So who’s working on what? Tell us all what fabulous puzzle you’re working on at the moment; or let us know if you found a great puzzle or image you’ve recently purchased.
I’m hoping I’ll be feeling up to having the computer in bed, and will be replying to everyone’s comments if at all possible. We’ll have to wait and see. Every time there’s another surgery or procedure with anesthesia it takes longer and longer for me to recover from it – and it sucks.
But at least I’ve got my puzzle posse to talk to, right?
I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday, and if you celebrate Mother’s Day I hope it’s a fabulous holiday for you. As for me, hopefully I’ll be in bed being pampered by the kids and hubby – or sitting in front of my puzzle board putting together little pieces of cardboard or wood to make a pretty picture.
If you’re a mom – thank you for all the wonderful, tedious, brave, boring, gracious, heartbreaking, compassionate, caring, forgiving and loving things you do. Even if it isn’t spoken aloud to you enough (and it never is), it is always appreciated. If you’re not a mom, Happy Mother’s Day anyway!
Enjoy your day everyone; my wish for you is lots of love and peaceful puzzling.
Of course the picture above is my beautiful, loving, fantastic, silly, sweet, kind momma. She was the first and most important member of my Puzzle Posse and she loved sitting with me and talking about everything and nothing while we worked together on puzzles. I treasure every moment we had no matter what we were doing, her momma mojo was amazing and as friends we were the bestest of besties. She is so very missed – especially today. 💗
My apologies for not giving all my faithful readers a heads up, life kinda took me over for a bit and it was all just too much. I took a very much needed mental health break, including a trip back to my home state of Michigan to visit loved ones.
I haven’t touched a puzzle since the last time I posted, on June 2nd. But today, at the very least, I’m back on my computer and sitting at my puzzle table.
Depression and anxiety are no joke, and dealing with them on a daily basis sucks big time. Life just overwhelmed me; hubby had another surgery and I had to drive him everywhere – my anxiety about being on the road went absolutely crazy. That made the depression worse and it was just an infinite circle of one feeding the other. I’m sure that being away from my puzzles didn’t help, but I honestly spent almost all of the last 6 weeks in bed and jigsaw puzzles weren’t even on my mind.
But at least I’ve chosen my next puzzle, a collage of canines that make me smile. Plus, it’s the smallest piece count I have here at the moment (750) other than a 500 piece of 12 shaped puzzles that I’m just not in the mood for right now. I will try to get it sorted today, and may even start on it – but no promises.
So how are you all? Working on some fantastic puzzles? I’d love to hear from you!
*My sincerest apologies for disappearing again, I’m just doing the best I can.*
I was so tickled by this month’s box that I decided to share it with you all. On the same day that my husband took me to a local kitchen supply shop to force me to spend some gift certificates, we received this fun-packed box in the mail. What a coincidence!
So along with my new mixing bowl, fancy knives and beautiful bamboo utensils from the store I also got a couple of very nice looking baking-themed puzzles, some puzzle piece cookie cutters and a refrigerator magnet with a measuring conversion table. It definitely cheered me up some. 😊
Along with some baking facts you can also see the full puzzle images on the right – don’t they look like fun? I wish I had the first one, Bake Someone Happy, in a larger piece count; it’ll be fun in this 150 piece puzzle, but it would also be great at 500 or 1000 pieces too I think.
I’m looking forward to both puzzles very much, and can’t wait to see what next month will have in store. 💙
Unfortunately I don’t have anything in progress at the moment; our AC is on the fritz and we’ve spent the last two days trying to deal with it.
I still haven’t finished sorting my next puzzle, which has been sitting on the board, partially sorted, for two and a half days now. So what is everyone else working on? What’s in progress at your house?
