Have you recently started a new hobby?
I started a new hobby last year; I'm learning how to crochet. And recently I've started back playing badminton; a hobby I like so much.
My newest hobby consists of puzzles. In the past six months, I've purchased four that I have done so often that I can sort the pieces, put the sides into place, then fill it in in four hours. However, I only use 500 piece puzzles. Anything above that is over my head.
I too put puzzles together with my children, we start with the edges first as well. And your right puzzles over 500 pieces is quite a challenge.
Iburmaster, you're smart: challenge yourself with a 1,000 --1,500-piece puzzle or two. I'm quite sure you can complete them! (I, too, start with the outside, and consider it "cheating" to look at the picture.) "Springbok" puzzles I find hardest.
It's funny that you say that, Laura. I just purchased a 1,000 piece puzzle last weekend. Thank you for the motivation!
You can totally master that 1,000 piece puzzle, Iburmaster. Go for it!!! It doesn't stand a chance. :-)
Yes I have a new hobby. I am trying to make cartoons and I am working on one right now. I should have it complete by next week. I want to start another hobby making ugly dolls.
I have too many hobbies, but recently learned how to do punch needle embroidery, at the encouragement of my sister to "branch out" and try new things. I'm about 75% through with my first project, and it's looking good so far (for a first project). It uses a LOT more embroidery floss than either typical embroidery, which I do, or cross stitching.

What unusual hobbies do you have?Other people's hobbies always interest me. Recently, I've been making resin jewelry (hub coming soon). What types of things do you do in your spare time, if any?

I have a recently divorced friend that has started partying again and seeing many guys. She is...beautiful and I am worried she or her kids are going to get hurt. How can I help her?

Do you consider HubPages a hobby or as a way to boost your income?I started writing on HubPages as a creative outlet, but now that I'm beginning to make a little money, I'm changing my outlook.

How often should you challenge your mind by playing games or doing puzzles?Where does it go from being a benefit to being an idle waste of time?
