Love for Holiday Baking is a 1000-piece heart-shaped, Christmas-themed puzzle from Callie Danielle. I got it at Target several months ago and have been holding onto it until now when it would fit the season.
My friend Suzanne came over one evening last week and this is the puzzle she chose to help with. She worked on the border, which is her favorite part, and I worked on some of the larger items pictured in the puzzle. Once I was on my own, I spent several evenings working on this puzzle.
Pros:
- Adorable image
- Fun heart shape
- Unique take on a holiday puzzle by focusing on baking related items
Cons:
- Very small, random-cut pieces
- Thin pieces were hard for me to pick up
- Extremely loose fit, came apart if bumped even slightly
I went on a journey with this one. Starting out, I felt hopeful that it would be pretty easy, but that quickly shifted into feeling overwhelmed. Once I got all of the larger items in the image put together, I sorted by shape and started working piece by piece. After a while, I started to make some progress on the big open spaces and felt better about the experience. As always, once it was finished, I felt a sense of accomplishment and appreciated how adorable this puzzle was.
I will admit that having done a few harder puzzles recently prompted me to go through my wish list and remove some that I thought might be on the harder side.
