ditto-ditto- and ditto
I have the TV on most of the time when I'm in my sewing room. I had 4 children many years ago and learned to tune them out. Proof reading this, I still have 4 children--they just don't live with me anymore. lol I have always done 2-3 things at the same time. If I just watch TV, I usually fall asleep.

Maybe it is the sound more than the pictures, but most movies can be watched with half an eye and half an ear. Sewing during sports is even better because of the replays when anything exciting happens.

Hey, Deborah how'd ya like the Ryder Cup this year?? 3 days of so much fun. I actually got so into it that I didn't sew for the whole weekend. Yes, golf is the way - I can sew and just raise my head when one of my favs is up.
PS: I have a soft spot for the Europeans. Sorry!

I too, use the TV for noise/company. If you have a computer you can always watch the OregonQuilting programs on youtube or on the web site www.oregonquilting.weebly.com We have just started taping our new series and I was really nervous on our first programs but think I am getting better.

Old Star Trek series on Netflix... I know them all by heart, so I don't really have to pay attention. It's like comfort food, or petting the cat. It just takes my mind off world issues so I can relax while I "work" with my fabric.

I am a listener as well... and if it gets to something good .. I stop and look up. I will say Dancing with the Stars is tough .. I find I have to use that time as a ironing only , even then not much production happens.
