For me, it depends which of my sewing rooms I'm in, When I had to move out of the three season porch because of the cold and move back into my cross stitch TV room, I watch TV while sewing. There is no TV hook up out on the sun porch, so there I listen to the radio and CD's. I'm very anxious for spring so I can move back into the 3 season room as there is almost 3 times the space there. Actually I really need a whole new giant room to myself.
