Puzzles -

Come in all shapes and sizes -

This is another jigsaw puzzle that my friend and I put together the other day -

By CEACO - Americana - 500 piece -

Then it was back to my Autumn Trees - ;))

I thought it was "done" - and had to set it aside when my friend came over to visit.
I was going to write up my post after she left. I had the photos loaded - then went to write the post - noticed those dang purple leaves - and thought "Crap!! - you're NOT done!! - You have to fix those leaves!!" - So Sherry was right on point!

I told her - I have to move those leaves - or it will bother me for eternity. But I won't need "Jack" (my seam Ripper) - I just need to take the top layer of tulle off - play with it a little - all of the "confetti" is still loose under there - and then replace the tulle. Katie mentioned that I should have some "fallen" leaves in the ground cover - so I'm going to add bits there, too.

I LOVE all of the input - that's what friends are for - and you gotta have friends - ;))

And I kept wondering how/why I missed that YELLOW tree with PURPLE leaves -

THEN - I figured it out -

I solved the puzzle - ;))

The "cover" photo - in the book for the "project" -

Doesn't match the "project" photo - in the book for the "project" - LOL - ;))

Do you see the extra tree in front - and the YELLOW tree with the PURPLE leaves? -

Yeah - so did I - that's why it looked OK to me -

Until I compared it to the "cover" photo above -

Now I don't feel so bad -

She couldn't copy her Autumn Trees either - LOL - ;))

Anyway - I took off the tulle -
And the YELLOW and PURPLE trees/leaves -

Switched the YELLOW and PURPLE trees -

Didn't like it -

And switched them back -

Then - I added bits of "fallen" leaves like Katie suggested -

Katie - is this what you had in mind? -

And this is where it is now -

The ORANGE - PURPLE - and RED trees are the same distance from the front -

The YELLOW tree is set a little farther back -

But right now they look like they all are on the same "plane" to me -

So I think I need to take some leaves off the bottom of the YELLOW one -

And that might fix it - ;))

So now - what do you think? -

There is nothing quite like a "community" project -

And I don't consider myself an artist -

So any and all input is greatly appreciated -

That's what friends are for - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
