This is absolutely beautiful. I love it! This is your first puzzle created on this site Gypso, congratulations on a job very well done. It took me a few days to complete but so worth all the effort, just gorgeous, thanx :)

This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it. It is also the largest multi-color puzzle I did, and it was so much fun to solve. I really hope that you will make more puzzles for us to solve.
#4: Gypso (Gypso) on Aug 22, 2007
Thank you for the lovely comments. You are all so kind :D

I'm not sure if I'll ever attempt another puzzle Z Trn. I have a new found respect for all the authors on this site!
Another heart felt thank you to every single one of you clever little puzzle makers!

Wow, Gypso! I finally went back and did your first puzzle. I've opened it a couple of times, and said, "Hmmm, not today!"

Well worth the effort, though! This is really beautiful!

PS. I'm glad you kept making puzzles even though you said you didn't think you would!
#15: Gypso (Gypso) on Oct 8, 2007
Awwww! Thank you Arduinna. You're bringing on the love fest.:D
#16: Yulia (yug) on Oct 13, 2007

#20: Jane Butcher (jane-o) on Dec 12, 2007
I was thinking cross stitch. I especially like it when challenging puzzles have a great picture and even a grandma to go with them. Thank you.
#21: Bionerd (nieboo) on Dec 12, 2007
I LOVE cross stitching..it's my other hobby when I'm not doing this
#22: Gypso (Gypso) on Dec 12, 2007
Aww, thank you Jane. Grandmas stories are pretty cool.

I love cross stitching too Bionerd. I think that a lot of people here do too. It makes sense. They two share patterned grids. I wonder if anyone has ever cross stitched a piece from one of these puzzles?
#23: Bionerd (nieboo) on Dec 12, 2007
I haven't, but I do get mixed up now when I count from my patterns because the blocks on my patterns are 10 boxes while the boxes here are five boxes. haha.
#24: Gypso (Gypso) on Dec 12, 2007
I've had the same problem. And as my eyes have weakened, I need larger print and very strong light. Pillows propped behind me, a bed buddy around my neck and a wrist brace... Very sad. lol
#25: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Feb 19, 2008
AWESOME!! I got it finished this weekend..beautiful!
#26: Gypso (Gypso) on Feb 19, 2008
Thank you so much Naneki. An "awesome" from such an accomplished puzzle creator as you is a great compliment indeed. :)
#27: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Feb 19, 2008
blush..I think you give me too much credit

Luna, if you click on "Forum" you will be able to see all the general topics and all the conversations on the puzzles you have completed. Of course, you may not see this, if you don't figure that much out! Hope to see you around here!
#30: Gypso (Gypso) on Mar 4, 2008
You are so correct Arduinna. I was about to send Luna a note of encouragement and realized that she might not know how to get here so as to read it. Hmmm. Anyone have an idea how to let someone who is unfamiliar with the site know how to get to the puzzle comments via the forum?
#31: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Mar 4, 2008
make a puzzle to let them know
#32: Gypso (Gypso) on Mar 4, 2008
Great idea Naneki. I nominate you! hee hee
Honestly it's a great idea. I just don't know what I'd make. Or if I could. :)
#33: Deana L (ffswife) on Jun 9, 2008
I have no idea how long ago I started this puzzle, but I finally got around to finishing up in the middle of the night last night! What a beautiful design Gyps! Very nicely done!
#34: Gypso (Gypso) on Jun 11, 2008
Thank you Deana. :)
I hope that you got some sleep?
#35: Deana L (ffswife) on Jun 11, 2008
Eh... I'm expecting to be awake in the middle of the night on occasion for awhile. *sigh* At least I have nice puzzles to keep me company! :)
#36: Gypso (Gypso) on Jun 11, 2008
You can't leave it like that Deana!
Why will you be awake in the middle of the night??
#37: Deana L (ffswife) on Jun 11, 2008
I CAN leave it like that. :)

Trust me... you don't wanna know. :|
#38: Gypso (Gypso) on Jun 12, 2008
Oh Dear!
Good luck with whatever it is. :)
#39: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Aug 27, 2008
Nicely done!
#40: Gypso (Gypso) on Aug 27, 2008
Thank you Adam! :-)
#41: Jota (jota) on Dec 16, 2008

This puzzle was fun even on the second time around!
#44: Kathleen Carney (lefty45) on Apr 3, 2012
Beautiful! So cool to see old world charm in a new way. Good for you (and your Grandma!) Very challenging too! :)

Muy bonito.

Felicidades.
#50: BlackCat (BlackCat) on May 15, 2017
Quite, quite beautiful and a very fun solve. No guessing.
#51: D Kramer (DsMum) on Jun 16, 2021
I would like to translate this into a quilt. May I have your permission to do so? If so, I would like to credit you for the design.
#52: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jun 17, 2021
I don't think Gypso has been active here in some time.

Nope, last login was in 2008.
#53: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jun 17, 2021
Hm. I feel like Gypso was back with another username much more recently, but the most recent one that I can find is username Gypso Thompson, who last logged on in 2013.

Hm. Then I searched my e-mail archives, which led me to a Facebook posting from 2016 in the WebPBN Facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/webpbn/permalink/10153906960397459/
I followed that to her profile on Facebook. There are recent postings! Yay!

Estupendo puzzle, trabajoso de resolver pero vale la pena el esfuerzo.

Una lástima que su autor lo haya abandonado y ya no responda a los comentarios.
