I made a jigsaw last week, for the first time in many, many years. And it was a lot of fun!
The white cardboard thing is our solution to making jigsaws in a house with three cats. Since it’s unlikely the jigsaw will be completed in one sitting, we fold over the flaps and carry the thing to another room to put it away between sessions. This is to stop cats from wrecking it.
OR SO I THOUGHT!
You see sometime after the second of the above pictures was taken, Yossie (bless her soul) jumped up on the table and hopped over the box right on to the jigsaw. Something immediately spooked her, and she freaked out and ran away at blinding speed. She went in one direction, and the white cardboard went in the other. The pieces of the jigsaw went everywhere!
So I had to restart from scratch, which I did. And all was well in the end 🙂
I know I bought many of you reading this jigsaw puzzles for Christmas. If you haven’t started making them yet, I recommend you do now! I already have a much more difficult one to do next, which we’ll probably frame when complete. I’ll be sure to blog about it when it’s done.
