….no it’s not a new painting or anything art related for that matter
Many moons ago I used to enjoy working on jigsaw puzzles. Over the years my youngest sister has kept up the tradition of putting together puzzles and lately my daughter and daughter-in-law have taken an interest in jigsaws. They brought a puzzle of the moon this past summer up to the cottage which turned out to be pretty much impossible to assemble.
We have a games store in our neighbourhood so I decided to try and help them stay in business and I purchased a 1000 piece puzzle and a mat. In the meantime Andrea and Josie have purchased more puzzles and we’ll probably swap when I finish this one. Kevin started the puzzle with me by finding all the end pieces but I’ve pretty much put it together so far on my own. I have to admit that it is pretty addictive and I have to pull myself away just to get to bed before 2:30 in the morning. Luckily I have not where to go so I can sleep in.
Here’s my progress so far.
I was also addicted to puzzles. I think I finished a 1000 piece in about three hours once. I would do the same thing though, stay focused on it for hours. I haven’t done one in a long time, but seeing yours is making my interest peak!

Seeing the one that my daughter and daughter-in-law finished renewed my interest. Luckily the neighbourhood game store had some nice ones to choose from.

I looked yesterday for a good puzzle. They got expensive! Wow, I will definitely have to check Amazon or something.

The store where I bought mine had pretty good prices. I think I paid about $24.00 for this one.

My sister is the same but I have to say that I’m not sure she could have completed the moon puzzle.

Mine would have, she’s a wiz. Not me, I hate puzzles.

I just spent the last three hours on my puzzle. I need to take a break. I’m not getting anything else done.

It’s not too bad. There are so many different foods and objects that it is easy to isolate pieces by colour and shape.

I just finished one, it’s a perfect way to relax.

The only problem I have is that I’ve started this on my coffee table and I’m sitting on the floor. If I’m on the floor for too long I have a hard time getting up again.
