This past week, Mom and I started a puzzle. I confess that my brother did a small bit to help, but mostly it was just me and Mom. I think we started on Monday and were finished by Thursday at lunch. It is a 500 piece puzzle from Buffalo Games.
I was truly surprised that after I left Thursday morning, and then returned at noon, Mom had put in the final pieces - some of the rough water on the right hand side.
I have been playing - Just for FUN - in my embroidery software creating faces.
Because I had failed to save the working file for my male face, I decided to create a new one. For this one I added glasses and a mustache.
---and yes, I did remember to save the working file. Ha ha.
Next up with this "lady"
The green of the face is not stitches, but an applique fabric. This is only a mock-up. I have not yet tried to stitch out the design.
The main point of playing with these faces was to re-learn the finer points and tricks to working with the software. That was the reason for making the second face as a machine applique file. I have also been watching a lot of educational videos on the software.
Since I have the two faces, I am linking up with Nicole at the Friday Face Off .
Have a great weekend.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

The embroidery faces are unique and creative.
Love your embroidery faces, great idea. And just for fun is always good. That'a a huge puzzle you made, well done. Happy Friday, hugs, Valerie
...you have more patience than I do. I gave upon puzzles years ago. Have a wonderful weekend Gene.
Nice faces and good work on the puzzle!
Buffalo Games has some VERY nice puzzles - and they are FUN to put together - that one came out VERT nicely!! I'm glad you're having FUN playing with the embroidery software - and making faces. I agree - "Just for fun" and no deadlines is the way to go - ;))
That's a beautiful puzzle you and your mom put together. That second embroidery face reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz. Maybe it's the green and the nose. Nice you are learning this software, Gene.
Having fun is my plan too! Nice puzzle that your finished with your mom. Great job on learning more with the embroidery...need to add that to my list so it happens!
That's a pretty puzzle Gene. I have one I started in January and haven't touched since. Time to get back to it-thanks for the reminder. And I like your embroidery faces. Do you do this on your computer or on your machine. Have a super weekend.
I haven't done a jig saw puzzle in years, but when I owned a summer cottage we always had one on the go up there, and anyone was free to add a piece or two. Maybe I'll pick one up at a garage sale and do it again for old time's sake.
I love when you create just for fun. As you know I am your biggest fan, so I love love love these faces. However, Mr. M. and I work Buffalo puzzles all winter. We have hundreds of them. We do the 1,000 pieces. Buffalo has the best fitting and great artists for their puzzles. I do like this one you and your mom did. I hope she is feeling well. Your are a good Son. Thank you for joining FFO and have a fabulous weekend.
I eat my breakfast almsot every day while doing a puzzle.
You are working majic with your software, Gene. I love the applique' piece. I look forward to doing anything "just for fun" again. Since we moved in April I've been traveling or we've had company. This means I still have a ton of boxes to unpack. I'm looking forward to getting back to the sewing machine.
