Baby, It’s Cold Outside

Baby, It’s Cold Outside is a 1000-piece puzzle from New York Puzzle Company, and the artist is Ana Juan. I got this one several months ago and was holding onto it until wintertime. It is a random-cut puzzle, which have traditionally been my least favorite to do, but I found this one to be more enjoyable than I expected. I think I must be getting used to the random-cut style because I am considering getting more of them.

I just love this image with all of the adorable dogs dressed up for the cold. I love their outfits and their expressions/personalities. Which one is your favorite?

Holiday Drive In

Holiday Drive In is a 1000-piece puzzle from Cobble Hill, and the artist is Diane Dempsey. I love the mid-century modern theme of this image, with the vintage cars and the fun signage. My favorite parts to put together were the movie screen and all of the signs – I love puzzling words!

I have done a couple other puzzles from this artist and really enjoy her style. Cobble Hill is a really good quality brand that does random-cut puzzles. I tend to do more ribbon or grid cut puzzles, but the random cut didn’t bother me with this one because it was such a great image.

Have you ever been to a drive in movie? I have fond memories of going with my family as a child and playing on the little playground beneath the screen before the movie started.

Stay Cozy

Stay Cozy is a 1000-piece puzzle from New York Puzzle Company, and the artist is Lore Pemberton. One of my favorite things to do is to get cozy in bed with a good book, so this charming image really drew me in. This was my first experience with New York Puzzle Company. I have bought a couple, so I figured it would be a good idea to try one out to see how I liked it.

The puzzle is very high quality, with a nice matte finish to the pieces. It is a random cut puzzle, which definitely makes it harder than other puzzles. Random cut is not my preference because of how difficult it can be, but it does increase the satisfaction level when I finish, so it’s not always a bad thing!
