I know, not a great picture, lots of glare. But it does have the entire puzzle in the picture, which has not always been the case. 🙂

This section is going relatively quickly. I seem to have to take more breaks this week, but when I am able to sit down and work on it, it’s going well. I got as much of the light brown done as I can for the moment, and I just sorted a bunch of the white foam. I hope to be able to get a bit of the waves/foam done on the right side of the puzzle tomorrow.

I’m not sure if it’s going to continue to go well, or if it’s going to slow down and take more time. I look at the pieces that are left, and they’re all kind of similar and I have no idea where to go next. But I’m going to just keep plugging away, I will get there eventually.

I didn’t add onto the twinklies today, even though I have a bit more to add if I can find where they go. I mainly worked on Mickey, and once he was done I did part of the stone he is standing on and the stairs beside him. It doesn’t look like much, but it’s a start.

I was surprised I had pulled almost all of the pieces for Mickey except for his hat and three missing pieces from his hands.  I didn’t think I’d have that many! Assembling him went very quickly this morning and then I worked here and there throughout the day with the light blue of the rock and the dark and light browns of the stairs.

Putting together Mickey actually had me looking forward to the next 3 sections, because there are large characters and blocks of color that will be fun to assemble – like Mickey was this morning! All I have to do now is get through this section. Lots of sprays of water, foam, and swirls of magic. I can do it!

Not bad! Although I have to tell you that I cheated a little bit. I couldn’t sleep much last night, so I was up late working on the puzzle after I had already posted. Whatever, there are no rules here, it’s puzzle anarchy!!

I was more careful this time about sorting the twinklies, and as you can see I have much more of them done than on the Little Mermaid section. I still have some left over! There’s something nice about having a frame around the puzzle, it’s soothing to my OCD I think. I’ve always done puzzles by doing the edge first and so I feel better having an “edge”.

Tomorrow I’ll work on Mickey, but that won’t take too long because I don’t have very many pieces for him sorted. I’m not sure if I’ll move on to something else once I’m done with those or if I’ll sift through some containers of pieces looking for ones I missed the first time. Depends. Tune in tomorrow to find out!
