100 or Less to Go!

100 or Less to Go!

I am about 100 or so pieces away from being done with Section 1!  I can hardly believe it.  I know I should be making a huge push to get those last 100 pieces finished, but boy have they been difficult.  I’m down to the pieces that are between the water line and the start of the clownfish and it all looks the same, and it’s all bluish…so there’s not even much color variation to help me out on this…

The Clownfish Have Reluctantly Surrendered

The Clownfish Have Reluctantly Surrendered

They thought they would get the best of me, but NO, I would not let that happen.  The dreaded, but gorgeous clownfish are now finished with a couple of minor pieces still to find somewhere (still worried about the solid orange one….I am 99% sure it’s officially missing). I made a ton of progress in the last two days.  Amazingly enough, yesterday I got to work on it a bit while Derek was awake.  He kept coming in and out…

Apparently Not All “Life” is Created Equal

Apparently Not All “Life” is Created Equal

Okay, now before you go thinking that I’m getting all philosophical and religious, let me explain… As I posted in my previous entry, I believe I have run into my first official “missing” piece.  It’s the solid orange piece going into the tail fin of one of the orange clownfish.  I have searched and searched through all my remaining pieces and cannot find it.  Then, a couple of days ago I discovered the blog of a fellow “Life” puzzle enthusiast,…

If Only…

If Only…

If only I could have about 1 to 2 days of uninterrupted puzzling time (at least 6 to 8 hours in a day), I think I could have this baby finished!  It’s getting a lot easier to find the pieces now that I don’t have nearly as many of the same color to look through.  The clownfish are becoming much easier to complete; although, I am fairly certain I may have officially run across my first missing piece.  :o( It’s…

Clownfish, You Aren’t So Scary Anymore!

Clownfish, You Aren’t So Scary Anymore!

I’m happy to report that I am finally making some good headway with the clownfish.  It was really SLOW going there for a while, but I have made some really great progress in the last couple of days and I’m pleased with the results.  I don’t know how many pieces I have left, but I am definitely confident that I have less than 1,000 pieces left now….just not sure how much less.

At Long Last, I’m Back…

At Long Last, I’m Back…

After almost a month of not working on my puzzle due to being very sick with an extremely nasty flu / virus, I am happy to report that this morning I was able to start working on it again. It felt great to put in a few pieces, even though I didn’t get to spend very long with it. Now that I’m feeling pretty good again (and in the start of the 2nd trimester), I am hoping to get the…
