Judy Evans @JudyEv (381904) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Apr

The photo shows the three new-to-me jigsaws that I picked up yesterday at the swap meet. The centre one will be interesting. The word on the box says ‘jigsaw’ backwards and the picture that appears when the puzzle is complete will...

I'm going to a jigsaw/puzzle swap meet shortly

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381904) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Apr

Three down, one to go

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381904) • Rockingham, Australia 13 May 24

I’ve finished another jigsaw. This one also had a barn, Friesian cows and sunflowers in it and the pieces were big, almost huge in fact, so it wasn’t all that hard to do. I bought home four jigsaws from my sister’s and now have...

While my sister was staying with me, I finished off a large jigsaw with her help. Vince took a photo of it for me. It shows a collection of beer bottles and brands from around the world. It was quite difficult to do but also kept...

I was talking to a friend the other day. They live in the same lifestyle village as we do, and Vince has taken photos for them at many ‘important occasions’. My friend has made several photo albums to commemorate these events but...

I have a brother and sister who were twins. Sadly, my brother has passed away. My sister is 83, eight years older than I am. We now live about an hour’s drive from them so we are able to visit here more often. We are going up...

I finished my jigsaw

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381904) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Sep 21

My friend gave me a jigsaw recently and I’ve just finished it. It was 500 pieces which is just about the right size for me. I’m not so keen on the really big ones nowadays. I get too anxious to get them done and next thing I know...

I'm giving up

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381904) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Feb 21

I like to have a jigsaw on the go. I’ve always enjoyed doing them. I stopped for a while as I was spending too long at a time at them and ending up with a very stiff neck and shoulders. I bought this one at the op shop (thrift...

When was the last time you finished a jigsaw puzzle?

deeeky @deeeky (3667) • Edinburgh, Scotland 26 Dec 06

I used to do jigsaw puzzles till I finished all the pieces and sometimes there was a piece missing even though the box was new. Quite irratating! Now that I spend more time on the computer it has been a long time since I completed...
