Re: Doing a jigsaw puzzle again. Second one this week.

I don't have the space to leave a puzzle in progress out, not to mention our feline fur kids that wouldn't leave it alone. 

I have a jigsaw puzzle app on my iPad and work a few daily.

I have mine spread across the dining room table. DH and I will eat at the kitchen bar until puzzle is done. Luckily I have covers for the puzzle to protect from nosy cats

funny you should ask. Having never been interested, I suddenly got the urge. I bought a nice puzzle board and some sorting boxes. Now I'm trying to figure out how how experienced2A2B70A3-C5D7-4E67-861E-729865CEC0E2.jpeg1DD3067D-9209-4895-9563-D7F33290494B.jpeg puzzlers begin. Seems like finding all the edge pieces would be smart, yes? Then maybe sort by color?? Did I mention how helpful my cat and kitten are? Oh yes indeed. Walking up and down the tilted board, stealing pieces right in front of me etc. 😁And using the felted board as a scratcher now that is very naughty. 
I will happily take any puzzle tips you have for me as I don't know what I'm doing lol


She's really cute, @smoochy

I don't have the patience for that. Also, I have cats. My late mother used to do them, though.

Hubbs loves them. I got him a 1,000 piece for Christmas. Me,I'd rather do crosswords.

Re: Doing a jigsaw puzzle again. Second one this week.

I have been doing jigsaws on line for years.  I like Jigsaw Explorer and Thejigsaw puzzles.com  They change every day explorer has 2 or 3 new and thejigsawpuzzles has about 5 or 6 new every day.  If you click on the bottom to make them bigger there are no ads.

@Kachina624 I'd appreciate in hearing what you thought about that site? If you don't mind.

Re: Doing a jigsaw puzzle again. Second one this week.

My husband almost always has a puzzle in progress but he is no longer finishing them quickly.  I am encouraging him to go with 500 pieces, rather than his usual 1000.
