It’s almost there! I only have one row to finish on the right side and 2 rows on the top!

It always seems to go much faster near the end, there are less pieces to choose from and it’s much easier to match up shades of color and shapes. I’ll finish tomorrow, I’m super excited!

I was completely wrong when I thought that I’d want to take a break in between sections, because all I want to do is immediately get going on the next one! .I’ve already pulled the bag of pieces for the next section. Once I finish tomorrow I’ll probably get going right away on sorting if I’m feeling up to it.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s picture of the completed Peter Pan section! 🙂  I will do my best to take a good picture with no glare.

I’m looking at all the darkness and clouds and can’t believe I’ve done all that. Not much more to go, so it’s gonna be finished in the next 2 or 3 days depending on how I’m feeling and if I get any assistance.  Mom will have to come over in the next day or so to put at least one piece in, it’s become our tradition! Shouldn’t be a problem though, since I’m dog sitting tomorrow for her, she’ll be over to drop off her little guy.

Tomorrow begins the twinklies. This section seems to have the twinklies a little farther down into the puzzle.  It may be that way for all the sections on the bottom, I’m not sure yet – the first 3 sections I completed were on the top half of the puzzle. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not finding the pieces I’m looking for because they most likely have stars on them and are in the last container of pieces. So tomorrow I’ll separate them and begin the final countdown. I’m excited to get it finished!

More filling in today.  There are about 900 pieces left to go!  I may be able to have this section finished by Monday or Tuesday of next week. Maybe sooner if hubby sees how close I am and wants to help at the end. 😉

Plenty of blue left to go, then it’s on to the twinklies. Still having a good time, and I am actually not frustrated at all.  Maybe it’s because I like the whole puzzle and am excited to be working towards completion. Or maybe I’m just a jigsaw junkie who is addicted to puzzles. Perhaps both!

I saw today that someone has already finished this puzzle.  In 2 months!  I feel like a slacker. 😐 But I can only do what I can do, and it’s not a competition. I’m doing this because I want to accomplish it, and because it’s fun – not because I want to be the first or the fastest.  Lord knows I am definitely not the fastest! I’m doing what I can do, even if I can only work on the puzzle for 10 minutes at a time.  Congrats to the lady who has finished it already though. Way to go!

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!
