Finally...

After a wedding, a vacation and I don't know how many weeks, this is what I get. I thought everything would be easier now since I only have to finish the sky but boy.... was I wrong. I was resolved to using the 'trial and error' method - try every piece until you find one that fits. This time my nephews and nieces helped a bit. After a week, it's finally done. *phew* and yippee! I completed my first 3000-piece jigsaw puzzle!


As usual I left it there on the carpet for a few days. Anyway, one of my nephews who is so excited about the process of breaking it up was not around. I know, I'm such a great aunt. But that took a couple of weeks because they didn't come over :( My cat get to have a little fun though.

One day they finally came. After weeks and weeks of hard work, it took them 30 seconds to turn the puzzle into this.....


The nephew whom I was waiting for wasn't there but I can't stand it anymore. That thing must go back into the box. But when he finally came the week after, he didn't ask me about it. He's 6, I guess he forgot all about it.

Some of you who's not a jigsaw puzzle enthusiast may not understand and think it's such a waste of time but I love it. I can't explain it.

Next up! 5000 pieces!

Anybody care to sponsor the puzzle?

My Current Project

This is the first time i'm doing a 3000-pieces jigsaw puzzle. I bought this thing like so many years ago but never got around to doing it. I finally took it out when i sent my pc for repairs and i got bored.



After one week....


After 2 weeks....

and it is still ongoing. My nephews have been bugging me when it will be finished. Actually they're just itching to tear it apart for me, those scoundrels. Bukannya nak tolong. Ceh...
