Disney & Pixar In Progress

Disney & Pixar Toy Store – Ravensburger – 1000 pieces

I sorted this puzzle before we left on our trip, and it was especially nice coming home to a puzzle all nicely separated and waiting to be assembled. If only I were wealthy enough to be able to hire someone else do my sorting for me! 💲💸

Pretty much all of this work was done on Monday, I spent yesterday going to doctor’s appointments and sleeping for the most part. This second trip has worn me out!

All that’s left now is the staircase on the left and the shelves on the right – it shouldn’t take too much time at all. I’ll have to sneak in a bit of puzzling as I’ve been ordered to stay off my feet with my leg elevated for the next week at least, but hubby isn’t around all the time and I can certainly be allowed a few minutes of puzzling, can’t I?

It’s good for my mental health!

Vacation Puzzle In Progress…

Imagine! by Lana Kissinger – Liberty – 284 pieces

Got started on this gorgeous Liberty puzzle yesterday with some assistance from my beautiful niece who spent the day visiting with me. Liberty’s motto is “Sit Long, Talk Much” and that’s exactly what we did. She’s not a puzzle person for the most part, but she seemed to enjoy looking at the interesting shapes and trying to find ones that fit together. She found a few pieces too, so she officially helped me with this assembly!

I hope she had as much fun as I did, it was lovely to spend the day together. We sat long, talked much, did a little puzzling and enjoyed each other’s company. 💖

Fantasy Golf In Progress…

Fantasy Golf (What If? No. 18) by Geoff Tristram- Ravensburger – 1000 pieces

Obviously I cannot show you the puzzle that I’m currently assembling; it’s a mystery puzzle and showing the image, even just in progress, is a spoiler. Instead I’m sharing the picture on the back of the box. This is the artist, Geoff Tristram; his photo is on the back of every What If? puzzle that he draws, and he’s always dressed up in outfits that relate to the theme of the artwork.

The box says “What If? Golf suddenly became easier to play? Just imagine how delightful a round could be…” From what I can see so far, it’s going to be another beautiful bit of cartooning from the artist, and more fun and funny characters and situations to assemble.

Hubby is off at a golf tournament today, so I’m hoping working on this puzzle brings him good luck. 🍀⛳

*If he wins, we can use the cash prize to buy more puzzles! 😎*

Summer Books In Progress…

Vintage Summer Books by Aimee Stewart – Buffalo – 1000 pieces

Once again I’m working on a puzzle with an image by Aimee Stewart, and I can’t seem to keep myself away from it! It’s too much fun, and it keeps calling me back. 😊

This picture is only one small bit of the puzzle, because the only way to get a good picture of the whole thing without glare from the lights is to stand the board against the wall the way I do when I finish a puzzle. Taking off all my trays and containers of pieces wasn’t something I felt like doing this morning, so you just get to see one corner. I would apologize, but…I don’t want to.

Finishing up the sorting yesterday I kept having an argument with myself about whether or not this was the puzzle to assemble next. Watching all the pieces line up on the trays, seeing all those flowers and all that greenery – I kept thinking that it’ll be too difficult and maybe I should do something else. As you can see I decided to keep going (or I couldn’t decide whether or not to stop and got caught in a loop of indecision). 🤷‍♀️

There have been one or two puzzles with Aimee’s artwork that were full of flowers and vines and lots of green things; they were the most challenging puzzles of hers that I’ve done. It looks like this one might get difficult once all the books are done, but for now I’m REALLY enjoying myself!

What are you working on? Any fantastic images that I might want to see? Do tell!

Garden Study In Progress…

Garden Study of the Vickers Children by John Singer Sargent – Laurel Ink – 500 pieces

I finished sorting and started assembling this thrift store purchase yesterday, and made very good progress if I do say so myself. Fine Art puzzle images can be notoriously difficult to assemble, and this one is no different – but for some reason this one seems more enjoyable than others I’ve done.

The only pieces that are left now are shades and shapes of green, so they have all been sorted by shape and then we’re off to the races. Wish me luck!
