Almost 2 Weeks of Entertaining + Being 6.5 Months Pregnant = Very Little Puzzle Progress

Almost 2 Weeks of Entertaining + Being 6.5 Months Pregnant = Very Little Puzzle Progress

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!

The Eagle Has Landed

The Eagle Has Landed

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…

Thankful for NBA Playoffs

Thankful for NBA Playoffs

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…

Balloons and Tigers and Rocks – OH MY!

Balloons and Tigers and Rocks – OH MY!

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…

Yet Another Change In Strategy

Yet Another Change In Strategy

I swear, by the time I get this monstrosity of a puzzle completed and mounted, I’m going to be a jigsaw puzzle mounting master!  I have changed and revised my strategy several times, and just when I think I’ve finally found the best solution, another obstacle presents itself. As I last posted, I was getting ready to put the contact paper down on the back of Section 1 so that I could easily move it off the main puzzling board…

Not Such A Bad Idea Afterall

Not Such A Bad Idea Afterall

I have to say that I’m now happy that I gave the clownfish a break and started working on some of the other fish and coral on the last 1/3rd of the puzzle because I have made some good progress. All the other fishes are either complete or mostly complete now, and some of the easier colors of coral are finished as well. I am posting a picture or two below to show the progress, although I have made even…
