This one is going quite slowly, but it’s a combination of things that’s making it take so very long. It has nothing to do with the quality or the amount of fun I’m having with the assembly; it’s mostly about how I’ve been feeling and the location of the board I’m working on.
Since it’s 2000 pieces it has to be done on a larger board, and my 3 x 4 foot puzzle board is currently occupied with the Mystery Puzzle. I borrowed mom’s board of the same size but it’s on the floor in my bedroom and that’s really the only place I can work on it. It’s not easy for me to get down on the floor to work on it (and getting up is no picnic either), so the time I can spend on this puzzle is limited at best.
If someone’s around to help, I could lift it onto my bed and work on it there; but even then I have to work sitting up with no support for my back and hips and the amount of time I can do that is pretty restrictive.
I’m 9 days into this assembly, still dealing with a cold/virus that doesn’t seem to want to go away, and a place to puzzle that isn’t very conducive to quick or efficient progress. Oh well. I make it a point to place a few pieces every day – no matter what. So although it may take me quite a while to finish it, I will definitely be completing it at some point in time. 🙂
I’ve gotten all the words together, and almost all the lines between the scenes done, so now it’s up to sorting and assembling each section. I love the look of it, the fantastic Ravensburger quality, and in general am having a great time! ❤
You have determination, girl! The mystery puzzle would have put me over the edge. *AND*, to also be putting together a 2,000-piece puzzle. You’re a professional! Hope the pieces are enjoyable to work with, size and finish/coat. Take care of yourself, drink lots of fluids and get rid of that cold/virus. Hugs to you across the miles!

In many collage puzzles I find the sections are a bit small, but this looks exactly right to me. Love it! Hope you’ll feel better soon, some viruses can be really stubborn.

Thank you my friend. This virus seems to like it here at my house and refuses to leave. LOL

Oooh, I really like this one too. Man, I am so behind on posting comments here. I think I’ve now commented on at least 5 posts that I glanced at and then never responded to….too busy this whole month! LOL
Anyway, this one is awesome looking too.
