Mine wishes I would spend more time with him in the evening when he's watching TV. I got a really good floor lamp to stand by my chair in the living room, and now I can do the hand-sewing part, such as binding, in there. He's fine with my hobbies, as long I can be by him sometimes. I've done crochet, knitting, sewing and beading in the living room. As long as I'm busy, I'm happy, and as long as I'm there, he's happy.
