"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

National Puzzle Day!

It was a cold and snowy day here in Maine....and I didn't leave the condo. But Paul forged out for an afternoon walk even though wind chills were below zero.

I knew January was National Puzzle month....but I just learned that today is actually National Puzzle Day! 

It seems there's a day for almost everything....even "nothing."  When I was researching National Puzzle Day....I found "National Nothing Day".....and I laughed out loud!  

A day we "can just sit without celebrating, observing or honoring anything."

But because it's National Puzzle Day it today seemed like a good day to catch up on my puzzle news. Every day is puzzle day in my house.

You all know I'm a big 5ftinf fan.  Phillipa has been a huge influence in my life and I love supporting her art.  So I subscribed to her puzzle club!  Yes...that's a thing too.  
I'll get 6 puzzles over this next year....some of them will also be in her shop....and others will be exclusive to the club.  The first one came a few days ago....and I couldn't be more excited. I LOVE stamps....and Philippa's British stamp collection is fun!


I have six box tops of pieces ready to go....and the colors are fabulous!
I'm going to work from the top down...putting the border together as I go.  A blizzardy day was perfect timing to get started during my breakfast.


Can I pause and say how much I love these plates!  They were Connie's....and even though they have a holiday feel...I use them year round. They are a smallish plate...so perfect for breakfast or a little lunch.
And this explosion of color was finished on Margie's board when I visited a few days ago....and it's in the wings for me! It looks like fun! Happy National Puzzle Day!
