Mimi's Puzzles

Not sure what inspired her enthusiasm for puzzles lately, but it's been a constant since school let out.

I wanna Shasta!

This was a total impulse buy.  

But I thought we had bad weather moving in, so we'd need something to do to stop from going crazy.  But... then it's been amazing outside, so I thought this would never get finished.  But... it was one of the quickest puzzles yet!  And so funny to look up old soda commercials on the internet.  

1058 and All the Puzzles

That's how many blog posts I've done over the past 13 years. Just saying.

We've put together, shared, loaned, mailed, gifted and been gifted so many puzzles the last few months, it's been fun to keep track. 

Washington D.C. puzzle in January, pre-pandemic.

Mimi got her very own Suffragists puzzle for her birthday in February.  I had to hold back from working on it while she was at school!  

When the lock down hit, Mimi found a few puzzles to do on her own. 

These are a couple of space ones from Nana. 

My sister got me this as an early birthday present.   Very cute. 

Yoda got this one for Valentine's Day, but didn't put it together until lock down.  Then he decided to flip it.  So silly.

By May it felt like we'd never get to go anywhere, so we started doing quite a few puzzles.  Here's our 2000 piece that we usually keep to do over New Years break. 

I got this cute, boat one for myself for Mother's day.  

Mimi and Greg picked out our new hardest one for my birthday, it was beautiful but very difficult!  Van Gogh's Starry Night.  We started it on my birthday and didn't finish until the next month.  

Then we needed a classic, quilts on a summer day, ahhhh... (this was a birthday present from my sister either last year or the year before.)

 

I used some of my birthday cash to get this puzzle of Fallingwater.  It's double sided and Yoda couldn't help himself, he flipped it over and over again! 

 

Greg got me this puzzle for my birthday as well.  It's got all sorts of our favorite things: quilts, s'mores, snowshoes (we did that once a million years ago, it stuck with us), hot cocoa....

Now that the kiddos are busy with remote school at home I don't know what to do with myself.  I can't really get into cooking, cleaning or a project, because of the noise.  Or because if I do, someone will likely need my help, usually there's something wrong with the computer or something.  So I got myself a new puzzle to do when I need to keep myself quiet, but busy.  Mimi jumped right in.  She loves camping, stars and learning about astrology lately.
