Jigsaw 6

-

 This Easter weekend I am off work and I have decided to chill back and relax for the whole 5 days I am off.

That has involved completing this jigsaw. Now I am aware that it has been several weeks since I last completing any jigsaws but this one took time. It took me a while to want to start another one, told you I go in phases with jigsaws, sometimes it is full on and then suddenly I have a month off!

So I started this one and it was not easy. The pieces were clear and reasonably easy to locate on the box to identify their location but then it was a case of just putting them on the board where I thought they went and hope to find other pieces to build around them. There was no ability to chose a section and find all the pieces and work on that section before moving on to the next part. This involved just going piece by piece.

It worked though and eventually it came together really well and was fun to complete

My Life Today

 Welcome to my life This is a follow on from the blog I kept for many years whilst the family was growing up. For the back story the please go check out Life Today and see who I am and where I come from and what I have been doing for many years. Well, to the best of your ability because sadly I walked away from that blog in 2014. I am not entirely sure why, but you know how it is? Although I think this post in 2013 explains it quite well One day you are blogging all the time and then something happens, you get distracted by life and suddenly it is a month later and you haven't written anything, you have no inspiration too either and then it just stops. I have been thinking about getting this blog back up and running for the past year now. I have taken pictures, thought about words but never actually committed myself to take the time to sit at the computer and create. Life has changed lots since my old blog and suddenly I am in a space where I want to capture life again. remember ...

Jigsaw Storage

 The thing with completing so many jigsaws is what to do with them after you have finished them, or obtained them and waiting to complete them?  If I have enjoyed and loved a jigsaw then I will continue to keep it to complete it again another time (maybe a few years later) and this then means that you need storage and a lot of it! Where I currently live then I have a sneaky storage gap behind my tv And then I also have some storage in the top of a cupboard. The ones in the cupboard are probably ones that it will be a while until I complete as I am not enthusiastic about the design, or they were given to me and I will complete them, but need to be inspired to complete the design.

Horse Games

I currently live on my Aunt's horse farm. Now I am not much of a horse person. I will happily say hi to them and stuff as long as there is a fence between me and them!  I have learnt many things since moving here but have no desire to want to ride them. Fell off of a horse many years ago, and yes, I have got back on another since but riding is not something that I have ever been particularly interested in. I am still in total awe of anyone that does ride and the ease with which they make it look spectacular and fun. However, doesn't mean that I won't help with the horses so when asked to help at an event then I was more than happy to. Here are the bales that the horse and carriage had to enter and then move around in a certain order. They again, made it look so easy but I know it wasn't and yes, a few did manage to mess it up.
