CONGRATULATIONS !! Such fun. Thank you for sharing this. 🎉
Bjorn Wiinblad is loved in the United States too. I wish I could find his puzzles here.
It will be nice if you would show us at the beginning whole haul and keep it on the table. I feel lost about presentation - puzzle here, puzzle there...at the end I have no clue what I saw. But very beautiful puzzles. I like a lot puzzles from the only danish puzzle store. Lady owner has a great taste. ❤
That is a good idea, but with my setup I can't really do that. There's no table in front of me, only a daybed 😉. But I could film an overview of all the puzzles at the end of the video. I never thought about that, but I actually think I will do that going forward 😊. Do you think that would help you? Thank you for the idea 😁
Congratulations Nana 🏆
Congratulations, Nana. Great comments on your first competition experience. Thank you for sharing your speed puzzling strategy. Very insightful.
Thank you 😁. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Congratulations to you, Nana and your team. Enjoyed your video. ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much 😁
Congratulations ! I'm so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time at the Danish competition.
Thank you 😁
Oh, we spoke at the DM and I didn't realize I'd watched one of your videos! I'm the one from Queen Puzzlers who JUST didn't make it into the individual final. I watched your video on the puzzle shop in Elsinore. I went on a day trip later with a friend and bought a fancy dragon Paperblank puzzle, so thanks for the recommendation! I can definitely relate to what you said about not experimenting with technique that much. I only really got into a speed that I liked enough to start thinking more about experimenting about a week before the contest and that would have been a terrible time to try something really new 😂One thing I've found is that I'm definitely faster on licensed puzzles, partly because I can start building different places at once. That's something I want to practice with more regular puzzles as well, allowing myself to put any pieces I notice together, even if I'm technically working on a different part.
Hi again 😁. I'm glad I can inspire you to new puzzles 😉. Have you done the puzzle yet, and if yes, what did you think about it? I think the most difficult thing for me, will actually just be to try different tactics, and not just automatically revert back to what I'm used to 😆.
Puzzle earrings too.
Congratulations Anna on coming third in the pairs championship. It’s such a wonderful hobby. We are going to our first championship here in Australia just as spectators. We do enjoy chatting to fellow enthusiasts and looking at how speedy the competitors are. Great video. Warmest wishes from Melbourne Australia. Mark*Chris😄😎
Thank you 🤗. It's a great idea to go as spectators. That way you get to meet the puzzle community in person and feel the excitement, but without all the stress of competing. I hope you are going to have a great day 😁. Do you have many speed puzzling competitions in Australia?
@@a_puzzling_lamb Hi Nanna, yes we have each State Championship (Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland)plus the Australian nationals. The Australian Jigsaw Association are a vibrant organisation. At the local level there are puzzle get togethers usually at pubs. Virtual speed puzzling competitions, so to be honest we are very lucky. Thank you for the time you take to present we really appreciate it. M+C😄😎
Hey Nana! A big congrats again to you and your team! Those trophys are adorable!!!
Thank you so much 🤗
Congratulations!!! This was a great video and sounds like a fantastic competition ❤
Thank you 😁
It really was a fun event! And I was also super impressed by how well organized it was :D I did use the trade table, it was such a fun idea and I got a couple of fun puzzles through it. And I uh... I may or may not have purchased a smaller mountain of puzzles from the shop. How could you not with that selection to those prices! xD I only joined individual and was in group A too and got 3rd place, then 9th in the finals. So happy with those places! ^.^ I will most likely not join next year though, I'm not a social person and I'm definitely not a competitive person. That high energy, full of stress and anxiety got me so sick by the time I got home. I threw up twice before I could fall asleep and then felt sick most of Sunday. I will still continue to speed puzzle at home though! You just get in the zone in a way you just don't with regular puzzling. I love it. And I'm still considering joining an online competition, just to try that out. Maybe one day ^.^
It was indeed very difficult not to buy any puzzles, but I have just bought so many recently, that I knew I had to be good and resist 😉. Wow, that's some amazing placements, congratulations 👏🥳. I can definitely understand you. I'm not a very social person either and it took me about a week before I was back to my normal self 😆. What really helped for me, was that it was all about something I'm very passionate about. And also that I had my team members with me both days, so there were some people I already knew. I also really tried to constantly remind myself that it actually didn't really matter to me how I placed, but that I was there to have fun (but still trying my best of course 😉). The only thing I was really nervous about was getting to the final. I'm trying my first online competition on Thursday, and I have already signed up for two more 😁. It's exciting to see how different that experience is from a in person competition 😊
Congratulations 🎊 Nana and team! ♥ I really enjoyed this video! 😊
Thank you 😁. I'm so glad you did 😊
Well done! Thank you for your informative review.
Thank you 😁 I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊. Now I'm just really looking forward to participate in the Euro Jigsaw Jam, and I just had to register for more of them 😁
I am so happy for you and your team! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😁
25:31 omg, spy fam?? didn't imagine the anime poster being a hard puzzle, whoa.
I'm really looking forward to trying that puzzle, and see how it compares to the one I got in round A 😊
Yes it is called a ceramicist...and you pronounced it correctly 😊 I am going to get the cubby cats to try. I didn't know about it. Your time was excellent!
I also thought I knew, but then when I said it aloud it sounded wrong 😆.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I am so happy for you and the people who attended and participated and the organizers. Congrats Nana!🎉💙
Thank you 😁
You all did very well and can be pleased with your results. A really unique trophy and one to treasure. Some interesting images for the competition. Aaargh, Lupins but probably better as a pairs rather than an individual puzzle. I did that puzzle and it took me just over five hours to complete, difficult puzzle for me. I hope you do well with the Euro Jam competition and the puzzle will be one that you like.
Thank you 😁. I definitely have to find room on my shelf for the trophy, so it can be seen in all my videos 😉. Lupins was indeed tough, and I'm really happy it came in the pairs and not the individual competition 😬. Thank you, I hope so too 🤞. I just also registered for the 22th July and the 21th August 😁
Well done Nana and team, fantastic performance
Thank you 😁. I'm still over the moon with my results 🥳
That was indeed an amazing (and creative) trophy! Congratulations!
Thank you 😁
I hope you enjoyed this video 😁. Wich of the competition puzzles would you most like to speed puzzle? Have you competed in any speed puzzling competitions and did you enjoy it? And remember to watch the Euro Jigsaw Jam livestream next Thursday the 27th June, where I'm competing for the first time 😊.
I went to the California championship and had a great time! Excited to watch the Worlds livstreams 😊
@@themopieIt was so much fun to see the Worlds livestream last year, I'm definitely doing that again 😁
great! thank you for sharing! Germany has no official national championship (except one from a puzzle club).
You got amazing times, so I think your strategy works very well! 🙂 Nice video, thank you Nana! ❤ Looking forward to the competition video! 🙂
All the Small Batch puzzles have the same cut with mirror pieces.
Haru Stories image looks to be based off of Spirited Away by Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli). Loved your puzzle haul. Thanks for sharing. ❤
I didn't think about that, but you are absolutely right 😊. I'm glad you enjoyed my video, and sorry it took me so long to reply 🙈
Lovely!
I think you have some very good times, considering you only had two months to train 😊👏 The Cheshire Cat took me over two hours 😵💫🫠 I will do that one again before world's as good practise for challenging puzzles.
Thank you 😁. I'm also really happy with my times. Yes, that Cheshire Cat was really, really challenging 😬. I definitely strugle with repeating patterns like that background, so that is something I also need to practise more.
Loved hearing about your experience trying all these puzzles. It seems to me you are doing very well.😊
Thank you 😁. I'm also really happy with my times. I hope I can get better, but I have basically just started to speed puzzle, and I think I have a good starting point 😊
I hope you enjoyed this video, and perhaps found it helpful if you also want to start speed puzzling 😁. What are your strategies when speed puzzling, have you perhaps done any of the puzzles I showed in this video, and what were your times? 😊
Warching this in June and loving the Christmas vibes!
Yup 👍 we’d buy the lot ha! If it wasn’t for posting to Oz🙁. Wentworth are fantastic.
Shipping costs can be really annoying 🙄. I very rarely buy anything from outside the EU, because I risk paying A LOT of VAT and import charges 😬
The idea of the passport is interesting. I just started my channel but giving each puzzle I make away is part of what I want to do. But if you really like a puzzle it would be hard to let it go. I'm creating custom small puzzles, so mine will be different. I like how you Dated the last piece. I seen someone else do that and have thought about doing that myself. ENjoyed.
A long time ago I saw someone write the date on the last puzzle piece (I don't remember who) and I have done it ever since 😊. I love the idea that the next person doing the puzzle will find the piece, and hopefully also write on their final piece 😊. I also once, when I did a puzzle for the second time, tried that it was the exact same final piece as the first time I did the puzzle 😮😁
That was fun thanks😊! Would love to see more!
I LOVE your earrings! 🧩💗
Thank you 😊🧩
Great video Nana, really enjoyed this one 👍
Thank you 😁. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
I hope you enjoyed this video 😁. I can definitely recommend Das Puzzle Kollektiv, and I'm also a big fan of their box holder! You can of course buy from their website, but you can also find the box holder at speedpuzzle.eu and I just got an affiliate link for their webshop. So if you want to support this channel, and are already planning to buy the box holder (or some of the other great puzzles on their site) please follow the link in the description. Thank you for your support 😁.
Woukd love to see a vid on the time of day puzzles and the different pyzzle with lobster and also the street photo of dahli. Thanks. Oh and the art snd fable! Please😊
I'm definitely considering reviewing Different Puzzles and the Dali puzzle 😔
I love every last one!🩵
Hi Nana, can you review one or any of the following Haru, Lost Walls and or Art and Fable. It’s a great puzzle haul, it’s also difficult here in Oz to get some of them but we are in Europe later in the year so here’s hoping😄.
I'm definitely considering reviewing Lost Walls and I won't rule out the others either 😁. Good luck finding puzzles when you come to Europe 🤞😊. It's always fun to hunt for puzzles when in another country. Yesterday I was on a day trip to Flensburg in Germany, only about one hour from my home, and I found a few puzzles I can't get in Denmark 😁
There's never a problem with to many puzzles. lol Well, maybe. Nice haul. ENjoyed
The biggest problem for me with to many puzzles are space... But it doesn't seem to stop me 😆
We have very similar taste in puzzles, but a lot of the puzzles in your video aren't sold locally 😭 I would still like to see your review of the Haru Stories puzzle, even though I will probably not own it anytime soon. I would love to see it completed! The next time I travel to Europe, I will be arriving with an empty suitcase so I can go puzzle shopping lol
I often feel the same when I watch other puzzle CZcamsrs. It's great to get inspired and see new puzzle, but also a little frustrating when it's puzzles that are not available to you 😔. I especially think there are a lot of interesting American brands I would love 🤩. Luckily more and more interesting brands have made their way to Denmark in the last couple of years, so I just hope that trend will continue 😊
Oh my gosh girl, I absolutely LOVE the puzzle at 5:25! So different and interesting! I was so excited to find it online, so I ordered that as well as the ravensburger at 6:50. You are so lucky to have found them secondhand!
For the longest time, I felt like I never found anything interesting secondhand, but lately I have really been lucky 😁
Quite an interesting haul you have there. I'm sure you will enjoy doing them. WH Smith is a stationers in the UK and they sell jigsaw puzzles amongst other items. I've done a good number of their jigsaws and the one thing that never seems to be on them is the year they were produced. Some puzzle companies include the year of manufacture, others don't. Not too hard I would have thought to add four numbers on the box. 🙂
That's great to know 😁. Do you remember if their puzzles are good quality? Yes, I wish more brands would put the year on the box! I always think it's interesting to know when a puzzle is from, even when it's a newer puzzle 😊
@@a_puzzling_lamb Smith's puzzle pieces are adequate but not in the league of Ravensburger. I've never had any problem with their jigsaws in the sense of bent or damaged pieces or being super thin. I guess it boils down to what your standards are for puzzles. Only by doing lots of different brands will you determine which ones you like and which you will avoid. 😊
You have some beautiful puzzles. 😊 After hearing your dog I'm curious about her. 🐾 🐶 I'd love to see her in one of your videos. ❤ I'm a dog and puzzle person. 😊 Looking forward to seeing your reviews. Happy Puzzling Nana!
Thank you 😁. I think so too 😉. You are the second person to ask to see her, so I'm probably going to show her soon 🐶. Her name is Alf (elf in Danish), she is a Bernedoodle (a mix between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a giant Poodle) and she is a little over 1½ years old. She is basically just a big ball of fur, she loves to run very fast, is very gentle and loves to snuggle. And of course I think she is the cutest and sweetest dog ever 🥰😉. Happy puzzling to you too 😁🧩
That global puzzle seems to be a little rare as the company is no longer in business. Nice find!
The Haru series is beautiful ❤
I say this a lot, but I really do think it's one of the most beautiful puzzles I have 🤩
Hi Ms Nana…..I just found your site and as I was watching something caught my attention ….actually it was my wife that saw it ….WHERE DID YOU GET THE EARRINGS….IF ITS FROM A LOCAL ARTIST IS IT POSSIBLE TO PURCHASE THEM
Hi 😊. I actually designed and made the earrings myself 😁. I make jewelry from Miyuki beads (Japanese glas beads), and sell them on Instagram, just as a hobby. My profile is @strand_perler . So yes, you can purchase them, but if you are not in Denmark, it is probably very expensive in shipping and possible import charges 😬. (You can also search 'brick stitch tutorial' on Pinterest and try to make your own 😉)
