Only a few puzzles to share this update. This hobby has taken a back seat for the last year or so while other creative pursuits have captured my attention and bank account.

First up, a puzzle I had made by a local puzzle company from a photo I took of a large mural on the side of Portland business circa 2021 and cropped to make the image more dense. I love how bright the colors came out.

This second one was a Portland Puzzle Exchange find and I’m sorry to say I don’t know the brand and I don’t remember the piece count. I do, however, remember that it was a pain in the ass to put together because so many of the solid-colored pieces seemed interchangeable until you realized they’re not.

Obsessed with this puzzle, which I found via Twitter when its creator announced the launch of her online puzzle shop. The title is so perfect.

Another Portland Puzzle Exchange find.

Look how cute and fun this one is!! I found it at Always Here Bookstore while visiting the mutual aid lockers. I accidentally ordered photos of the wrong size for this one, which: oops. I was very annoyed with myself about this—I’d delayed placing my order for many months until I had enough photos in my cart to make the shipping feel worth it. Oh well. The good news is, I can just order the correct size the next time I place a Persnickety order.
