What else do you do whilst stitching cards?

needle-and-threadPeople sometimes ask if I do my own stitching when I design a card. The answer is that I do stitch them myself. I see it as part of the design process. It enables me to refine the design by having first hand knowledge of how it is working. This brings me to the subject of what else do you do whilst stitching a card.

I like to listen to Radio 4 if there is a good discussion or documentary program on. I sometimes stitch in front of the TV if the program is not too visually demanding. Crime dramas are easy to follow with the occasional glance at the screen as are studio based discussion programs. I find travelogues are not so good to watch whilst stitching as I am missing much of the beautiful scenery.

What else do you do whilst stitching cards? I had thought of making this a poll but the answers could be many and varied so please tell me in a comment to this post.
