To say that Malva loved puzzles would be an understatement. She almost always had at least 2 puzzles books with her and one of those books was always a Sudoku. She has worked on jigsaw puzzles all her life. She really liked the Thomas Kincade scenery puzzles and puzzles with different shapes. Another kind of puzzle that she enjoyed was the magic eye pictures. She would even buy calendars with a different magic eye picture every month. She tried her hand at tri-chem painting and made several items. As far as crafting goes, she really enjoyed making things with plastic canvas. She made a two-story doll house and all the furniture with yarn and plastic canvas. - She also enjoyed reading about interesting places around Oklahoma like the Totem Pole Park and the Blue Whale of Catoosa.
