Of course I’m working on puzzles, I can’t sew and knit all the time. I have a book of crosswords, it’s not great but I am concerned that I’ll finish it before the lockdown is over. Oy, the problems!
I bought this back at Christmas time, at Marshalls, or a store like that. You can clearly see why I bought it, can’t turn down a quilt. Once the shelter at home started, I pulled it out, I knew this one would be pretty easy.
It was, and there is my son, coming to work here so he can work in peace. Then I boxed it up and sent it off to my middle son. They love doing puzzles as well.
Right before Amazon stopped shipping non essentials I managed to get this. Once again, you wonder why I chose this one? They did have another one of those impossible Van Gogh’s, no thanks, these days it can’t be all that hard.
As well as this one.
The most boring part is sorting the pieces by color, but in the long run, it makes putting the puzzle together much easier. While doing the sorting I keep all the edge pieces out and start there. Well, I try to keep all the edge pieces out, some always get lost in the mix, I have never had the problem of not finding edge pieces.
I didn’t take a lot of ‘during’ pictures, you all get the idea. This was relatively easy, there is a lot of interest, another thing is that these are irregular puzzle pieces, that makes it much easier. often I can look and see the irregular shape that is missing and then find it in the color family box. You can see how there are holes all over, the more I do, the easier it is to fill those holes.
Done!!!
Not only do I not ‘modpodge’ puzzles, within minutes of finishing this, I disassembled, put in the box, and off to the post office to send to my son. I’ll start the other one very soon. A neighbor mentioned that our wonderful craft Store Kit Kraft has puzzles. I just placed an order for two more, this is going to go on for at least another month.
