Wow! I certainly haven’t been keeping up the posts like I said I was going to on a daily basis. Oh well, I guess that’s life with a five and a half month old. I haven’t gotten to work on it much even when he’s asleep because I want to try and spend at least a couple of hours with my husband in the evening before we go to bed.  I’m not trying to win any fastest finish contests anyway.  Maybe I should be going for the “Longest Time to Complete” record! :o)  UPDATE:  It only took 9.5 years!

Here’s a couple of pictures of what 6,000 sorted pieces looks like…Yikes!

And here are a couple of pictures of the border as I was assembling it. It is now done with the exception of two or three pieces that I didn’t catch in my initial sort. I’ll find them later, I’m sure. I have been working on the hot air balloons and those have been fun. Next I will probably work on the clown fish. I think I have a few pics of the hot air balloons still on my camera that I haven’t downloaded. I’ll add those in a separate post in a bit.
