is always puzzle season, and these little pieces make me think of people every time.
Some of them are so beautifully patterned they appear lit from within,
The quiet ones stand back,
The ones that are outwardly dark often hold lovely promise,
and some are aligned with the stars.
Whatever their appearance, they are endlessly fascinating
even when we're practicing social distancing.
In the meantime, John and I will lift a glass to you and yours, with thanks for your friendship in this most puzzling year.
Such a witty post Win and I do love a good jigsaw puzzle! Wishing you and John all the best in 2021! xx
ReplyDeleteAnd right back to you, Zsuzsa - may this be a bright and magnificent year!
DeleteHi to you both. As Crafters we are lucky to have so many distractions and lovely people to communicate with. Long may that continue. Loving your jigsaw story. They are indeed like people, all different but each one has an important part to play. Sending creative hugs, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteHi, Angela, and thanks for stopping by to comment! I've always had the feeling when I'm doing a puzzle that each piece has something to say and a gift to give (if we can just find it ;-) )...just like each person on the planet. Happy New Year, my friend, and see you in 2021!
Deletei especially like that last photo. I wonder what it would be like to take a quiet afternoon post pandemic and work on a puzzle together with friends? With a glass of wine of course.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea, Eileen, and I CAN imagine it. Let's put it on the agenda, wine and all, shall we?! xo
DeleteAnd all you can wish for in the new year for you and John as we puzzle on through this pandemic.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracy - if only the pandemic were as easily solved as the puzzles, we'd be done with it in a matter of days! Here's to 2021!
Delete... I was typing a comment and whoops... it's gone. So here goes again: Happy New Year to you and yours. I love your blogpost, so well written. I hope we can all have some more normality in 2021 ! Corrie xo
ReplyDeleteMany thanks on all counts, Corrie, not the least being your persistence (Blogger is really playing silly buggers these days!)! May 2021 be your best year yet! xo
DeleteI love your artwork Win, and I love your words too.
ReplyDeleteMay your eyes fill with stars, your mouth with laughter and your life with multiple happiness, my friend.
My very best wishes for you and yours for a most wonderful new year!
So many thanks, Sim - it sounds like I've got a wonder-full year ahead! May your wishes for me rebound to you heaped up and running over triple! xo
