Today – Whales! Because people keep reblogging that thing about the biggest great white shark and I had two aquatic puzzles to choose from.

Picture two is the point where all of the remaining pieces were ‘shades of the same kind of blue with undefined edges’. It took just as long to place those last hundred or so pieces as it did all the previous ones.

Maybe about seven or eight hours for the whole thing? I didn’t really time it.

Since the Manhattan puzzle was so awesome, I hit up the bigger Target today and bought the eight puzzles they had that I hadn’t already bought. Highlights include a Bourbon Street and a San Fransico puzzle by the same artist that did the Manhattan one! So I now have ten puzzles, all 500 pieces, all small enough to do on the piano stool while sitting on my sofa, all $1 each.

Also, I’d liked a Beanie Boos plushie at the other Target, but thought it was too large to be practical to carry around with me. It was a rainbow cat. This Target had a whole shelf full of this brand of plush, some larger, like the cat, some smaller. They didn’t have the cat in the smaller size, but they did have this owl which I immediately fell in love with and didn’t want to put down. He’s so soft, even the glittery bits, and I couldn’t stop rubbing him against my face the whole way to the checkouts. Oh, and according to his tag, his name is Oscar. He was $7.

Enjoyed myself. Though it’s a 500 piece puzzle, the pieces are small which means the whole thing fits just right on one of the piano stools. Challenging, but not too challenging that I got discouraged. Took me yesterday evening and a couple of hours this morning.
