beyondwords
My name is Patsy. I'm addicted to jigsaws, and now Jigidi. I'm amazed at the huge collection of puzzles here to choose from. And the way the whole site works. I enjoy being part of wonderful communities here. And Jigidi University, where I learn so much. Thank you everybody.
I used to prefer puzzles with 400+ pieces, but have learned to enjoy medium and small puzzles too and now much prefer them (partly because I can do more).
I don't like lots of detail, which I find distracting. I prefer puzzles with several large sections or areas, or a close-up on a contrasting background, so I can sort pieces. Then I work a lot by shape. I like animals (especially cats, butterflies, birds, bees, spiders) and flowers, but sometimes enjoy others. Recently I've added sunsets and tree bark & roots to my list of favourites. (I love looking at the geometric/abstract designs and some scenery and crafts, but only rarely choose to actually do those puzzles.) I do both new and old puzzles, and have enough puzzles bookmarked for several more lifetimes!

You'll also find lots of pictures of plants and flowers here. Many of those are from my wonderful sister: pcteacher.
I joined Jigidi on 22 October 2017 and was last seen on 29 May 2023. I've solved 13788 puzzles (6.7 daily) and put together 1386909 pieces (678.2 daily)
