One of the jigsaws I got on Sunday was really old in it's original box. Quite a small number of pieces but when I started it they were curled with age, which made it a bit awkward.

I also did another practice piece on the pyrography blanks. Used another different nib and did manage a lighter touch on this one. I also sanded the blank down before I started.

I spent this morning ding household chores, some washing, and making sure the cats were okay as 'mum and dad' were not going to be around until tonight. Then I finished the puzzle before I went out for a short walk.

I think this little puzzle is a great picture. I went off to the park, my knee and ankle did not want to work well today so I just made it to the park, sat on a bench for a bit and then came home via the shop as we needed milk. It was still drizzly and has been grey and misty all day. Took a couple plants which looked bright despite the weather.

Have tried one more practice piece, tried a face which was probably a bit too ambitious, but it is all getting me used to the tool.

No plans for the evening, I have some dvd's if there is nothing on the television.
