Well after entertaining my in-laws from the Thursday before Mother’s Day until my nephew’s 2nd birthday party on May 19th, I am pleased to report that I’m DONE entertaining for a little while.  LOL  Well, until Memorial Day that is…when we are hosting a BBQ…LOL   It was a lot of fun having Mom and Dad here to visit, but it was two busy back-to-back weekends with the whole week in between and lots of parties and entertaining for the whole family.  I’m tired! Of…

Thankfully the NY Knicks getting through their first series in the NBA playoffs has allowed me a great opportunity to work on my puzzle a little more in the evening without having to neglect Randy in the process.  So, here’s to hoping that the Knicks continue on their winning streak in their next series against the Pacers so that I get even more puzzling time!  LOL  I got most of the wings done for the eagle (even more than the…

Since Randy wanted to watch the NBA playoffs last night I had an opportunity to spend more time working on the puzzle.  I love when I get to spend additional time with the puzzle that I wasn’t expecting.  I worked on the moon and got all but one or two of the pieces near the moon’s edge.  I put him into place in the sky.  The skyline is starting to come together pretty well between the balloons and now the moon…

Sorry I haven’t updated the blog in a little while, but for several days every time I went down to my puzzle room in the basement, I forgot to bring my camera with me so I couldn’t take the pictures while I was there working on it, and then of course Derek would be ready to wake up or something so I just never got around to taking any pictures until this morning.  I have made some good progress and…

Section 2 Officially Underway

Section 2 Officially Underway

Finally today, April 23, 2013, I feel like I have offiically started working on Section 2.  Prior to today I had done so little, most of which had to be redone when the borders fell off (a couple of times), that I really didn’t feel like I had made any real progress. Also, I had so many stop and go’s with starting to work on Section 2 because I was still trying to figure out what to do with Section 1…

I was able to work on the puzzle for a couple of hours last night which was great.  In that time, I was able to knock out the borders (top and bottom) and start on the tiger.  The first two pieces of Section 2 are officially “married”. Here’s a picture of all the border pieces laid out and separated by whether they were a top or a bottom border piece. I was initially missing two of the top border pieces,…

Even though it’s been almost 3 years since I last sorted 6,000 jigsaw pieces, it feels like only yesterday.  LOL  Amazingly enough, I am separating the pieces into much more detailed containers, yet it feels like it hasn’t taken me as long to sort through this section as it did the first one.  I guess because I am way more familiar with the pieces and some of the more subtle textures, I am more quickly and easily able to identify which…

100 or Less to Go!

100 or Less to Go!

I am about 100 or so pieces away from being done with Section 1!  I can hardly believe it.  I know I should be making a huge push to get those last 100 pieces finished, but boy have they been difficult.  I’m down to the pieces that are between the water line and the start of the clownfish and it all looks the same, and it’s all bluish…so there’s not even much color variation to help me out on this…
