32,256 pieces assembled – 8,064 to go!

I did my best to get a good picture, and this was the best I was able to take. I thought about standing the board up against the wall, but that’s how the whole Jungle Book fiasco happened. So here’s the best I could do for now, Hakuna Matata!

This section was fun, and just gorgeous! I loved every minute of the assembly, and I’m kinda sad that it’s over with to be honest. This section took 15 days, which isn’t bad considering there were some medical issues going on and some days I wasn’t able to do much puzzling at all. Some days I took trays of pieces to bed with me and worked on it laying down in another room! 🙂

I’m loving this whole puzzle so much, but I’m dreading being completely finished. I still have no idea what to do with the completed puzzle, none whatsoever. 😦 Any suggestions? Please help!! I know when all 10 sections are complete I’m going to want to assemble them all so I can take lots of pictures of my accomplishment. But if I don’t figure out what’s going to happen with the finished puzzle I may end up having to disassemble the puzzle back into 10 sections. The very thought of that makes me cringe!

Next up……. Beauty and The Beast, isn’t it lovely?

It will probably be a day or two before I’m able to start working on Beauty and The Beast. The Lion King is still on the board so we have to carefully get Simba and friends taken off and stored, and there is still sorting to do. I am really looking forward to this one, I’ve been looking forward to it since September! I’ve saved the ones I thought would be the most fun for last and here we are – I’m so excited!

So very close! I’m hoping I’ll feel well enough to finish it tomorrow, but there are no guarantees. It looks awesome and I’m super proud of it, and am hopeful I’ll be feeling better or just well enough to sit/stand tomorrow and wrap this one up!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Giraffes! Aren’t they amazing looking? It’s all coming together and looking great. I’ll be able to work on it tomorrow morning, but it may be slow going for a couple of days as I’m having another procedure and may not be up to much puzzling for a few days.

Less than 500 pieces to go now, it’s getting exciting! Almost 80% percent done, and there are only 2 more sections left to go. I’m enjoying assembling all the animals, but I am unable to string words together to articulate why. My brain cells are on strike or something and I feel unbelievably stupid at the moment. I like puzzles. 🙂

I do have a couple of posts written up and ready to publish on additional puzzles, just so there will be something posted every day even if I’m not able to work on The Lion King. WordPress lets you set up a time and date to publish posts, how cool is that?? I can get stuff ready beforehand and post when I’m not even upright or awake!

It doesn’t feel like I got much accomplished today, spent a lot of time in bed resting and napping. But looking at yesterday’s picture makes me feel a little better, I got pretty much the lower right side all filled in!

It feels at the moment like it’s crawling along at a snail’s pace, but I’m trying to remember that every piece I fit into the puzzle is progress. There are less than 1000 pieces to go, and although I was hoping to have it finished by tomorrow evening, that is definitely NOT going to happen. It’ll be done when it gets done, and I’ll be happy whenever that is. 🙂

Looking better and better every day. 🙂 I’m too worn out today and my brain isn’t working properly, so the picture is gonna have to be worth 1000 words. Picture, start talking!
