mary.mcdowell66@gmail.com | 972 567 9365My name is Mary McDowell, and I am the loving grandmother to 2 amazing, rambunctious, busy, sweet little girls (and another grand on the way) who call me NONIE. They are truly the inspiration behind why I started making wooden puzzles and toys. I have always had a passion for woodworking because it was one of my father’s hobbies – crafting and sewing was my mother’s hobby – so it makes me feel very close to them since they passed. I love doing puzzles and it still is a family favorite whenever we get together. My love for puzzles and woodworking has morphed into this newest hobby – making wooden jigsaw puzzles! I love being able to create puzzles from scratch and putting a whimsical spin on the pieces and really getting to make them unique. I use the image for inspiration to make my individually and crazy shaped pieces. No two pieces are the same when I make my puzzles since they are all hand cut using my scroll saw. No lasers or patterns are used when creating my puzzles – just good old fashioned hard work. I love putting my signature touch on each puzzle – I selected a bear because a stuffed bear is the first toy I got from my dad when I was little. Each puzzle has detailed information burned on to the back and my signature piece will have the puzzles number, my name, and the overall piece count on it. I also love creating custom heirloom puzzles from special photos that families can cherish time and time again. Thank you for your interest in my puzzles. I hope you enjoy them as much as I love creating them!!!
Mary
