Yesterday's wolf

@DobbyTheHouseElk

There are some on Ebay I just looked

Thanks.

@DobbytheHouseElk I got it from www.jigsawpuzzlesdirect.co.uk Was the only place I found one that I hadn't done and at a reasonable price.

@DobbytheHouseElk have just looked and they don't have any but these people do www.jigsawsuk.co.uk/products/shop-by-theme/artists/mike-jupp/?filter_pieces=1000-pieces

Might need to buy some more

@tapdancingmum all out of stock. Haven’t found a new mike jupp for ages.

Hardest jigsaw I've ever done...Harry Potter with gold frames

I truly love a jigsaw puzzle but I really don’t believe in looking at the picture whilst you do it. Feels like cheating to me. My husband thinks I puzzle wrong but I just don’t think it’s much of a puzzle if you’re looking to see where the pieces go?!

Just finished my last puzzle though - butterflies. There was a piece missing but by the time I realised that I already felt like I’d won.......

.....maybe I am puzzling incorrectly if I think completing a puzzle is ‘winning’

2000 pieces. This one tested my piece sorting skills and took 2 late nights to complete. Frustratingly a piece missing and I hate that-messes with my sense of order and completeness.

My people!

I have 2 on the go most of the time, one I am doing and one DD is helping with. Currently working on a Wasgij, and this is the latest joint effort. We've done the 1980s sweets one as well!

My teen dd has been doing loads of lockdown puzzles!! They're addictive 😁

That puzzle looks great @Bloodylovecheese Where’s it from?

TK Maxx at Christmas

I’m of the star at the pieces and you will be inspired. Not helping my current very tricky horses 🐎 jigsaw.4 horses done, 15 to go!

I started doing jigsaws last year. I find them really calming and have done lots recently. Wish I'd taken pictures now as I'd love to join in!

I keep buying the Gibson ones and yes at £15-£20 a pop they're turning into an expensive habit.

After a few glasses of wine a few weekends ago I drunk bought 5 on eBay

One of the was from the queens jubilee - a mixture of different photos over the years and that was fun! The others are nice scenes.

I've done them all now so bought 3 more yesterday! One called Piccadilly, one called London calling and one called 'morning catch' which is a scene from a fishing village.

I've managed to convert one of my friends to doing them so she's doing them after me (after a weeks quarantine in the garage) but after all this I'd definitely be up for a puzzle swap @RedRed9 as I've got loads and it's getting pricey

DH keeps 'helping' with them at the moment, particularly towards the end of them (glory hunter!) and I've warned him off with the threat of a Chinese burn next time he puts a piece in

Ooh I did take one of the jubilee one when it was nearly done!

Wow, all those jigsaws look beautiful.

We've got into our jigsaws in lockdown, particularly my dd, 13.

Can I ask you all where you find yours? Any brilliant websites you'd recommend? Thanks!

We get all our jigsaws from a charity shop and then donate them back once we've done them

I love jigsaws I swap them with my sister and then give them to the charity shop when we've both finished. This was my latest one

We're going to try a diamond painting next. Not sure how good they are but they seem a good alternative to jigsaws as I'm struggling to get hold of any decent ones.

I love jigsaws too! Doing jigsaws has helped me through some difficult times. I like to listen to Radio 2 and do a jigsaw at the same time - v calming. I particularly like 'bygone' scenes.

@Girliefriendlikespuppies I have that beach scene jigsaw!

My library lends them out

I've been doing a few jigsaws. There's a YouTube channel I just discovered Karen's jigsaws. Can't do links on this. Found out about Cloudberries jigsaws. They are a bit dearer than the usual brands but worth it I think.

Bumping this thread. Anyone else doing jigsaws. I liked the Gibson's sweet Memories ones.

I love jigsaws, I have gone back to work now so I can get them out again
