As soon as I saw this Puffin puzzle set offered by Pauline at Pauline’s Gifts on Essex Ave, I knew I would need one for Pat’s Puffin Emporium at 44 Main St. It’s turning into a challenge I wasn’t exactly expecting. 443 (!!) pieces, many of them pretty darn tiny, and 31 instruction steps before I have a completed puffin on my hands. I set a goal to have the puzzle done by the time FOB Paula Ryan O’Brien came back to Gloucester for a visit in mid August. Let’s just say we aren’t having fun with it yet.
We are up to step 11 and this is our progress. When I took the photo for this post was the first time I saw the puffin feet looking like puffin feet. Step 12 is proving a killer and I am ready to call the project DOA. What’s your call? Forge on or forget it?






Forge on! Ask for help. Call for a 9 or 10-year old who is interested. Someone of that age has grown up doing Lego kits since they were 3 and will figure out how to proceed.
