Hey Everybody! My first Craft Show of 2026 is this weekend at Lake Winnipesaukee, and the weather forecast is PERFECT! I haven't been making as many puzzles as I'd like, but I've been making improvements to my booth. It's still quite a ways from my finished vision, but it'll set up at the Lakes Region Spring Craft Fair in Tilton, NH on Saturday from 10 to 5 and Sunday from 10 to 4. Drop by!

I still have some puzzles on hand, and there is time to fill orders for the holidays. My Small and Medium puzzles make GREAT stocking stuffers, and my XXL puzzle is a fantastic group activity to keep everyone focused on the same relaxation for a few hours. Here's a photo of my newest XXL puzzle (ExtremeTweakedTab style + Whimsy):

Here are some custom puzzles I did in September. They're two-tone cherry and maple, and that's the silhouette of Haystack Mt. with the Adirondacks in the background. And a totem that went to the top of all 46 is in one of the puzzles.

Had a fun weekend in Rutland with some gusts of wind that proved the sturdiness of my booth. But that will probably be my last outdoor Art show of 2025. However, some of my booth will get set up on Thursday indoors at the Champlain Valley Fairgounds in Essex Junction for what I expect to be a busy three days. Come check out my "something new in jigsaw puzzles" on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday!

I'll be setting up the full booth in Rutland for their outdoor-rain-or-shine-for-two-days Art in the Park Fall Foliage Festival on October 11 &12. I'm hoping for clear skies and sunshine, but if it's chilly and/or wet, my tent will be the place to be! The pic below is from the rainy day we weathered in Poultney a few weeks back. https://members.rutlandvermont.com/events/details/64th-annual-art-in-the-park-fall-foliage-festival-9500

Since I've checked in here I've done a couple of good events, and even was visited by the fans who gave me the cool shirt! They gave me the shirt in Lake George, but came to see me and get a good pic in Northampton at the 3 County Fair. Genuine "Followers!" Thanks Aly and Anthony!

This weekend I'll be at the Marlboro Fair in VT -primarily teaching circus, but I'll have puzzles there for folks to try, and next week I'll be at Old Deerfield's 49th Fall Festival.

Stop by! Try a puzzle!

Aly Hayward! Thank you so much for the t-shirt. You guys really made my weekend. And I was so beside myself with your gift that I failed to get a pic with you, which I REALLY regret. I hoped you would show up on Sunday so I could pose with you both while wearing the shirt in front of my booth. I hope you enjoy the puzzle - please leave a review if you're so inclined!

I just enjoyed a fun weekend in Lake George with a wet ending. But look at how my booth is shaping up! HIgh points of the weekend were discovering that I was chatting with a neighbor I hadn't seen in 30 years... 40 minutes into the conversation. Also getting to see a former circus mom and student from New Hampshire. But I've gotta say the coolest thing for me, the puzzlemaker, was when a couple who hadn't been hanging out at the front of the booth, so I hadn't met them, came up and gave me a T-shirt they had made for me in one of the shops that day. It's a black T-shirt with bold gold letters proclaiming, "FITS TOGETHER LIKE A WARM KNIFE THROUGH BUTTER"

So cool! I failed miserably in my social-media promotions by not getting a pic with them before they drifted back into the crowd, but a HUGE thanks to them for making it so I no longer have to worry about what to wear at the booth!

This weekend come see me at the Bondville Fair right around the mountain from South Wardsboro in Jamaica, VT. It's a great little fair with all the goodies of a big fair, but still feels small. The Bondville Fair starts Friday the 22nd and ends Sunday the 24th.... next weekend I'll be at the 3-county Fair in Massachusetts from Aug 29-31. The Bondville Fair
