All of my puzzles have been made with the “normal” pieces. I don’t mind doing some of those others, but the more pieces there are, the harder it is for my mind to adjust to how to manipulate them.
I have made a few rotated puzzles, but those are all tagged as such and are in a “rotation” folder under my puzzles. I have NOT made a rotated Twisted Limbs one. That would be called a “tornado”! :LOL:

I guess I should look at the original TL, it is the only one I have not done.
More to come, BBG… more to come. 😈
Referencing BBG’s latest puzzle…
Just spent some time wandering around Cana Island… 🙂 It’s been ages since we were there for real, and I think this is the year that we will spend some major time in Door County caching. Lots of pretty places to visit, and there are caches at or near most of them!
Sweet, Chatauqua! Say, did you ever identify that volunteer in your pretty garden spot from the other puzzle? I couldn’t recognize it from the pic.
We don’t always have to go after Thread Stealers’ creations. Here’s one I found on the puzzle site that reminded me of Birdin’:

Kitchen painted, splash guards on disposal changed, polished the stainless sink, I’m done for the day. Honeydew list complete.
This is the puzzle forum, WA, not the drivel forum… but since you are the prez, you may post anything anywhere you want to! :LOL:
Thanks to beccaday, I now have an even worse case of spring fever. 😕
I remember going to MOGA in central Illinois the first weekend of April last year and rejoicing in the fact that we could cache in the woods without wearing boots or wondering if we would have to dig to find the containers.
Does anyone remember what that is like anymore? Anyone? 🙄
Thanks for the touch of spring and whetting our appetites for the campout, Becca!
And the rest is history…
Very nice, BBG. The first one of these that I remember is the one in the Tunnel of Terror. I thought Mrs. Pirate had taken the shot of the three of you, but you informed me that you had set it up yourself… and that it was one of many that were taken to get it just right. :LOL:
But it’s a classic BBG pic pose now. Nice to have your own trademark shot.

Wow! Nice puzzle!
I’ll make one for any driveling jigsaw puzzler. Just let me know your special day. (If I remember right, Hack, yours will be quite a while from now..)

LOL Thanks for the puzzle Pat! Phil’s birthday is soon also.
You’re on your own as far has making sure that Phil has a good birthday, CTQ! :LOL: Besides… he’s in your puzzle.
Did you notice the Twisted Limbs cake in the puzzle? 😈For Chatauqua and others… by this link only:
I just finished the new puzzle that Birdin’ shared the link to, and it reminded me of another one of her puzzles that I was going to talk about here but forgot. It would be this puzzle:

This is an old Irish church along the River Road in Iowa. When there’s a burial in the churchyard, the graves are still dug the old way…by hand. It’s a community gathering with food prepared indoors to feed those working outside.
Wexford Church
What I wanted to talk about is the story behind one of my photos/puzzles/avatars… the Kansas sunflower pic. Last August we followed Trekkin’ and Birdin’ out to Colorado on our separate trips in our separate ways. We ran across the T&B signature in a couple of logs that we also signed, but we weren’t really on a caching trip, just a visit to Rocky Mountain NP with our two great-nephews by way of a couple of NFL stadiums. Having the boys along necessitated some changes in our usual travel habits, and many of our planned caches and stops got bypassed along the way.
I had remembered reading one of Birdin’s logs before we left about finding a virtual at a little church off the highway in Kansas, so I was planning to go for this cache that was close to I-70 somewhere between “The Atomic Cannon” and “Mingo”. Our time was running short by the time we got near, however, and it would be a long slow dusty drive on the unpaved road between exits, so the virtual was out. Birdin’ had mentioned in her log for this cache that they found sunflowers lining this road all along the way, and that’s what I really wanted to see.
We got off at the first exit, then drove a short way to the sunflower road, and right away we were treated to huge roadside bouquets of those wonderful flowers. We spent a few minutes there taking in the sights and taking photos, and then we made the short drive back to the 75 mph interstate to get to where we would be spending the night.
Out-of-the-way country churches and showy flowers… two great reasons to get off the main roads and explore a little. :sl:
Lots of new puzzles from everyone! It’s fun doing the ones from people I know, and a lot of the time I know a bit about the puzzle pictures themselves.
I’ve added a whole ton of new ones under my account, but here is one of a place that I know at least three of the TS jigsaw puzzlers besides myself have visited… jar42, Labrat, and ZB. And somewhere in that area is a waypoint (not my cache)… 😈
My portrait ones have always turned out vertical. I don’t know if it has to do with the dimensions, the ratio, or something else. The site did not seem to mind when I submitted one that was close to their size limits either. Maybe it’s how I submit them, which is nothing special… except it’s from a Mac. 😉
You can edit your puzzles after you submit them, so could you try different numbers of pieces or different cuts to see if that would have any effect? I know that Noonan and BigJim and Labrat have had some of theirs go sideways upon submission.
