During the Christmas break, me and Mum managed to dig into one of our souvenirs and, lo and behold, we completed it! A one thousand piece jigsaw puzzle beautifully showing off all of Gaudi’s famous architecture in Barcelona!
It was really challenging at times T-T but we got there! The shadows made things a bit hard, as well as the obscure and irregular designs Gaudi made meant it was difficult to sensibly piece it together. I feel like we really achieved something.
Having said that, I don’t think we’ll be trying it again until next Christmas…

Puzzles are something that could become more of a habit when I retire, maybe. In a few deacdes (bloody hell, I’ve got a long way to go…)

Good for the brain, and the colours must have helped a bit. I like bright jigsaws, some are just too monochrome and all you end up doing is sorting by shape and trying every piece because there is no clue to go by.

The colours did help, but not as much as I expected. I agree, it’s hard to find good puzzles. So many of them are just “here’s a photo of an animal with all this sky or water or grass around it – go”. As soon as I saw this puzzle, I knew I had to buy it. The pieces were so tiny though! Like, 3/4 the size of a regular piece. Made it not take up so much room, but you had to focus a bit to see what was actually on the piece.

Smaller pieces would not be easy I agree, I have trouble enough with the regular sizes.

Wow I am an absolute puzzle person! I recently did a 1000 piece that didn’t have a picture and had 70 missing pieces. Great post!

70 missing pieces?! What a headache! Did you still have fun figuring it out?

Yes absolutely. It was actually my mum’s puzzle from her college days so i guess a lot of the pieces ran away over time (:
