I use to do puzzles, but needed the dinning room table for other important things, quilting.......... Now that I have my own sewing area may just start the puzzle thing again.

I love all kinds of puzzles, and I was good in Math in school. My maternal grandmother always grabbed the paper as soon as it came in the door while she was staying with us and worked the crossword. My mother did them as she got older and moved off the farm and had time on her hands. She did them almost up to the time of her death in the nursing home. I love to do them, and our local paper does have the the cryptoquote, which I sometimes find the only thing I read since they don't do a very good with local news.

Love to! I keep one going on a piece of batting so I can roll it up when it needs to be put aside for a while.

Love jig saw puzzles. Always have one set up in the TV room on my card table. I can't just sit and watch TV. I'm either crocheting, doing embroidery or jig saw puzzle. Course then there is cutting for a quilt. Have to keep my hands busy. I get the puzzles from Salvation Army. They are cheaper than Goodwill. I don't care if a piece here and there are missing. I like 750 or 1000 pieces. Any bigger and they won't fit on the table.

jigzone.com has thousands of puzzles to put together on line. nothing big and complicated. You can change the shapes and sizes of the puzzle pieces. If you like jigsaw puzzles, check this out. I have a card table I keep my puzzles on so I don't have to move them around and out of the way. This way, my puzzles have their own designated spot. I can work on them when I have time.

Since I've retired I don't have time for cross word puzzles. Too busy doing so many things now and no time, barely have time to read lol.

I don't know abt. that, Terrible at math as I stated and do Pretty darn good on my quilting... :roll: Or I think I do anyway. :lol: But Only do Basic Math, So as long as I know how to read a ruler,Multiply,divide,add,subtract and fractions,I dont think you have to have a Math mind set to do beautiful quilting.. My Opinion only :thumbup: BillsBonBon
