If I'm cutting or piecing, I listen to a smooth jazz radio station turned low. I like to have music in the background. Nothing I have to think about or I'll be unable to concentrate on what I'm doing. If I'm hand quilting I usually sit with my DH while he watches tv and I mostly listen to it.

What a great thread! Some comments were laugh out loud funny, while others are things I forgot about and need to listen to.
But of course the best was "the voices in my head" hahahahaha
And I can't believe Dr. Laura is still on!! Our network dumped her the day after 9/11 happened and she hasn't been back since :D
You all gave me some great ideas THANKS!! :D
Yeah, Librivox is great and FREE!!!!!!!!
I have a subscription to Audible but not sure if it's worth the fee every month. We'll see........ I did get some of my all time fav audiobooks so that's good.
The Yankees supercede everything for me though when they play day games. I get them on my laptop and bring it up to my sewing room :thumbup:

I love that movie and when I'm down it is the one I watch. It is such a feel good movie.

I listen to books on tape too. Mostly mysteries, but sometimes I put in a cd, Il Devo or classical music.

They are mindless but pass the time.

I listen to audio books that I download onto my MP3 player from the library. I have about 30 of them on there. When I'm not listening to a book I'm reading one either a book or an ebook on my Nook. I just love a good story.

I have a TV in my sewing room too but seldom watch it. I would rather listen to a story if I have anything on. That would be an audio book. Love lite mysteries and non fiction.
