Development process of a jigsaw puzzle "in between the 2000-pcs puzzle"

It's too hot to just sit there in the dark living room (keeping the heat out of the house),

but doing nothing in the evening isn't really an option.

So I started knitting

Development process of a 2000pcs. "Favole"-jigsaw puzzle - started 25th July 2026 - update: 8th August

A friend and I have the same jigsaw puzzle in our collection. And we’ve had it for at least 15-17 years.

The first brilliant idea: we’ll start assembling it at the same time.

The second brilliant idea: we’ll only work on it during our weekly phone calls.

Crazy? No! Okay, here we go

The Saloon (der Salon) Polesden Lacey

Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle

Polesden Lacey owes its current magnificent architecture and furnishings to a lady by the illustrious name of Margaret Greville, who was a highly respected hostess of major social events in her day. She entertained, so to speak, the crème de la crème.

Her father, William McEwan, a fairly wealthy Scottish brewer, purchased Polesden Lacey in 1906, and she expanded and remodeled it in the early 20th century. In 1923, she welcomed King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (the parents of Elizabeth II) on their honeymoon.

There had already been a country estate on the site as early as the 14th century, though it was significantly smaller. Starting in 1630, it changed hands more and more frequently, and the new owners occasionally made some alterations to the medieval structure.

Then, as mentioned, the McEwan family purchased the estate and spent a considerable amount of money—and presumably enlisted the help of skilled craftsmen—to build and furnish this magnificent structure. When Margaret died in 1942, she bequeathed Polesden to the National Trust, the United Kingdom’s historic preservation organization. Since 1948, parts of it have been open to visitors, and it ranks among the most popular destinations—as evidenced by visitor numbers.

As usual you can find many whimsical pieces related to the theme of the jigsaw puzzle. Here, most whimsies are multi-pieces

Terminated due to incompleteness

During the Megamarathon I started assembling an Innovakids Jigsaw puzzle and terminated it due to time constraints. It would have taken me too much time to finish the pink sky

I restarted it by assembling the clouds, the inscription as well as the frame, just to find out that 4 pieces are missing.

This is where I decided to terminate this jigsaw puzzle

A summer sunrise at Eibsee with the Zugspitze in the background

Photographer Dieter Meyrl's breathtaking landscape photograph perfectly captures the impressive scenery of the Wetterstein Mountains. The Zugspitze is Germany's highest mountain; it is, of course, located in the Alps and is 2,962 meters high.
