Glorious Morning by Jane Maday – E&L Corp. – 250 pieces
This beautiful image is unfortunately attached to a puzzle of very poor quality – but I enjoyed assembling it anyways. Things don’t always have to be perfect; in fact, if they were things would get boring pretty quickly.
It’s been a while since I’ve done an E&L puzzle, and the quality of this one reminded me why that was. Thin pieces, sloppy fit, and shiny finish – these are puzzles I usually pass right on by. It was a thrift store puzzle given to me by a friend though, which is why I wanted to assemble it.
It was such a small puzzle (14 x 10 inches) that I just put all the pieces on the board. I tried to just put them wherever, but the OCD kicked in and I ended up laying them out neatly in rows – couldn’t help myself! 🤷♀️
I started with the four birds and then started filling in the birdhouses and flowers. It wasn’t an easy puzzle, but was still fun. The missing piece was a little disappointing, but it’s par for the course sometimes. Thrift store puzzles come with a bit of risk, but usually the ones I find are complete. When they’re not, it isn’t too much of a problem; the task is to put together all the pieces you have, and I completed my task.
I’ve done quite a few puzzles with artwork by Jane Maday; they’re usually outdoors with birds and flowers and they’re always entertaining to put together. Despite the quality issues it was still fun – in fact I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would. 🐦❤

Really cute image. Too bad on the quality.

I’m glad you enjoyed your flowers and bird puzzle. I love Heavenly Blue morning glories, and if this had been a better quality puzzle, I’d have been inclined to buy it. -Di

I know what you mean, but sometimes even the poor quality thrift store puzzles can be great fun to put together. This one was. 😎

I wish I had the patience to lay out the pieces neatly like that, but I can live with my chaos 🙂

And I wish I could just enjoy the puzzle regardless of the chaos. LOL The struggle is real!

I was nodding in comprehension of your pieces neatly laid out in rows, as it’s my wont to do the same thing, albeit mine are arranged in large trays I then stack (due to my space limitations). -Di

Mine are usually laid out on my cookie sheets, but as there were only 250 pieces I decided to just put them on the board.
