Most crafts require good task lighting and, for an aging baby boomer population, close-up glasses, icon which makes the tv you are trying to watch, blurred, as it is farther away. Many crafts also require a decent flat surface, which is not always available at a comfortable height when sitting in a chair. icon

What a wonderful question. I am looking forward to reading what answers other Hometalkers submit. I also hope that they could share some details or photos of how they have set up their tv watching furniture to physically accommodate working on crafts at the same time. icon

I don't craft while watching tv, but I could use the time to do part of a craft task like cutting or gluing.

Don't craft while watching tv but do trim and clean the harvest since it is time consuming.

It's a really good question you've asked!

Right now I am making a pom pom rug so it is just wrapping yarn around different sized tubes. Commercials are for tying and cutting the pom poms.

That’s a hard question. I craft in a leathereasy chair while watching crafting YouTubes. Mostly acrylic painting. Everything from canvas, wood, clay and paper mache.
