It’s coming along! A little less than 1200 pieces to go!

I got it flipped over so I can work on the top of the puzzle tomorrow. Only morning and evening though, spending the day hanging out at mom’s. She thinks it’s important that I get out of the house at least once a week, so I force her to spend time with me. 😉

Working toward getting all the leaves and tree branches finished, and I still have to find the right pieces to attach the flowers to the leaves hanging above the rock. It feels like it’s going slowly but the daily pictures are a nice reminder of where I was the day before and how much progress I’m making every day. It’s always nice when I haven’t put that many pieces in the puzzle but the picture shows that what I did assemble made a big difference.

It didn’t feel like I got much done today, but looking at the picture it’s impressive. Slow going, lots of green to sort through but when you fill in empty spaces it looks like you’ve accomplished quite a bit!

There are about 1500 pieces left to go, although it seems there should be more. Tomorrow will go faster or at least it will seem to.  Each piece I put into the puzzle is one less piece I have to look through.

I’m going to try to fill in as much as I can on the bottom part of the puzzle tomorrow so that I can flip the board to work on the top half later.  It’s hard to me to stand up for any length of time to work on the upper section, so I piece together sections on trays or flip the board so I can work more comfortably.

It won’t be long now, almost halfway there!!

More general filling in today. Nothing to write home about.  Making progress a little at a time, but still enjoying myself.

Basically what I am now left with is all green.  Shades of green.  Lots and lots of green. That’s ok though, I knew what I was getting into. I can’t really say specifically what I’m doing next, other than it’ll be green – filling in where I can.

I’m only a week or so away from being halfway finished with this puzzle! I can’t believe it! And I thought it would be taking me more time, so I still haven’t figured out what in the world I’m going to do with it once it’s finished. Anyone have any suggestions? I don’t have a wall big enough to display it. Should I start a go fund me page for a new house with enough wall space to hang the giant puzzle on?  Probably not. 😐

Bagheera and the branch he is on is now connected to the rest of the puzzle.  It’s starting to take shape and is looking good!

Got the lightest background color mostly done along with some greenery from the tree. I also was able to pick out some of the water and get that partially filled in under Baloo. Still having a good time working on it, but I haven’t been able to work on it for more than a few minutes at a time lately.  Even less time than usual. There’s been way more resting than working these days.

Hubby had lots of running errands to do today, so he was mostly out of my hair and out of my way, but of course he had something loud and obnoxious to do in the golf/puzzle room later in the day. Did he wait until I left the room to rest? No! He waited until I came back in the room and then decided it would be the perfect time to make noise and get in the way. 😡

Lots of good progress today.  The rock is mostly finished, and I got started on the long tree branch that Bagheera is standing on. I was even able to attach one of the flowers to it! I always feel good about being able to attach sections together. Imagine how excited I will be when I’m finished and able to attach all 10 sections together!!!

I’ll work more on the large branch tomorrow, and after that I have no idea where I’ll go next. Usually something jumps out at me.

Hubby will be home most of the day tomorrow.  I don’t know if that means he’ll want to help me with the puzzle, or if he’ll be in my way or asking where things are, etc. Hopefully he’ll either be out of the house, or vegging in front of the tv. Just so he’s out of my way and out of my hair!

My puzzle is set up in his golf room where he keeps everything golf related and where he works on golf clubs as a small side job. So most likely he’ll be working on golf clubs for someone and constantly in my way. I have to remember that I love him when he’s in there making noise and generally being annoying. 😉
