The puzzles usually live on the dining room table but sometimes we actually eat there so I have to able to move it. When I had cats, I would use a piece of hardboard to cover the puzzle to keep the pieces where I left them.Elaine Jordannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-72574517052922297832023-04-06T15:32:02.940-04:002023-04-06T15:32:02.940-04:00Ooh, it's so exciting to see those first leave...Ooh, it's so exciting to see those first leaves emerging.

I would be in heaven, I love tulips. I managed to get some new bulbs in the ground this winter and am so happy they have taken I have a few leaves pushing through.<br /><br />We have a puzzle board just like your blackboard only bigger, my husband made it, a large piece of wood with edges, nothing fancy. It easily takes a 1000 piece puzzle. It lives under the sofa when not in use.sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-71836164342913832122023-04-05T14:06:45.300-04:002023-04-05T14:06:45.300-04:00Oh I love your spring photos!

In a few weeks, hopefully we will get a few sprigs of green here and there. <br />We have a puzzle board that I bought my husband for Christmas - it's quite large and it has little drawers to keep the pieces in, which makes it great to separate colours, etc.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212465957211363245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-89652707286270286382023-04-05T10:27:10.547-04:002023-04-05T10:27:10.547-04:00The purple crocuses look lovely.

They always flower later than my neighbours, which means I can enjoy daffodil heaven for longer :-)<br />The Art gallery looks amazing and I know I would enjoy all the art displays. Lucky you to finally get to visit there.meandmysmallcornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124121125104621376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-39318555650771225652023-04-03T08:29:00.181-04:002023-04-03T08:29:00.181-04:00I need to look into that puzzle mat - however that...I need to look into that puzzle mat - however that blow-up part in the middle 100% looks like something that the kids would steal and hit each other with. Cats are like puzzle kryptonite.

It's such a relief to not be freezing all the time. Plus I think the increased light is really helping mood-wise.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088145312661308233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-22861273992116360262023-04-03T08:25:28.819-04:002023-04-03T08:25:28.819-04:00I know, on the days I'm working from home and ...I know, on the days I'm working from home and the kids are at school, I marvel at how everything just stays put. Nothing to clean up!

Our old puzzle solution is similar to yours - I used to use a huge old bulletin board for the puzzle pieces and then I'd stick it under my bed when we weren't using it. But I wasn't as clever as you and didn't think about putting a cover on it. We have lost lots of puzzles pieces under the bed thanks to the kitten! But my mother in law recently got us a roll up mat that has been helpful. It's something like this and works pretty well: https://www.amazon.com/Lavievert-Storage-Environmental-Friendly-Material/dp/B07V36BDV4/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=roll+up+puzzle+mat&qid=1680452121&sprefix=roll+up+puzz%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-7Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759839416399593648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-44476218754878450012023-03-31T13:01:06.812-04:002023-03-31T13:01:06.812-04:00Ha ha!

"Honestly why do we have furniture at all, let's just throw a bunch of pillows on the floor and call it a day." This made me laugh so hard.<br /><br />I am so jealous of your spring. We still have snow on the ground and while I have seen two or three clumps of brave little purple crocuses on my afternoon walks, I have yet to see a daffodil! Soon we'll catch up to you, though, and I'll probably be complaining about picking up pinecones and sticks, too.NGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056381269070465424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-47593248025050375682023-03-31T12:16:52.717-04:002023-03-31T12:16:52.717-04:00What a lovely springtime post!

Such gorgeous colours and a big boost to the mood after a long, dark, dreary winter <3 I also love the puzzle though there is little else in this world equally frustrating as ONE missing puzzle piece.<br /><br />Also, I feel this 100%: "Honestly why do we have furniture at all, let's just throw a bunch of pillows on the floor and call it a day." I think this about keeping the house relatively neat and tidy. It's just a constant race to the bottom! Why do I fight the chaos?! I know why - outer order really does lead to inner calm for me. But still...things never stay clean!!!Elisabethhttp://elisabeth-frost.comnoreply@blogger.com
