I wanted to try and make some progress again. I grabbed one of the little bins with some assorted pieces, and I spread them out, trying to match some.
It took a little while, but in the end, I found a few bits that fit together. 😊

It's still going at a very slow pace, but hey, I did manage to get some pieces together! 😁

Early December 2025, I started working on the most difficult puzzle I'd ever tried. I made decent progress, and then I lost some interest. I tried a few more times, but it got harder and harder, and progress was becoming really slow paced. Which didn't help to keep me motivated. 😔
I'm still interested in finishing this puzzle, at some point. But, maybe because it's so challenging, it's going a lot slower than the Dumbo and Dreamcatcher Wolf went.
But, I don't want to give up. 😊 I just need to work on it when I'm in the right mindset...
