Birthday Jigsaw Puzzle Progress – Puzzle 8 of 10 – Part 30 – Incomplete…?

 After I finish a puzzle…? Then comes the part where I tear it into pieces!!! Mwhahahahhahaha!!!! ψ(`∇´)ψ

Birthday Jigsaw Puzzle Progress – Puzzle 8 of 10 – Part 29 – Complete!

Yay!! It’s finally complete!!! I think this puzzle has taken me the longest out of all the puzzles. I really hit a slump in the beginning but then I seemed to get my mojo back finally and started to make some serious progress. I’m really excited to start the next puzzle. The next puzzle will be a 1000 piece puzzle! Considering all the trouble I had completing this one, as excited as I am… I’m also a little concerned for the progress I’ll make on a such a large puzzle, especially if I’m unable to have all the pieces on the table like I can with the 750 piece puzzles. The 750 piece puzzles were pushing the edges of the tables so it’s highly doubtful I’ll be able to fit all the pieces on the table like I could with the smaller size puzzles.

Birthday Jigsaw Puzzle Progress – Puzzle 8 of 10 – Part 28 – Almost Done!

I was almost able to finish the middle gap in this puzzle session! So close! I should definitely be able finish this next puzzle session! Oh my goodness I’m so excited I can’t wait! It is looking so good! I wonder how many pieces I have left….

Birthday Jigsaw Puzzle Progress – Puzzle 8 of 10 – Part 27 – Floating Section

Found where the floating section went, it was actually next to the cluster I kept trying to attach it to, shows how good my intuition is. Continued filling in the gaps. Started on the next tree trunk over from the completed right-hand side trees. I should be able to knock the rest of the puzzle out in two more sessions judging by my current progress. I’m so keen to finish this one!

Birthday Jigsaw Puzzle Progress – Puzzle 8 of 10 – Part 26 – Right-hand Side Complete

Filled in the gap of branches completing the right-hand side tree. I had moved all the pieces to that side to make it easier. I’ll have to move them to the top and other side as I progress towards the left. Still haven’t been able to attach the floating section.

I moved the floating section into puzzle void where I thought it may connect onto the puzzle. I hadn’t found a way to connect it yet. Although I didn’t connect the floating section, I did connect the two right-hand top sections to the bottom section by solving most of the branch area on the right-hand side. Just need to fill in those gaps…

Birthday Jigsaw Puzzle Progress – Puzzle 8 of 10 – Part 24 – Right-hand Side Tree

Oooooh! I’m getting so close now! With every section I complete, it looks better and better and there are less and less pieces surrounding the puzzle. I managed to piece together a little floating section that I left on the roadside and finished off the tree trunk of the second right-most tree. I also pieced a couple more pieces onto the middle barrier section so I’ve tried pieces here and there and it’s all coming together.

And creating another branch section in the top right-hand side corner. I’ve also spread out from the boxy middle section with more white area and branches. I feel like it’s all going to close in on itself and it’s going to be like, poof! Complete!

That middle section is really squared off now and I made a bit of progress starting a new section of white with twigs which I’m sure will ‘branch out’ towards the mossy looking trees below.

So my progress? Pretty sure one piece added to the left-hand side of the middle barrier section and I threw a random piece into the middle of the road… Not what I’d call a successful puzzle session.
