Isn’t this the cutest and most adorable owl? I absolutely love it and had a ton of fun putting this together. It was not nearly as difficult as I feared it would be given the craziness of the image. I started with the yellow eyes first on this one as they were the most obvious standout pieces. It really came together pretty quickly and I was very pleased to see this Goodwill find was complete.
My kitchen is decorated with chefs. I have several sprinkled around the top of my cabinets, with a few plaques on the wall as well. I found this cute little 3-puzzle series and thought — wow, these will be perfect in my kitchen. They were a lot of fun to assemble. At only 300 pieces each they were easy to knock out. I especially love the expression on the chef who is proudly holding up the entire big salad bowl…
Wow, it has been a really long time since I posted, I know. As usual, my life gets in the way of my puzzling time, and my blogging time. The holidays are finally over, and what a whirlwind it has been. My in-laws were here for a visit, and we also celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary while they were here. A house full of company is a lot of fun is also very TIRING! LOL Randy and I are still…
Today I am happy to announce that “Penny’s Jigsaw Blog” will now be known as “Puzzle Momma” and has it’s own dedicated domain at www.puzzlemomma.com! But don’t worry, if you still have pennysjigsawblog.blogspot.com bookmarked for this blog you will be redirected to the new site. I am very excited about the recent changes to the blog. These changes are allowing me to expand the scope and focus of the blog from just jigsaw puzzles to a much more broad spectrum…
Over the last few weeks, you may have noticed some changes on the blog – alright, yes, unless you’re blind, you noticed. LOL For quite some time now (a couple of years at least), I have wanted to make the blog feel a little more “puzzle themed”. Unfortunately, I could never find a blogger template that looked like what I was envisioning in my head. I wanted it to look like the blog of a jigsaw puzzle enthusiast – not…
In the almost four years that I’ve been doing this blog, I have had the opportunity and pleasure to meet a lot of wonderful people from all over the world. It’s always so much fun to talk with others who share the same passion for jigsaw puzzles that I do, and it also almost always turns out that we have lots more than just jigsaw puzzles in common. About a year or so ago I “met” Lani who is from…
This page will focus on another hobby of mine – organizing. I love to organize things and take before / after pictures. Making things look nice and neat is a lot of fun and very rewarding. I will be on a mission this fall to get my house completely organized from the top down. Wish me luck, and follow along!
This page is where I will be posting recipes and sharing tips / techniques and instructions on some of the recipes that my husband and I love to make. We are both into cooking. As of right now, he is the main entree cook (I play sous chef), and I do all the baking and most of the breakfast type meals (he plays sous chef here when I need it).
