Puzzles- Two for Me, One for You

Here was my Christmas puzzle. 750 pieces, called "Kitten Diversion." I didn't finish it on the 25th because I ended up spending more time on family stuff, but that was fine. I completed it last night.

Also, Om had ordered this one for me, but it didn't arrive until today. It has nice wood pieces with very intricate cuts. If you look closely, you'll see pieces shaped like bees, fish, a dragonfly, and an octopus.

Some of these actually had faces cut into the converse.

This was supposed to be a very difficult puzzle. Um, well, Om said, "At least it took you longer than five minutes." No matter. It was a lot of fun just because it's so different. The swirly colors were intriguing, and I loved seeing how the animal shapes fit into the overall picture. Most of the interlocking places were little spirals. This has to be lasar cut, and although they look very much alike, of course, like almost any puzzle, there is only one match between a spiral and its spiral cutout. And what does it end up as? A beautiful psychedelic rabbit! The fact that it's a shaped puzzle was also interesting.

Also, just before Christmas, I did the one that Marie and I did at her friend Ellen's house. She gave that one to me. It was fun, but I'd done it too recently. I remembered where everything went, and that made it too easy. That one is linked below if you want to see it.

I seem to really be on a puzzle jag. How I'd really like to spend the evening is to go get out another puzzle!

Now, here's the puzzle for you. How did I spend the meaningful part of my day? (Apart from grocery shopping, errands, cleaning the kitchen from yesterday, blah, blah.) Here's your clue.

Puzzle or work? That's the next puzzle for the evening.
