Ravensburger "Puzzle Moment", 2025 

Completed 5th September 2026

 9 pieces for me :-) 

  

I bought this jigsaw puzzle in 2012, opened the box and laughed. I closed the box and posted a message in our forum about a "puzzle relay." This means that anyone interested can sign up to assemble the puzzle and then pass it on to the next person interested. The sender charges the shipping costs—that's all.

In fact, the "hiking trail" took more than 13 years until now. After its final participant completed it, I received it divided into 9 plates

About this masterpiece:

The painting is named "A Sunday Afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat. Pointillism, Oil on canvas, painted between 1884-1886. Dimension: 207 x 308 cm  **  On display at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Forum Meeting in Vallendar, Germany - jigsaw puzzles completed 28th + 29th August 2026

 A forum meet-up means meeting up with friends in a lovely hotel, having lots of chats, doing jigsaw puzzles and taking photos. Everyone brings something to eat; some sit working on a big jigsaw puzzle, whilst others like to do several small ones whilst chatting with different friends from time to time.

Last weekend, we met in Vallendar at a guesthouse run by the Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement. If you want to learn more about this worldwide community, please check wikipedia  ... the Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement was founded in 1914 in Vallendar, Germany.

Vintage Posters by D-Toys: "Les Prevoyants de l'Avenir" 

a huge celebration with nightly fireworks, marking the 10-Millionth member of a pension fund in France 1893. At that time, the Eiffel Tower had been standing for exactly 4 years—it was built as the entrance gate to the 1889 World's Exhibition.

 Admission to the celebration on the Champ de Mars cost 50 centimes. Here’s a brief aside on purchasing power (today, 50 centimes is worth about €2.00–2.50) - but what could you buy with that in 1893? For example

    1.3 kg of bread
    2–3 liters of milk
    a plate of stew at a soup kitchen
    2–3 daily newspapers
    a ride on the omnibus carriage in Paris
    admission to the celebration at the Eiffel Tower

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: 22nd 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

 

Day 1 (25th July) 

unboxing with Herfried, the Octopus. It was amazing opening the foil and bag for the first time after this jigsaw puzzle has been produced and sealed

and my friend

 

Day 2 (1st August)

 and my friend

 

 Day 3 (8th August)

 

I started to assemble the frame and my friend worked on the mask

 

Day 4

I managed to complete the frame and moved everything onto two white boards. Day 4 brought some success on the long hair of the lady and the chest of the man. 

My friend worked on the mask and the robe of the lady.

 

 Day 5

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
