I needed something short and sweet that would give me a break from Mrs Charlie, so I pulled this one out of my stash.
A 73 piece puzzle I could finish in an hour or so was just what I needed.

Lulled into a false sense of complacency, and watching the Broncos losing badly while doing it, I made mistakes.

First off, I wondered why my instructions seemed to show an extra hole in the top of the fireplace. Not to worry, I worked around things and used glue to secure things in place.
Then I thought I knew what I was doing and didn’t read the instructions and just carried on my merry way.

You know, there is sometimes a downside to using glue ha ha
I know what I’ve done but in the end the build still turned out pretty cute.

It’s not hard at all. It’s actually a very easy kit to make. It was all user error on my part. Maybe I was too invested in how badly the football was going.
