That’s a really lovely puzzle. My mums being doing jigsaws in lockdown and I want to send her some new ones. I haven’t seen any as pretty as yours.
It’s a beauty alright which makes it more fun to work. I read that puzzle sales have soared. I get mine at thrift stores or stores where they’re discounted, as new ones are generally rather expensive. This and the other one like it I got at a bookstore chain called Half Price Books.
Yes, they are expensive new. But my mum’s on the other side of the world and there is so little I can do for her right now.
Oh, I didn’t mean you shouldn’t get any for her. It’s a wonderful thing to get and much more useful and fun that many other deliverable gifts. Just meant for me. 🙂
I know Janet — I have to justify it to myself as, in general I wouldn’t buy new items that are only used once (or at best occasionally).
Just got back from my parents where I borrowed about six or seven puzzles. 😉
Enjoy!!!
I will. 🙂
that’s such a beautiful puzzle. i have been doing tons of puzzles and can really appreciate a beautiful one
I have another one that’s similar and they’re both beautiful. I haven’t worked a puzzle for some time and I’m really enjoying it, but it’s rather addictive. 🙂
It is so addictive and calming
Very true. 😊
They are for all of us.
(Six word comment 😏)
Well done on the comment, Dan. (Six word response.) 🙂
Haha. This could go on forever 😏
I certainly believe that you’re right. 🤭
Which of us will end this?
Will it be you or me?
How many replies can you have?
No one’s ever counted that high.
We can set a new record.
It’s entirely possible that we will. 😳🤭😉
They said it couldn’t be done
But what do they actually know?
Oooops, time to walk the dog.
I hope you both had fun.
Indeed. Trying to beat the rain.
Hope you’re having a happy Sunday.
Thanks, I hope you are, too.
So far it’s been good.
I expended the contraction for you.
Phew! I was getting somewhat worried.
No need to worry over typos
But let’s stick with this thread.
When’s the next six word story?
Saturday. Should we call a draw?
Maybe, that’s a long way off.
Or go to one per day.
That works. See you again tomorrow.
That works for me as well.
Good. You can end it Saturday.
WordPress may put us on probation. 🙂
Replying so I don’t lose this
Double secret probation won’t stop us.
We are nothing if not persistent!
We must remain vigilant and strong.
Definitely never give up, never surrender. 🙂
We’re almost at the finish line.
True. I think we’ll make it.
Fitting to end on July fourth
We’ll go out with a bang. 🙂
I hope you enjoy the holiday!
And the two of you too!
Is that it? Are we done?
That’s it! We did it! Hurrah!
We were more succinct than Twitter!!! :
We are still six wording along.
We’re going to stop it right…now. ❤️😁
Perfect!
But it was fun. I was going to say “It was a lot of fun”, but that would have been six words. 😂
Haha!
Drat! I wasn’t done editing. It should have been, “So far I’ve been enjoying it.” Does that break the chain?
I assumed it was a typo.
Somehow hit send before meaning to.
We have all done the same.
A lovely interaction, had me smiling….
And now you added six words. 🥳
👍
It took me a second to realize this was in fact a puzzle and not a tapestry. Very pretty!
Thanks, Joanne. I have another that’s similar in style. Haven’t worked either of them for ages and it’s been lots of fun.
lovely puzzle! 🙂
Thanks, Lola. 🥰
That’s a pretty puzzle! It looks like it took some time to do too.
That it did. The one I just finished today was designed by a fiend, because it has all oddly shaped pieces and even the edge pieces are difficult to find. 🤪
Awesome! Doing one myself of Mont St. Michel in France. Getting there slowly but surely. MZ
That sounds like a good one.
I adore this puzzle and your caption 😀
Thanks very much, Cee.
agree.
But at least these puzzles are fun.
I’d want to frame and hang it afterwards 🙂 🙂
I thought about that, but I’d like to work it again at some point. 😊
Troubling times indeed, but you are putting it to beautiful use!
I borrowed some puzzles from my mom today. I gave away most of ours before we moved, as I was just getting to the point of feeling as if we had way too much stuff and puzzles take up quite a lot of space. Should keep me going for awhile. 🙂
I always liked puzzles (yours is lovely!) – but I hated that they took over the table and I was forced to abandon them or abandon home comforts (eating with the family for example). These days I do puzzles electronically. It’s usually the last thing I do when I’m in bed on my tablet. Reading is dangerous because even if I am very tired I will keep reading and miss out on necessary sleep but can stop anytime with an e-puzzle.
I’ve never tried e-puzzles. I’m afraid I might be the same way as I am and you are with reading…just one more chapter, just one more… In our new house, our dining room is big enough that we have both extra leaves in the table, so it’s nice and long. I’m just using one end for puzzles and we have a table in the kitchen for everyday eating. No one over for dinner these days. 😦
Wow! What a fabulous puzzle! How long did it take you????
Hope you are all doing well. We have been keeping an eye on Arizona as my sister is in Phoenix. It is a mad mad time!
I don’t know exactly. I worked on it off and on for 3 or 4 days maybe.
We are doing well, thankfully, taking precautions and wearing masks whenever we’re in close proximity to people (in all stores.) Not thrilled about the spike but people here didn’t seem to take it very seriously for some time, which is now having consequences. I don’t wear one when I walk, but I’m not walking with anyone or getting close to anyone else. You stay well, too.
Ah! you leave your puzzle out and do it a little at a time!
Just read that AZ has issued a new shutdown order. I know my sister will be relieved as she feels as you do that not everyone seems to take it very seriously.
Hang in there.
Lots more people are wearing masks now, but when I was in the grocery store today, there were a few not wearing them. Much better at least.
Great puzzle Janet!
Thanks, Aletta. It’s a beauty.
My hubby’s been doing puzzles forever. Now, it’s all the rage.
I guess that’s a good thing. We need to go back to simple things.
This is a beautiful one, Janet. I hope you decide to frame it.
Be safe … Be Healthy … Be Happy 😍
Isadora 😎
I won’t be framing it, Issy. It’s already back in the box, I’ve worked another one (even harder) and put that back in the box, and the table’s clear for my next one. I borrowed 6 or 7 from Mom the other day, so I’m all set for now. 🙂 Puzzles are good for the brain, so we can call them exercise, too.
My hubby takes them apart too. I can never look. I know how much time can go into it. I don’t do them. Hubby buys – well not now since we’re isoltaing – at good will. They have new ones and very inexpensive. We’ve gotten some used one at our library but some have missing pieces. Grrr
I knit. It strains my brain enough. LOL
I challenge myself with patterns with stitches I don’t know how to do then curse my curiosity to challenge myself. Have a wonderful Tuesday ~~~ : – )
Knitting works, too. I just don’t know how to knit and don’t have the desire to learn. I need to work on learning how to be a better photographer and I want to get back to making handmade cards with an Oriental flavor. Those will have to wait until August, though, as I’ll be going to Wyoming in mid-July.
Knitting does require a rhythm.
One never gets bored if there’s something to look forward to. I love anything oriental.
👍 😍 😎
Gorgeous lady locked together during lockdown. 🙂
🙂 Good one. And now you have a six-word comment, too. Dan and I are in a six-word comment (limited now to one per day) interchange that will last until this coming Saturday. One is enough! 🙂
Glad to help out. 😃
What a beauty! I haven’t done a puzzle in years, but then again I have my Art Gowns keeping me uber busy. Love this shot!
I think you have enough going on to keep your artistic side busy. I do enjoy doing puzzles, so it’s nice to have a place to do them without interfering with anything else.
I understand. I miss doing crossword puzzles.
I do one of those most mornings after I read my devotions and do my little Duolingo French lesson. The puzzles aren’t particularly difficult, but it’s great mind exercise and once in awhile there’s word I haven’t heard/seen or didn’t know it could be used in that way.
