Puzzle Break

When I need a writing break, lately, I've been doing puzzles. Not only are puzzles are great way to escape from everything, they keep the mind healthy. And, for me, they are extremely addictive. Once I start a puzzle, I can't stop, lol. But just like writing, when I get stuck, I take a break and when I return, I find more pieces.

Below are two puzzles I recently finished. The bird bath, flower garden was one of the hardest puzzles I have ever done, but it was also the most satisfactory. When purchasing it, I thought, how hard would a 'shaped' puzzle be? It was very difficult as most edges were rounded. But it turned out great!

Then I started a puzzle of a wolf with the moon phases and feathers. This puzzle was also hard, but I pressed on and was extremely happy with the end result.

Both puzzles now hang on my office wall. They look amazing...and the wolf puzzle glows in the dark!

What do you do to take a break or for a hobby?
