My January goals are not lying neglected. I’ve done some extensive research on Pinterest and now have several ornament ideas pinned — hopefully a decision will be made soon. I’ve also pulled the dust covers off the quilting frame and the poppies. I’ve yet to have a proper look and decide what comes next there, but at least they’re out where they can’t hide from me.
My hexies have made progress, and I plan to add a few more once I’m done here. A nice, quiet way to finish off my weekend off work.
Yesterday was anything but quiet — we hosted a 60th birthday party for Tony. That meant a good tidy‑up beforehand, a cake baked, salads prepared, the BBQ busy, and a great time had by all. Our last guests left after one in the morning. I was up again by 7.30, but there wasn’t much cleaning to do thanks to all the help we had last night.
Once Tony surfaced, we got on with taking down our Christmas trees and putting everything away. The house feels big and bare again, but in a peaceful way. We’ve had a relaxing day since — eating leftovers and completing our puzzle together.

We’ve worked on it together, on and off, over the past week. This afternoon, Tony placed the final pieces into the sky. For those who need to know: the shark‑toothed Warhawk is attacking Japanese Zeros on a Pacific island runway. It’s a dramatic scene, I can almost hear the roar of the engines and smell the fires burning— a lovely puzzle to work on, and we enjoyed it very much.
Next pick is mine: a smaller, oval‑shaped 500‑piece puzzle showing an image of the English countryside. I’m looking forward to piecing this one together — something gentle after the aerial combat.

Well done on completeing that puzzle - not one I would have enjoyed though. However the countryside scene looks much more up my alley! Enjoy. xx
That was not a finish I was expecting but a great finish all the same.
The bunny will be cute x
Happy Birthday Tony. xxxx
The fighter plane puzzle looks like a tough one by my standards. Good job. I did several puzzles over the break for complete relaxation. I love the feel of snapping in another piece.
nice finish indeed! best wishes to your tony! new year is fun, clean slate and all that...hoping for lots of finishes for us both!
Birthday wishes to our favorite tech guy in Chookshed Zoom sessions!!
That puzzle does not look soothing to me, but kudos for taking turns. I don't mind the 1000 pieces, but the battle looks intense!
Between birthday and Christmas, I've acquired three new puzzles to tackle. I can't put them up until the tree comes down. The tree takes the puzzle spot. My tree comes down on Epiphany, so just a couple more days and I will be puzzling.
Hope you are able to make your goal with Jiffy's quilt!
Happy Birthday Tony, celebrated in style!

Doesn't your cat attack the jigsaws? I know mine would, it looks great We have a quiet house now too and I already miss the kids
You did get stuck in. Well done. I still haven’t done any more on mine. I will, once I’ve stopped being distracted with other things.
