We didn&#8217;t exactly plan for each puzzle to be harder than the one before but this one, although only 1,000 pieces, was considerably harder than any of the preceding three. It&#8217;s a photo of a tapestry called \u201cGarden of Delight\u201d made by William Morris (March 24, 1834 &#x2013; October 3, 1896). He was, according to the bio on the box, &#x201c;a British textile designer, poet, novelist, translator, and socialist activist.&#x201d; There were times when we despaired of ever finishing it, but, eventually we did. There were times when I basically picked up every piece and tried it in every available spot until I found where it went or put it aside and went on to the next piece, starting over once I had been through all the pieces. In that way, eventually, it came together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned, we&#8217;ve been doing puzzles recently.
