I mostly did some filling in today, it looks impressive but I wasn’t able to actually add very many pieces.  Spent most of the day resting or playing with the dog. What would be great is if doctors could actually do something about or help me with my pain.  Being in pain all the time is awful and depressing. Having this puzzle is good for me though, gives me something to look forward to, a goal to accomplish.

I may have to see if I can find a copy of Peter Pan to watch, my youngest son told me today that the filmstrip pictures don’t accurately represent the end of the movie.  It’s been so long since I’ve seen it that I don’t really remember specifically the ending.  What’s interesting about the filmstrip in this section is that the image I’m assembling is also an image in the filmstrip.  This wasn’t true of the first three sections I completed.  Kind of cool though! The stars are bigger and brighter, but otherwise it’s the same scene.

Spending the day at mom’s tomorrow, my Friday ritual. Won’t be as much progress, but any pieces added make me happy! 🙂

Most of the light blue clouds are finished and I’ve started the dark blue sky. There are about 1200 or more of the dark pieces left, wheeeee!!

I’m surprisingly not finding this puzzle tedious yet.  I figured once I had to start on the sky it would be difficult and frustrating, but it isn’t.  I’ve been working on the clouds for 2 days and it isn’t bothering me at all.  In fact today I was having a great time working on it, in between throwing a toy for the dog over and over and watching netflix.

Tomorrow I have to get groceries in the morning, but hope to be able to work on the puzzle during the afternoon after I rest from shopping.  I bet there’ll be more sky done! Super exciting!

It’s much slower going now, everything left is just sky.  Different shades of the sky at night.  I finished Big Ben and started on the lightest color of the clouds.  I was also able to finally complete the trail of pixie dust so it is all connected.  Everything you see on the board is connected, that always makes me feel like I’ve made lots of progress.

Today’s piece count was the lowest so far for this section, but it looks like I got lots done, so I’m pleased.

I wonder what I should work on tomorrow.  Sky perhaps? 😉

img_2364Most of Big Ben is done; still have a few pieces to add on the left side, the spire at the top and the lower portion. But it looks impressive compared to yesterday! 🙂

I’m exhausted and hurting and cannot think of another thing to say.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is enjoying the holiday season.

All it takes is faith and trust, and a little bit of pixie dust!

It doesn’t look like much, but I feel like I made great progress today! Mostly because I was able to connect almost everything together. The pixie dust was the key!

You can’t tell unless you’re looking close up, but the pixie dust has colors in it, which made it a little easier than I thought to get it all assembled. It was still time consuming, but not too terrible. Once the pixie dust was completed Wendy, John, Michael and Tinkerbell were all connected. When I put Peter where he goes I was only missing one piece to connect him to Wendy, and it was a piece I had put with the pixie dust so I found it very quickly.

Once I finished dog sitting for my mom I still had some time to work on the puzzle, so I started assembling the clock tower and statues below Wendy. This allowed me to attach the characters and pixie dust to the rest of the puzzle – almost everything on the board is connected! Still missing a few pieces of the pixie dust that I must not have sorted properly, but it was a pretty good day!
