I Cheated

Puzzle - 1

A good friend gave me one of those "mystery puzzles." You know the ones, where you have no picture of what the finshed puzzle will look like, just a short mystery story that is supposed to give you clues and help you put it together. I read the story and I read the additional clues that were printed in mirror image (to make it even harder, I guess). I worked on the thing for a couple of days and was getting nowhere.

So I went online and search to see if I could find a picture of the finished puzzle. I found one, and printed it. It's not a great photo, but it's better than nothing. Now maybe I can make some progress. About half the puzzle is brown, so I don't think this is going to be a piece of cake, even with the picture.

Bless your heart! I forgot about no picture and clue in reverse image!
Still your friend?

I spend a lot of time putting puzzles together, but never had one like this. I would never be able to do this. In fact, I have never seen a puzzle like this.

Well done in finding the picture of the completed puzzle! In these times, who needs the frustration and the aggravation working that our for yourself?

What time is dinner? If I jump in the car and drive too fast, I might could make it. Oh, I'd probably only get to Knoxville by dinnertime. Shucks!

I'm about to press binding strips in half for the Winter tablerunner I';m almost finished making. Sadly, have almost run out of winter fabric, too.

Hugs!

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
