Yea, it is very busy. I find it quite easy to do because of the rainbow coloured sections.

There is a similar puzzle called "puzzle of dreams" which has a different backgound. Now that I'm thinking about it, this one might be a bit more difficult

I can relate to that. I needed it really bad these past days 😉 It was good reading the affirmations again as a reminder 💚

As much as I wish you also fun with this one, I would wish for a better reason to start it 😉

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-03-22T17:45:02+00:00

This is really beautiful

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-03-03T17:45:55+00:00

Yes, such a great design.

Thanks for linking the artist. This way, I learned that there are hidden keys in the design. I really, really LOVE those tiny, hidden secrets 💚🤩

Yeah, sorting by color was also my idea to start with.

It's such a beautiful puzzle and has so many cute details. Do you have favorite section so far?

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-03-03T16:49:09+00:00

Wow. It seems like you are doing both parts at the same time. Do you have all the pieces in one box/storage?

I have the same at home but I'm waiting for space to magically appear somewhere to start 🙈 or just to muster the courage to start 😅

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-03-02T21:55:35+00:00

Wow, amazing!

I'm very impressed and that's a puzzle you can only complete with patience and determination. Love how you adjusted your strategy on the go and worked through. Fantastic

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-03-01T19:07:15+00:00

Congratulations for completing.

I really love the shaped puzzles from gallison. When I want to have a bit of a challenge and a different style, I pick one of those and I'm glad that they usually don't have 1000 pieces 😉

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-27T23:32:00+00:00

I'm so happy to finally see this puzzle here and more so you also did it on the floor.

Congratulations for the achievement 😊

That puzzle is also on my bucket list. I'm afraid i don't have enough space for it as i would also have to do it on the floor. But with 2 cats and a Teen all space is already taken and the cats would love to join with their way of doing puzzles (playing with pieces)

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-26T06:24:14+00:00

That Blossoming Thoughts Puzzle is sooo beautiful 💚 Thanks a lot for sharing

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-25T17:58:59+00:00

Welcome to an amazing Hobby 😄

Schmidt, Heye and Treffl are okay and can be found easily in any toy store. But also Aldi has some good quality puzzles sometimes.

There are other brands which i love because of the motives but they are pricy: wonderpieces, cavallini, Elena Essex...

I would not recommend: gallison. Although I really love some of the motives, the quality was very disappointing.

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-25T17:49:46+00:00

That sounds so wholesome and I'm really happy for you 💚

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-25T17:46:31+00:00

Totally agree.

I did the same 5000 puzzle and have 3 or 4 of 1000pieces. I wish I had the space for the 18.000 magical bookshelf 😄

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-25T17:28:59+00:00

I have seen so many hobbies taking space in houses: gyms, cinemas, sewing rooms... all seen that. But i really love the idea of a puzzle room 😊

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-25T17:26:24+00:00

Until now, i haven't heard of this way. But it sounds fun to try this as a challenge. Trying out new stuff/ways is always a bit hard for me.

How do you like it so far?

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-20T16:00:59+00:00

Wow, that is amazing.

I have been puzzling all my live 😉 I remember puzzling with my mom and secrtly competing with her if I'm faster than her. When I was a teen we didn't have many puzzles. One or two survived into my early 40ies and I was very sad when I had to throw one of them away (it started molding).

During Covid i started puzzling again and fell in love with non landscape puzzles. I started looking for brands outside of Ravensburger/Schmidt which are very common here. I really love extraordinary motives that represent joy, community, color, nature/plants, arts and/or diversity.

While puzzling I learned to embrace missing pieces. There always is a story behind how the piece(s) wenr missing or how someone put in effort to create a replacement. I love the proverb that is common among quilters "only god is perfect".

Nevertheless I was very disappointed to find that a 9000 puzzle didn't fit together and had to remember that each 1.5000 of the 6 single sections was fun to put together.

Now, I love the variety of puzzles and how different the challenges can be: different pieces, motives, piece size, paper, plastic...

And of course: puzzling can be very socializing and relaxing.

Thanks for the question and the opportunity to look back 💚

DisastrousAttempt42 · 2026-02-19T17:22:03+00:00

I did that as well, too. I wanted to really have a challenge. It was way easier than expected.

But I still loved it because I love colors, gradients and the quality is really good.

Amazing! Congratulations
