My Latest Obsession

Welcome to my latest obsession. It’s an Italian scene that I would love to just be able to walk into.

I was at Hobby Lobby the other day picking up some art supplies for the Intaglio Printmaking class I just started, which will be another blog entry in and of itself, and I made the mistake of walking by the puzzles.

I tried to go crazy but was reigned in and walked out with only 2.

This one, a 1000 piece Cobble Hill I decided to tackle as a warm up to the 2000 piece alternate that I got.  I haven’t done a puzzle in years but thought it would be good fun and maybe even therapeutic.  Well it’s the opposite of therapeutic since now I’m obsessed with getting it done.  I can’t walk by the table without trying to place a piece, and my typical veg out in front of the TV evenings have been delayed. 

This is after 3 nights worth of work.  Ellie, thanks for the help on the 1st night.

So yes, I spent my Friday night hovering over a puzzle and drinking a few beers, one of which I wasted since I was so engrossed in the puzzle that I forgot I even had a beer, yes, that’s a man crime.  3 AM rolls around and I couldn’t drag myself away until 3:15.  HAH.

Oh well, I’ll post a pic of the finished product when I get there.  Soon I hope, I need some sleep!
