Got most of the dark blue starry/edge pieces assembled, and now begins the fun part! I have absolutely no idea where to go from here, no idea where to start tomorrow. I am completely clueless. As usual. 🙂

What you see there is about 1600 pieces assembled, which means there are approximately 2400 left to go. Yowza. And except for the twinklies they are all shades of blue. I may try to do the trail of fairy dust left by Tinkerbell, but I learned in the Cinderella section that it can be difficult and time consuming. Although, that’s pretty much going to be the entire rest of the puzzle, so I might as well go for it, right?

The filmstrip is finished! (Missing one piece, but it’s a blue piece with stars on it that I most likely put in the wrong sorting container – it’ll turn up eventually)

I have the dark blue starry pieces sorted and ready to start assembling them tomorrow. Once the filmstrip is in place putting the dark starry pieces in is much easier, so those are the last of the relatively easy parts of this particular section. After that it’ll be lots of blue/dark blue/dark pieces.

It’s looking good, even though you can’t really tell from the picture that it’s 54 inches long and 38 inches tall. Yes, it is really that big! And this section is only 1/10 of the entire puzzle!

Most of the filmstrip is assembled, I hope to be able to finish it tomorrow morning or evening. Once it is complete it will pretty much just be dark/blue left for the entire puzzle. There is a stripe of “magic” that Tinkerbell leaves in her wake that goes through a lot of the picture, but other than that it’s just shades of blue. Fun! 😐

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving – stuffed themselves with good food, enjoyed spending time with their families, watched parades and football, and relaxed!

Wendy, John, Michael, Peter, and Tinkerbell – all finished! Everyone has all their limbs and clothing and is looking good!

After working on Dumbo with all the muted colors, the bright colors of the characters in this section made the assembly quite easy. For this part. Most of the rest of it is dark, but I’ll get through it and be glad I did. There are a couple more easy bits, the pink clock faces at the top of the tower and the filmstrip. I’m planning on doing those next.

In particular it will be nice to do the filmstrip because in this section it goes along the left side and the bottom. It will be easy to get it situated where I want it and to make sure the puzzle is somewhat centered on the board and as far down as I want it.

Hopefully I’ll at least be able to get a little bit done tomorrow evening. I do NOT go shopping or anywhere near stores on black Friday. So instead of fighting the crowds I will be doing something fun – my jigsaw puzzle! Unless the tryptophan gets me and I end up face down in the mashed potatoes 🙂

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your holiday!

Peter Pan has begun! Not a lot of time to work today, but the characters aren’t difficult to pick out and assemble, so it went pretty quickly. Wendy and John only have faces, Peter only needs his feet and arms, and Tinkerbell and Michael are both completed!

There won’t be a lot of time tomorrow either, as it’s Thanksgiving prep day. But in between times I hope to be able to sit down for 5 or 10 minutes at a time and work on completing characters.

I’m thrilled to be able to start another section, and it made me really happy to be able to sit and put things together today. Hope it continues to be as much fun as it was today. I LOVE THIS WHOLE PUZZLE!
