Une Journée Cosy

Une Journée Cosy is a 1000-piece puzzle from Pieces & Peace, and the artist is Sonia Cavallini. This is my third puzzle from this French brand, and I still have three more in my stash! 

I love the quality of these puzzles, especially the smooth matte finish. The fit is crumbly, so sections don’t move around easily, but there are no false fits (probably my biggest pet peeve when it comes to puzzles).

I also adore the artwork. The idea of a cozy day spent reading in bed with your pets relaxing all around you is so inviting. Also, there are so many fun colors and patterns in the image that make it a joy to build.

Fall Festival

Fall Festival is a 1000-piece puzzle from Pieces & Peace, and the artist is Abby Jacobs. This is a French brand I tried for the first time earlier this year and loved, so I was happy to be able to get some more from them.

I originally had this on my shelf to do sometime this fall, but then someone else posted it on Instagram and I realized it actually had Halloween elements in it. So I pulled it out to do at the end of October. I finished it Halloween night, which I was happy about.

I love the fall vibes with the colorful trees and cozy market stalls. But my favorite part is the kids in their Halloween costumes all lined up for the costume contest.

London Cafe

London Cafe is a 1000-piece puzzle from Pieces & Peace, and the artist is Miranda Sofroniou. This was my first experience with the Pieces & Peace brand, and I absolutely loved it! I was so happy to open the box and see grid cut pieces, which are my favorite, and the pieces had a great feel and fit.

The image was amazing as well. It was challenging but not frustrating, if you know what I mean. I definitely want to do more from this brand!

P.S. One of my friends on Facebook asked what grid cut was, and this is what I told him.

It means the pieces are cut in rows rather than random shapes and they have an assortment of in and outs. Ribbon cut is when the pieces are in rows but all of them have two ins and two outs. Ribbon cut puzzles are more likely to have false fits, where a piece seems to fit somewhere that it doesn’t actually go. With grid cut you can sort by shape (meaning the different arrangement of prongs) if you get stuck and then look for the shape you need to make it easier to find the piece you need. I did that for the floor in this puzzle.
