Hiking at Dongyanshan (東眼山 : 小百岳:022)




1,000 Piece Miniature Puzzle Building ...

Here goes!
It's been years since I've built a puzzle. Someone I know posted a few for sale and this one here spoke to me. I decided to take it off her hands as the price was right. 

The ad said that it was a 'miniature' puzzle but I didn't really know what that meant. She showed me that the puzzle pieces were about half the size of regular puzzle pieces which made building this puzzle more of a challenge. 

I enjoyed every moment of this! It was oddly satisfying! It took me about 1.5 weeks to finish the puzzle. I am inspired to try another one though I do like having my kitchen table back for the moment!

Getting there!

Building the shelves was probably the hardest part

Done and already sold ... thanks social media!
