My least favorite part of working a jigsaw is sorting the pieces to get started. This is especially true with "shaped" puzzles like the one shown here. After dumping the puzzle onto a work surface, I sort the pieces that aren't edges into two trays leaving the border pieces on the table. With irregular-shaped puzzles it isn't always obvious which pieces are edges! I still attempt to sort them, but usually end up working the puzzle from the inside out rather than doing the border first. This one worked up fairly quickly once I got started.

Nice puzzle! I just don't have the patience to do them. Or the time.
It's my "de-stress" time....like when you watch your birds (or play Santa Balls).
Very pretty puzzle. How long did it take you to do it?
It's hard to put a timeframe on it since it's usually minutes snatched here and there. That's why I like keeping one set up all the time (somewhere it won't get in the way of everyday activities). I've always been good at being able to walk past a puzzle and see where a piece needs to go.
This one's really beautiful, Kelly!
I did the lighthouse twice (stress relief) and donated it to the Cancer Center. Thanks again!
Kelly,
As with the other puzzles which you have shared on your blog, this puzzle is beautiful too!
And I like the Woodland theme.
