzle!

Summer Breeze Puzzle from White Mountain

I am pretty sure we both heard the ocean waves while making this Summer Breeze puzzle from White Mountain. And we could hear the gulls and the warm summer breeze blowing across the porch. This was a great puzzle that was fun and relaxing to do.

Relax When You’re Done

Oh sure, we’d all like to be sitting in the image from this Summer Breeze puzzle from White Mountain. But before we can dream of that we have to put it all together. And that’s not as easy as it might seem. There are a few challenging spots to be found. The chairs, rug and the cream-colored wood posts and ceiling for example. The sky and ocean, often a tough spot in many puzzles, were actually pretty easy to do.

Book Nook Puzzle from White Mountain

We often go from easy puzzles to hard puzzles and back again. The easy puzzles give us a little breather before diving in on the ones that are more challenging. Like this Book Nook puzzle from White Mountain. Although not super difficult, it did offer a few challenges along the way. There are some decidedly darker areas of this puzzle making it a little harder to tell the pieces apart. But the hope of a great looking puzzle kept us going until success!

Kinda Spooky

I found parts of this Book Nook puzzle from White Mountain a little spooky. Not scary spooky. There are lizards around. And mice. Little things like that. You’ll find them as you go and think “wow, look at that!”. And the lighting made me think “spooky”. But it’s a fun picture and quite relaxing to sit back and enjoy. So I guess it’s spooky in a good way!

My wife did not find it spooky but instead thought it’d be a great place to read!

Budzen’s Puzzle from Buffalo Games

This Budzen’s puzzle from Buffalo Games was our first puzzle with artwork by Charles Wysocki. We’d heard his name many times in various puzzle circles but honestly, we didn’t really know anything about him. So like anyone else, we looked him up on Wikipedia. Wysocki was an artist that painted mostly primitive works that depicted an early American life. We both enjoyed the artwork and the challenge of this puzzle. It was definitely tricky in spots, with lots of similar colors and textures making it easy to confuse the pieces. That’s good. A good challenge is a good thing.

Quality In Every Way

Puzzle quality comes in several ways. Of course you want quality, well-cut thick pieces that fit well. And you want amazing art. A poster is a plus, for us. And a bit of a challenge is a good thing. This Budzen’s puzzle from Buffalo Games was quality all-around. This won’t be our last Charles Wysocki puzzle. In fact, we already find ourselves seeking them out now when we go puzzle hunting.

Reader’s Paradise Puzzle from White Mountain

Some puzzles make you feel warm. Comfortable. Relaxed. Or at least they do me. I think a lot of that is the colors in the picture. Soft colors. Pleasant images. It’s not a coincidence that often those puzzles are made by artist Aimee Stewart. Her puzzle artwork is by far some of my favorite. The Reader’s Paradise puzzle from White Mountain has its share of challenging areas for sure. It’s a great puzzle to relax to. It’s fun to put on your favorite music and sit down and enjoy a pleasant puzzling experience!

It’s a Good Time For a Magnifying Glass

I made heavy use of my magnifying glass when putting together this Reader’s Paradise puzzle from White Mountain. The colors alone weren’t enough to distinguish many of the books.

There’s a bit of brown in this puzzle. That definitely added to the challenge. As did the white and more, the balusters. There are lots of great details in this puzzle. Fun things. You get that with Aimee Stewart‘s puzzles and that’s what makes them so great!
