About my ratings

Perhaps because of my day job, I'm a tough rater. Everything 3/5 and above I consider worth the time and money. If I purchase on Etsy or a similar platform and the puzzle is as expected, I will give a top rating on the platform because of how seller ratings work, but here "as expected" is probably a 3/5 in most cases.

Stars and Stripes, Teaser

Stave, didn't count the pieces. I gave myself the challenge of doing the interior first; it was fun. 6/10

A Salty Twist, MCG Puzzles

77 pieces. A new puzzle cutter for me.  Very similar to Puzzlemonk, I think--small, intricately cut pieces that are more challenging to put together than you'd think for the size.  5/5



Mill picture, Victory

800 pieces.  A nice Victory, would be useful for a group because there are defined areas that different people could work on.  3/5

Morning Romp, Stave

435 pieces.  A nice puzzle with the horses breaking the edge and some color line cutting in the interior.  Multipiece whimsies were the standout. 6/10

Look midright for the little horse inside the big one




Nieuport 27, J.P. Deneen

300 pieces, 3M. Who knew 3M made puzzles? Interesting for the many shades of green.  3/5

Decorative Fowl Round a Lake With Ducks and Ducklings by a Reeded Bridge

Jan van Kessel, 308 pieces, Optimago.  Standard Optimago with lots of ducks.  3/5



Tulips by Robert John Thornton

497 pieces, Liberty.  This one has dancers in the bulbs of the tulips, which is cute.  3/5

The border had hidden clouds
