Another jigsaw puzzle completed. This one was 500 pieces and made by the French company, Maison Joliette. They use minimal packaging, with the pieces sitting in a bag instead of a cardboard box. I enjoyed this puzzle and would do another of theirs. š§©

I love doing puzzles. One thing that never fails to happen to me when I’m doing a puzzle is time spent on one area, one particular pattern. I’ll spend time looking for pieces connected with that area, successfully fitting some together, but never them all. And so the search continues for those elusive pieces.
My grandson has suddenly taken a keen interest in jigsaw puzzles, so I brought up this one that I had at home to do with him. He was doing well with it, but in the end it proved that little too advanced for him. I went ahead and finished it anyway. š§©
This jigsaw puzzle was very satisfying to do, and the collage of images looks better in the completed puzzle than the image on the box. Some fun, whimsical pieces in there as well. š§©
Iām in the middle of doing this jigsaw puzzle showing a collage of various traditional British pub exteriors and signage. A puzzle that my mother gave to me. I love doing puzzles. The process relaxes me. Doing this one Iām finding is also making me homesick. There is nothing like a British pub and I am no longer around them. I miss them. š§©
That was not easy, but a good challenge. A 500 piece jigsaw puzzle of rocks, a Christmas present that I have slowly worked on, a few pieces each day. š§©
280 piece puzzle completed. Portuguese tiles. š§©
The mystery of jigsaw puzzles. I have a group of pieces that I stare at for days, convinced that I still have to find one or two pieces that will bring them all together. Then one day I sit down and, click, click, click, they all come together. No other pieces needed. š§©š¤·š¼āāļø
This was not a large puzzle, both in physical size and in terms of number of pieces - one hundred - and subsequently did not take long to finish. The puzzle was not a big challenge. No, what drew me to it was the striking depiction of a Japanese Macaque. š§©

Now this 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle was a challenge. Satisfying to finish, to put in that last piece, but a challenge. š§©

I just completed this jigsaw puzzle of Sea Anemones. My first for a long time. It was difficult because the puzzle was not made up of regular shapes. Even some of the edges were not clear. But it was fun to do. š§©
