chuckroI did a big wave of puzzles in the spring, then had a big gap in the summer, but then blasted through basically a puzzle a week in October and November. Not coincidentally, my TV-watching was much more concentrated to those times, also.
We did a whopping sixteen 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles: Toy Shop, 7 Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim, The Best Places in America, I Love Gum, Breakfast Table, I Love Baking, Blue Ribbon County Fair, Toy Stamps, CTY 2024, I Love Music, Saturday Morning Cartoons, Make Mine Marvel, Blow Pops, Love Is Everywhere, Welcome Fall, NYC Street. We also did one 1,500-piece jigsaw puzzle: Home in the Ocean; and we did two 500-piece jigsaw puzzles: Inside the Museum: The Met, and Sewing Box. And I did the two 240-piece Pizza puzzles. (I also helped do one at in a convention games room, but I didn’t record the title.)
Call that 20 “real” jigsaw puzzles, which is a pretty high count. I’ve got five on the shelf and three more my dad is bringing over, so I suspect it’ll once again come in waves along with how big my TV backlog gets.
I only did 3 Paint-By-Stickers, one from Kaleidoscope Sticker Mosaics and 2 from Paint-by-Sticker Flowers. I kinda wish I could have brought those to choir rehearsals; they’re a great thing to occupy my hands and I still have plenty left to do.
