Jigsaw Puzzles

I've been working on some of the jigsaw puzzles that have been around here for decades. It's a good thing to get done while we are between cats.

Cats think these puzzles were made for them to play with. The late Buddy:




This poker game was harder because sometime two pieces together formed the spot where a tab was inserted.



This is the current one, it's from the 1940s or 50s, and is really hard. There are lot of straight edges that resemble edge pieces, and the picture isn't very representative. I'm to the sky part where the colors all look alike, so am to the point of going by shape more than color.







That little scratch pad near the upper right-hand corner is because the old gate-leg table isn't totally level.

Angel like to stretch out on everything I knit. Not sure if she's trying to annoy me or giving her approval.

It's approval, I'm sure. Buddy thought he was being helpful.

I was trying to think what color cat to look for when we go looking in a month or so.

I've never been good at jigsaw puzzles. I get frustrated too easily.

It helps the time pass while I wait for the first hummingbirds to show up.

It'd be fun to do them all, just once.

I don't have the patience to do jigsaw puzzles!

I don't think I have the patience, either, but do it a little bit at a time.

WOW those are huge!

They look big in the picture - that poker one looks like a full-size game, doesn't it?
