I love to do jigsaw
puzzles. Every year for Christmas, Dad
would get at least one puzzle, and we’d spend the winter completing puzzles.
After he passed
away, I kept doing puzzles during the winter till I decided that I loved doing
them so much that I would do puzzles year-round. Since then, I’ve always had a puzzle on the
go, and every day I put in at least one piece - on good days I get a whole
section or two completed.
So far this year, I’ve
completed a 3,000 piece puzzle that was missing all the edge pieces (except one!)
and some interior pieces too! I also
completed a lovely 1,000 piece country kitchen scene and a 1,000 piece shamrock-shaped
puzzle - shaped ones are some of my favourites.
Currently, I’m working on a puzzle that I was told was “impossible.” Personally I have never found any jigsaw puzzle to be impossible to finish, though I may find it extremely challenging. I just started this one, but feel confident that I’ll have it done by the time you are reading this.
