Oops..she did it again! YIKES!

 

Back in 2017, my Florida 'Q' Bud, Susan, gave me my first BD puzzle while we were in Florida.  I don't remember how many pieces in this one.  I do remember I had it set up on the coffee table in the living room so everytime I passed by the bugger I would try to find a piece.  About drove me crazy. The last puzzle I did was with my kids when they were putting together their ABC puzzle!




Last year for my BD, my Q Bud, Susan, gifted me a 500 piece puzzle!!  I worked on that bugger for months!!  It was frustrating at times and at times satisfying! It was a really pretty puzzle and I was so relieved/satisfied to finish it.  I don't like unfinished projects - especially if you can't stash them in a drawer!  I had this puzzle set up on my dye/painting table downstairs.  Whenever the dogs went outside, I would pick up a piece or two (if I was lucky!).  I did finish it and I even gave to my bud, Donna, who also finished it!







But look what Susan sent me this year for my BD!  It's a 1000 piece puzzle!!!!!  OMG...I about passed out looking at the cover then at the number of pieces!!!

I found the size, which is 29" x 20" so back downstairs to my dye room table!  I'm actually thinking of setting up a card table in that room.  I need to make bookmarks for our book sale in April, which means I have to stamp/dye/print on poster paper which means I need my table! 

Susan said the yarns made her think of me!  I'm not sure if that's good or bad!  








Yes, the pieces are in a nice zip lock bag!  So I'm grabbing pieces and putting all the border/edges in one small box.



Now I'm trying to organize by color and by that tiny brown/bin border each color of yarn sits in!  

This WILL NOT be done by the end of the year!  Susan can change the gift from 2026 to 2026-2027!  






So now I have my knitted sweater to finish; my color wheel hex quilt, book marks and this to finish!  Oh dear, which should I work on first!  THANK YOU, Susan, for the gift!  I think...Bob will let you know if he has to commit me to the local psych ward!  HA
