It’s moving alone pretty well, got a lot done today in little bits here and there. Our fairy godmother is almost completely done and looking very cute, and most of the horse’s reins are done along with part of the horse! I didn’t spend any time on Cinderella herself, but her dress is going to be quite big. Godmother looks pretty big, but when you look at the picture of the whole section she is off to the side and behind Cinderella, who takes up almost half of the front section of the image. As you can see by comparing the images above and below I don’t have the completed pieces where they belong in the puzzle; for now they are where I need them to work comfortably. Once more is completed they will move towards their proper places.

I’m not sure where I’ll start working tomorrow, I guess it depends on which colors or pieces speak to me when I start working. I may start on the film reel if nothing else jumps out at me, but I also kind of want to save that till I’m feeling stuck or overwhelmed with what is left to do. I’m not sure if I want to start working on her dress yet, or if I should save that for when I get more of the background done. Basically this whole paragraph was me saying I have no idea where I go from here. 🙂

I overdid today, and hope I will be feeling well enough to spend lots of time working on it tomorrow. Here’s hoping! Once I get started I just want to keep going and make as much progress as possible. I did NOT enjoy my break time between finishing Snow White and beginning Cinderella, what I really wanted to was to start the next section immediately. Not sure if that will wear off after I have completed a few sections, or if each new movie cell brings just as much enthusiasm as the previous ones. Time will tell (and I’m looking forward to finding out).

I finally was able to get Snow White off the board and safely sandwiched between 2 large pieces of cardboard. She will be residing under my bed until we are ready to assemble the entire puzzle.

Therefore, I have finally begun the next section – Cinderella! I worked a little bit on trays this morning before I went to spend the day with my mom, and the rest of it I did this evening after my husband and I cleared off the board. It doesn’t look like much in the picture, but that is 250 pieces already assembled 🙂 All the flesh on everyone is done; the footman and the driver’s face and hands, the fairy godmother’s face and hands along with part of her cloak, and Cinderella’s face and chest. I was also able to put together most of the door and the spire on the coach, and some of the horse’s reins and harness. Not too shabby for the first day!

I’ve been wanting to get back to work on this, and I’m so glad I was finally able to. I actually feel better now that I’ve gotten going again. And unbelievably, I’m actually looking forward to assembling the film reel! It was intimidating when I saw how many pieces there were in Snow White’s reel, but I’m no longer intimidated and am eager to get it put together. I’m not sure when I’ll be starting that part, but I know I’ll be enjoying it once I do.

This is one of the sections that looks as if it will be more difficult than most, so hopefully it won’t take too much longer than the 20 days it took to finish the first section. Day 1 complete!
