This jigsaw puzzle may be impossible – at least for me. Am I intimidated? Yeah, a little. Will I give up? NO!
I’ve never tried to work a puzzle where you can’t tell which part you’re working on. Pieces seem to fit together, but there are several other pieces that also seem to fit in the same place. The colors are similar, and it’s not clear what the pieces will form if I get them together correctly.
ARRGH! I finally decided to ‘cheat.’ On the back of each of the pieces is a letter, so I can tell which is up and which is down, and have gathered all the “A’s,” for example, and am finally making some progress. It sure doesn’t make it easy, but it keeps me from declaring defeat – something I’m determined NOT to do.
I still can’t tell which are owl pieces or background pieces for sure. I do have some eyes put together.
I’m now declaring this kind of a character-building exercise. I won’t get any awards if I finally get this puzzle put together; but since I don’t have anyone standing over me asking when I’ll clean up the ‘mess,’ I can concentrate on trying to make progress one section at a time – hopefully declaring ‘victory’ some time in the future…😛😜
My other problem on this post is that the pictures show correctly when they first start to appear on the page, but then when they fully appear, they turn upside down. I’ve tried to fix the pics three times and I officially give up. Maybe the pieces are doing the same thing on my puzzle table!

Ah, when that happens to me, before I upload the picture to WordPress, I open the picture on my laptop and look for a little icon that has a curvy arrow at the top and click it several times eturn the image. Save the image again and then whrn you upload it, it will be upright.
If you don’t see the icon I’m referring to you can look through the options in the image viewer to Edit, Modify, View, or something similar to find it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried some stuff, but just wasn’t successful today.

I understand. When you figure it out, you’ll always know and wonder how you didn’t see it before. I have another friend who took his concert videos sideways because he didn’t know how to hold his phone. It happens. We all start at the beginning.

I don’t know what makes photos do that, sometimes I think it’s the angle of the phone when you take the picture. But I usually do the same thing Sheila suggests, and that seems to take care of it. 👍🏻 I love jigsaw puzzles too, but now I do them on my iPad because with a cat, you can’t really get much done with actual pieces on the table. 😂
