Jigsaw #2 - The Four Seasons

 And within a week I have completed the next one, and this one is even 2000 pieces. Amazing what you can do when on holiday from work and taking time to relax.

This jigsaw I have had for a while, but like the start of last year, I didn't have a board big enough to complete it on. I had established over a year ago or more that this one would not fit on my felted board, so I stored all the sorted pieces in little bags and put the jigsaw away.

Fast forward to now, when I have finally come up with a solution and here, we go.

The easiest way I could think to complete this one was to sort the pieces by season. There were some distinct colours for each season, so it was not difficult. Although it was not fool proof and I was left with a box of pieces that could have gone absolutely anywhere. So, I did each season first and then filled in the gaps as I understood the picture.

It was fun to do, a steady piece of work that was done by either doing a large session sat with it or putting in a few pieces whenever I walked past. The old, find 10 pieces and have to put them in before I can leave. I find that makes it fun to do a small handful of pieces and then walk away.

Jigsaw #1 - Disney

 And the year has started. I finished my last jigsaw on 28 December and so, after deciding which one to complete next, sorting the pieces and then, in between activities and family, I have finally finished the first one of the year.

A really cute but slightly difficult and frustrating Disney one.

The top and bottom border were almost the death of me! The pieces were almost identical and getting the right shape together so that it went together correctly, was annoying. I think I undid it several times and at the end I had to redo the border to get it right!

It was a fun one to do, even if there were moments, but who can resist Disney and all my childhood characters.
