One down, three to go

I brought back four jigsaws last time I visited my sister and yesterday I finished the 1,000 piece one. The sunflowers were a bit tricky as were the cows but I got there in the end. The pieces were normal size so I was quite pleased with myself having got it finished.
I tend to get a bit OCD when it comes to jigsaws and can’t tear myself away. The result is that I get a very stiff neck and shoulders so I find the jigsaws with larger pieces are a better option for me.
Another warm sunny day here but expecting showers over the next four days. We need the rain.

We are opposites. When I had my puzzle, I couldn't make myself do it. I just always felt I should be doing something else.

@JudyEv I have plenty to do here, not that I do it!

Those are a bit easier to see and do in my opinion, too.

I love that jigsaw. I have a cousin who loves doing jigsaws, and he has some quite big ones in frames too.

My sister has framed quite a few of hers. Some are very big.

Good job! I no longer have a table that I can put jigsaw puzzles on. My husband took it and filled it up with his magazines, etc. We could use some rain too. All the storms have been missing us. Have a good day.

I've just done another with larger pieces. I've yet to take a photo of it.

It took several days but I only worked on it an hour or two at a time.

That's awesome. Both the sunflowers and the cows are beautiful.

^^ That’s as pretty as a picture.
Love the sunflowers 
:)
Congrats on finishing that thing. I get OCD about lots of stuff too. Not jigsaw puzzles, I don’t even attempt them because I can’t sit still long enough to finish them. Nice job Judy

Thanks. I was surprised that I actually managed to get it done. Often I get a bit stuck then spit the dummy and pack it away.

I am the same way doing puzzles...I find it hard even on the computer to leave one I am doing to even go to the bathroom. LOL When I was pregnant with my first daughter in KY, it was snowy and I couldn't go out, so I started doing jigsaw puzzles. Friends would come and bring me puzzles. I got so I could do 3 of the 300 or 500 piece puzzles in one day, but it took me 2 days to do 1,000 or 1500 piece puzzles. Pieces are so small. Couldn't do that today without a magnifying glass. I love doing them on the computer as you can't lose pieces, and they don't take up any room. The puzzle you did has a LOT of different items in it. WOW! Nice Job!

I did a 300 piece one today in a day but they were big pieces. I prefer those now.
