puzzling parasols

Fewer pieces mean quicker assembly, which means another completed Springbok!

Perhaps I could get used to 500 (rather than 1000-plus) pieces. Particularly as I fear my brain is becoming rather addled by the heat.

In fact, a Japanese umbrella would be quite handy right about now: the perfect sun shade for walking to and from the allotments...

  1. Beautiful puzzle! We're currently on 100 piece puzzles for our 6 year old, but the 500 looks like it could be family friendly as well.

  4. Ooh, pretty! I was just outside trying to eradicate out-of-control honeysuckle and autumn clematis (they've taken over my intentional ground cover), and as I realized how satisfying (if hard!) that kind of methodical problem-solving work was for me, I thought, "Kind of like puzzles! Must put together another one soon." So this is reinforcement!

  6. Very pretty puzzle. I like 500 piece jigsaws best. What lovely designs - we always seem to have boring snowy scenes or puppies!

  7. What a pretty puzzle.

    I've learned to limit myself to 500 piece puzzles unless there are plenty of sharp-eyed people around. Any puzzle is great for slowing down teenagers- they can't resist them.
