I’m so sorry to hear you have RA. Arthritis is no joke. I suffer from it too and the joint throbbing comes and goes but when it flares up, it’s hard to even sit and puzzle. You are amazing that you get so much done. More power to you!!!
I respect and admire your honesty and openness about physical limitations. I have had issues that many people choose not to discuss (depression and ovarian cancer), but I find that openly talking about them helps reduce any stigma or embarrassment many people have. Kudos to you, Emilee! As far as puzzles go, I did Holly Carden’s H.H. Holmes’ Murder House and it was just fascinating; I’ve got a couple more of hers now on my wish list. Thank you for reminding me!
It’s been a slow puzzle month for me due to surgery recovery, but trying to catch up. I’m sorry you have to deal with RA. I have heard that is very common painful. I’m glad you have found a good way to adapt!
Hey friends!! Which puzzle did you love doing this month??? Let me know!! Also - as of right now my 10K celebration is now happening!! Click here to learn more: sweepwidget.com/c/81410-wx9u1vai
My sympathies for the RA - I deal with progressive MS and I too get affected by the weather - in my legs, not my hands fortunately! I love that you "had" to do 300 pc puzzles - clearly doing NO puzzles was not an option, lol!
I'm working on my first Le Puzz, matchbook covers. It's delightful although the fit is a tiny bit loose, it's not bothering me. The pieces are a nice size too for a 1000 piece puzzle!
Sometimes, I just don't feel like puzzling so I take a break. However long it takes for that feeling to go away that how long I take. I'm loving the six puzzles that I purchased from Five Below for $5 US. The 300 piece anime puzzles were de.bored brand (2 Chainman and 2 Spy X Family). The 500 pieces puzzles were Rose Art brand (Pop Tarts and Chester Cheetah). Chainsaw Man Mirrored Image is in my to do next pile. I've been eyeing Ravensburger puzzles. Some are on sale but either the ones I want are not on sale or sale price is still too rich for my blood.😉
I love the Bran Castle! I just finished a 750 piece by Ceaco but it had too much fur! It was called Leonardo, A Still Life. So far I’ve never had trouble with White Mountain but they do take up a lot of space. I have RA myself but so far I struggle along. 😢 I love all your puzzles!
Hi Emilee, very enjoyable video as always. I'm with you on the 1000 piece puzzles, while I enjoy them sometimes physical limitations and cats limit how many I do in a month. ( I can usually get a 300 or 500 piece puzzle done while the cats are napping). Currently working on a challenging 1000 piece White Mountain because it has globes on the image (Missy Piece) 😃

It has always been the worst in my hands. I think has to do with years of playing musical instruments. Just have to adapt!

Doesn't matter the piece count! If you like to do puzzles, you're a puzzler. Love smaller pieces!

Ouch $82 for the gradient puzzle 😮 I’m assuming that’s US money. The love stamp puzzle is too cute!
We are happy to hear that you loved the Prism puzzle, thank you for sharing!
I love it!

Of course not! What was I supposed to do just watch tv on the couch like a "normal person"
Have you tried the trefl prime jigsaws? They are thick chunky pieces like Gibsons.

We don't have Five Below in Washington but i've heard great things about their puzzles!

Thank you!! I've had people comment before things like "Real puzzlers only do 1000 pieces." and I'm thinking - la dee da
Enjoy you UA-cam
Thanks!
Hey Emily
