Finally got started today, didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped. Mowgli is done except for his hair, all the pink flowers are done, and Baloo and Bagheera both have their faces.
I had a horrible day and wasn’t able to work on it in the afternoon or evening at all. Here’s hoping tomorrow is a better day.
Section number 4 complete! It didn’t take long at all today, there weren’t many pieces left. I’m so proud of myself, this section was difficult!
So 15 days for this puzzle, not too shabby. It was a nice change after finishing Dumbo to have 4 larger characters to assemble instead of one huge character. The filmstrip is always fun, and because this is a corner there was twice as much filmstrip to assemble. This section was a challenge, but I still enjoyed it very much.
So, onto the next section – The Jungle Book. There’s a lot of green, but it’ll be a nice change from all the blue. 🙂 It won’t be a walk in the park either, but I still plan on having a great time assembling it. Besides, this one is my favorite Disney movie and I LOVE the music from it. It’ll be fun listening to the soundtrack while I work.
There are lots of plants and water, little splashes of color with the flowers, a very large rock and of course Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera. A beautiful image and I’m very excited to get going on it. And when The Jungle Book is complete I will be halfway done! WOW!
It’s almost there! I only have one row to finish on the right side and 2 rows on the top!
It always seems to go much faster near the end, there are less pieces to choose from and it’s much easier to match up shades of color and shapes. I’ll finish tomorrow, I’m super excited!
I was completely wrong when I thought that I’d want to take a break in between sections, because all I want to do is immediately get going on the next one! .I’ve already pulled the bag of pieces for the next section. Once I finish tomorrow I’ll probably get going right away on sorting if I’m feeling up to it.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s picture of the completed Peter Pan section! 🙂 I will do my best to take a good picture with no glare.
I’m looking at all the darkness and clouds and can’t believe I’ve done all that. Not much more to go, so it’s gonna be finished in the next 2 or 3 days depending on how I’m feeling and if I get any assistance. Mom will have to come over in the next day or so to put at least one piece in, it’s become our tradition! Shouldn’t be a problem though, since I’m dog sitting tomorrow for her, she’ll be over to drop off her little guy.
Tomorrow begins the twinklies. This section seems to have the twinklies a little farther down into the puzzle. It may be that way for all the sections on the bottom, I’m not sure yet – the first 3 sections I completed were on the top half of the puzzle. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not finding the pieces I’m looking for because they most likely have stars on them and are in the last container of pieces. So tomorrow I’ll separate them and begin the final countdown. I’m excited to get it finished!
More filling in today. There are about 900 pieces left to go! I may be able to have this section finished by Monday or Tuesday of next week. Maybe sooner if hubby sees how close I am and wants to help at the end. 😉
Plenty of blue left to go, then it’s on to the twinklies. Still having a good time, and I am actually not frustrated at all. Maybe it’s because I like the whole puzzle and am excited to be working towards completion. Or maybe I’m just a jigsaw junkie who is addicted to puzzles. Perhaps both!
I saw today that someone has already finished this puzzle. In 2 months! I feel like a slacker. 😐 But I can only do what I can do, and it’s not a competition. I’m doing this because I want to accomplish it, and because it’s fun – not because I want to be the first or the fastest. Lord knows I am definitely not the fastest! I’m doing what I can do, even if I can only work on the puzzle for 10 minutes at a time. Congrats to the lady who has finished it already though. Way to go!
