Dead tree solving - eco edition! 
Best of both worlds - paper and pencil/pen solving, but rather than curled up with the newspaper, you're curled up with your tablet/iPad/Android! Write, even draw, in the grid, directly on the screen. 

Perfect for rebus puzzles, like this one from a recent Thursday NYTimes puzzle. Use a stylus, for the feel of really writing, or just use your fingertip - it is remarkably easy and is your real writing... I filled this one out using my finger - the stylus is just there for show. (The rebus was MAN - as in TAXMAN at 54D...) If you would like to try it out, click on "About Me" on this page and send me an email.

NEW Puzzle Boards

My energetic and endlessly creative 88 year old Mom has been making Puzzle Boards for years, and just recently has started making them with puzzle themed fabric in addition to custom-made.
Check out this fabulous over-the-top board I commissioned to match my den!  She can make one more like this with the fabric on hand, or let her skilled eye come up with one that matches your favorite puzzle-solving nook.
(That's me in the pic - can you believe I solved today's puzzle in under 2 minutes because of this new board! ;) 

These boards are great for holding your dead-tree edition puzzle, or even, dare I say it, your iPad!
She can make them in grid-themed fabric, or in any fabric to match your decor.
Here are a few examples.  Most are fabric, some are fleece (those are nice to hold onto on a cold winter's night), and others are coated fabric, for you messy solvers out there.
They are upholstered, slightly padded  on the back, nice writing surface on the front.

She is asking  $15 - $20 each depending on fabric and trim.  Very elaborate one, like the fabulous new Diva board, will be in the $40 range. She can ship asap, or make one to your specs. Until recently she worked in interior design, so if you want to tell us your color scheme, she can make up a custom one for you!  You can even send us the fabric of your choice.
