Teach Me Something Tuesday: Cross stitch and Castle

At the beginning of this year I told you all I was going to learn something new and finish a homemaking craft.  Well I didn't work on it much over the summer but here is my progress and the baby (s) this was intended for is months old so I will save it for another time.  I will just call this my practice piece.  I messed up and had to resew some of it, but thank goodness I chose something easy to work with for my first project.

 

Also not really a homemaking thing but I am REALLY into watching the show Castle right now.  Not the best cross stitching show because you kinda have to watch carefully, it is a mystery after all, but I love it!  It is witty and kinda fills me up with joy (should I be saying that about murder mysteries?).  What do you like to watch while you are crafting away?  Or do you have laser focus when finishing a craft?  Or does your craft not accommodate for watching something  at the same time?
