To get around the scissor thing on planes you can bring a dental floss container and use the top to cut your thread! That's what I used to do when I was sewing pointe shoe ribbons on planes ;)
I used to have something that looked a bit like a Pac-Man character, but the mouth had a little blade. It was targeted at cross stitchers. I don’t know if it’s still available or even passes the tests now x
Fingernail clippers cut thread and yarn perfectly. That's what we used in prison.
My earliest memories are of my sweet grandma sitting in front of the tv with tatting or knitting or quilting or some kind of hand work in her lap working happily while she watched! This brought back those warm memories and gave me some more ideas to add to my list of projects I already do to be productive while enjoying tv. Thanks so much for your creativity!
I'm so glad you showed the ruffle. I don't have a sewing machine and this is so easy
Thanks Gayle! This helps so many who need to craft while in a relaxed position due to physical issues like me. I call it Belly Crafting...lol. a lot has been done that way. Haha
I've never been able to "just" watch tv. I always have to be doing something else as well.
I used to be like that, now Eds has caught up with me and I’m not pushing, pushing to get things done my whole life has slowed down. My sleep isn’t anywhere near being good, but I don’t have loads of things buzzing around in my head. Do this, do that, write reports, get that done for that class, do this for that person, while I’m setting it up I might as well do it another language.
My mind still isn’t quiet but it’s better than it was. I still do things while I listen to tv, but I can just watch now too....thinking about it, I suppose emailing customers, reading or finding a kindle book, reading the news...yeah, I do more than I first thought 😂
The very first of your videos that I ever watched was your painted papers! Then YT started suggesting your junk journaling videos and, well, I fell down the rabbit hole with 30K other people.
😂🤣😂. So glad you did! ❤️
Never a boring moment in junk journaling. So many varied options to work on. The perfect craft!!
Thank you for these great ideas for tv watching, traveling (car, plane, or hotel), or waiting in the car or waiting rooms. It can be hard to choose which fun thing to do today. I have an additional idea someone may also want to try. I take a small crochet hook and thin yarns and make little crocheted flowers, chains, or just small squares. I plan to use them in clusters.
TFS Gayle, we live off grid near the Grand Canyon, no tv only solar lights at night, tiny home but I still do my crafts on a tray as well !
As I am disabled and live in pain, other than sewing, I have done EVERYTHING thus far in my recliner with trays and a bookshelf next to me. My first journal was a altered book, you had told us about Crafty Irina. I make lots of ephemera and create a mess. This was a wonderful video of new ideas.
Wish you all the best... I'm in the seem position. Lot of strength and fun! Keep going...
I have issues with a recent disability too. Crafting gives me something to focus on, but it's something where I can still take breaks when I need to. That's one of the things I love about it. You in any Facebook groups or hanging around on Twitter?
What channel is then sir. I a very interested in DIY journals!!
Look up, crafty Irina. Then look up on her channel, ALTERED BOOK.
@@lyllydd just you tube, Facebook and instagram
I think the crazy quilt painted and doodled on papers are wonderful. Great idea. I was watching a tutorial somewhere (I watch so many I can never remember which one taught me what). Anyway, the tutorial was about aging paper without needing to tea dye it. This lady used brown shoe polish. Once dried the polish does not rub off, you can go as dark or light as you want and polish comes in lots of colors. She says it goes a long way and it costs her a lot less than using ink and saves the mess of tea or coffee dying. I haven’t tried it yet but I thought I would pass the idea on.
Gayle, you are so cute! Thank you for showing us your tv tricks.
You can take scissors in your carry-on if they're 4" or less from the pivot point for future reference, Gayle.
Thank you!! My granddaughter is having back surgery in March she will be in hospital for 5 days. I was staying to help her mom just be there for them. I hate to just sit so this is some great ideas!!!
Yes I was waiting for fussy cutting! Lol. A great video and thank you so much. 10 things more I can do while watching tv that I never thought of.
Whoever suggested this was a fantastic choice. I even wrote the top ten down 🤓 plus the bonus is one of my favorite things to do 😉 By the way Good morning Gayle.
Have a blessed day. Hugs 😘💕❤
Great idea video! And it's so cute that you think you will be able to do any of these things with a 140 lb. bundle of doggy love in your lap!
Hahahaha!!!! I once tried loom knitting with a cat nearby. Did you know that all cats will jump through hoops given half a chance? Mine went from 2 yr old kitten to giant circus lion in under .00003 seconds!
Petting a dog is the best thing to do while watching tv. It is also so relaxing and great for your health. My lapdog passed away recently and my other dog has no love for the lap. Give your little furry baby a hug for me and my lonely lap. :)
@@sweetboo1022 so sorry for your loss, l know how you feel.
Yes!! Thank you to whom ever suggested this!! And Shannon Green's painty papers!! She is one of my favorite enablers!!
Wasn't my idea, but I just went crazy making those little folded envelopes last night! They are adorable!!! Thanks Gayle! And Jimmy Joe is just the cutest little guy ever!
I could spend a whole day bingeing on TV just fussy cutting before I get to the next thing on my list. I had back surgery on the 23rd of December and I'm so behind! Thanks Gayle for the ideas that will keep me busy as I recuperate. I am walking every day now and going a little further every time. Love your new bag from Hobby Lobby!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery! ❤️
Great video!! I needed some of the ideas. Things I can do while watching TV with my husband and not have to sit in craft area away from him in another room. Love all you do thanks again for sharing!!💜
These were great! I've been trying to organize and use my time more efficiently. Some great ideas and tips! Thank you for sharing. All the best from Alberta, Canada!
I don't know if this is a new idea but I tried this and thought I would share. When you separate napkins there are the extra pieces well I hate to waste and so I stamped on them then cut them out, roughly, then glued them down. I made a card with them. I used blue tissue paper then cut out little houses stamped onto the napkin and glued that down and embellished with gems. It worked very well. Sometimes you can't find the napkin you need so that's why I tried this.
Jody Conrad, that's a great idea! And I like reducing what I would have tossed, because we aren't allowed to recycle paper products like napkins and paper towels, even if unused.
Cool. What kind of ink do you use to stamp on the napkins? Stazon? Archival? I'm thinking some inks would bleed and look fuzzy, and some might not react well to the glue. I love the printed tissue paper sold for collage, but it gets pricey, and I have a ton of stamps so this could work.
I used Stazon and no bleeding. I was so surprised. I even used some basic inks and no bleeding. I was so happy with this.
@@jodyconrad3763 Outstanding! Going try this now.
Love the idea! Thanks for sharing!
One more thing I do during soap operas with my husband (yep, he likes them), is to make bead dangles. I like that you put these all into one video so I can find them when I need an idea!
Hi Gayle. I'm so like you in that I am always looking for something to keep my hands busy. I have loads of little projects to work on while I'm sitting and lots of little pouches of things in my bag. Any time is craft time lol x
Love these ideas, Gayle! Especially since my fur baby does not like me in my craft room and wants me on the sofa sleeping beside me while watching TV! I don't like just sitting idle either!
I enjoyed these little projects/activities to build up a stash of “pretties” or additional page decorations. I’m amazed at how you’re so organized with all of your scraps! Tfs!
It’s so nice to have a bunch of ideas in one video. Thank you! 😘💜💜
This video never gets old. Thanks Gayle and shout out to Tina from Shabbydabydo who’s also one of my favourite “go to” crafters
Thanks for sharing your ideas. So many things to do and just what I needed. I was getting tired of doing my fussy cutting. Next to try is the fabric ruffles. I love, love, love them.
Well Gayle - manufacturers haven't use wooden spools in 100 yrs. - I collect them. This is a great way to ruffle - you have the best ideas and ways. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! Wonderful ideas. I kept a list to remind myself when I’m looking for things to do while sitting or waiting. I appreciate it.
Thank goodness you had the bonus tip.
Fussie cutting. I love fussie cutting. That’s one of my favorite things. This video was very, very good. I really enjoyed it. Carol from California
I love how organised your things are so you can just grab a little bag or basket of paper or material and can start on something right away. 😃 thank you for the great ideas and the inspiration to do different things with different stuff 🙏🤗😀❤️
I enjoyed watching EVERY SINGLE SECOND of this video!!! (How else would I have ever known I could hand-sew ruffles even though I don't have a sewing machine!!! LOL!
A mass making sewing tip… separate the sewing into all fabric and fabric/mixed media. This helps save the needles. Swap them out for each type of sewing you are doing.
Love your Emerald, nice bezel
Love this top 10 list and one other “list” I’ve seen you do. Thank you and I cheer for MORE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Thanks as it is a wonderful quick reference to look back at.
I can’t LOVE this “list” ENOUGH!!!! Thank YOU for doing this!
One of my favorite videos along with your 10/12 pocket video! Ty!
This is great!!! I love these ephemera tuts, such great ideas for multi tasking or when you just don't have time to do more. Thanks Gayle!!!
So organized! A lot of great ideas 🥰
I’m like you Gayle, I have to be doing something when I watch TV. Time is very valuable and I want to make sure I am productive. TV is not high on my list of things I like to do. I really only watch TV when my husband is watching, to keep him company.
Great viewer suggestion and great video, thanks, Gayle. I always have to figure how jobs I do in front of the telly, or how I store things and where I put them are safe from 3 very curious and cheeky (read: naughty!) indoor cats... 😻🙄😂
Omg I almost died laughing when I saw your basket of scraps. So funny.
What great ideas! Thank you for showing us newer people!
I don't get much time to watch tv but would be fun to do while watching TH-cam for sure. TFS. Hugs.
Great ideas you’ve shown us. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Great ideas, I always like something to do while watching tv. Thank you
This was the best video! I love to fussy cut while watching tv, now I'll have things to do when I run out of things to cut. Thank you!
I never thought about hand sewing ruffles. I love it!
I love the little envelopes. You have great ideas.
What a terrific vid! I will now pack a project in my EDC.🙏🇨🇦✌️❤️
Thanks Gayle. Great ideas and I love the little envelope cluster. So cute.
Great suggestion by the subbie who asked 😊
Clusters are something I really need to get to grips with this year as I am far too OCD about them!
So glad you added inking in there too Gayle, I was starting to get worried about you for a moment there lol ❤️ xx
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing, Gayle.
Great suggestions & ideas! Thank you!
What a great list to keep us busy! Love this! Thank you for sharing.
These are great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
How wonderful, I am going to see Little Women at the movies and soon as I get home you have inspired me to hit the craft table!
Wonderful ideas Gayle, and very helpful! Thank you.
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing, Gayle!
Those were great suggestions! Thank you!
Brilliant ideas! Thank you!
Fussy cutting is what I am doing while watching! Thanks for the ideas!
So many great ideas!! TFS Gayle!!
Gayle, these are great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing! Great ideas
Omg...I adore all of your craft supplies, especially the cute little envelopes and doodling papers! Thanks for sharing all these recommendations! Love your channel!
Thank you! Practical and fun!
Thank you for all the great ideas!🥰
So great! So many ideas! Thanks for sharing! 🤯❤️🙂
Wonderful ideas! I'll be crafting while I'm re-watching. Thank you so much! 💕😍
This is really a great video on getting ready to make a journal so we’re not overwhelmed by it all before I begin my larger journal...it sure helps to make things ahead of time so when you need something I won’t have to stop & make it.. I try & make two or three pieces of memorabilia while I’m learning each video so later I can make more ....your right about watching TV, I set up a assembly line procedure, so it will go faster also....
Luved this video, inspired me to get some prepping done while watching tv. Hubby and I were watching a series on Netflix and I prepped a dollar store book for an altered book and then used some of the torn out pages to make different size envelopes and some banner tucks, inked too. Thanks so much for sharing this video.
Great ideas & all in one place!
Great project ideas. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.😊❤️
I love this one! Spent 20 minutes after trying to find that Grand Hotel paper pad at a reasonable price. Sadly, I didn't find it at a reasonable price :( I just fell in love with that pack!
Great ideas as always, thanks for sharing Gayle! 👌
Gayle, I just love this video. Thanks so much.
Awesome tips, TFS
Thanks to whomever suggested the theme for this video. It was just so good. Just like you, I cannot just sit and watch TV, I have to be doing something. My husband says that I am a fuss budget, and of course, he is right. The only thing I could watch without doing anything was Downton Abbey. Thanks for all these new ideas.
I just watched the video of your puppy and can't believe how well he is doing with training. I also do a lot of pre work as I watch television. Or I knit, crochet, or cut paper for cards.
Thank you, Gayle! Fun video with great ideas! ❤️
This was a great video. Fabulous ideas to help me pass time while recovering from knee surgery👍
Loved all the ideas!!! Thank you
Thank you. I really enjoyed watching this. I always make sure I have something to do while watching tv..even when watching TH-cam at night on my phone..I crochet or knit..I would love to see more mini projects like this. Sometimes when I am unwell I want to make something but don't have the energy or concentration to do big stuff..these would be awesome
Awesome ideas. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Gayle, that was very helpful, I love the little envelopes and all. Have a Blessed day..
Always love a back to basics video! 👍
Dear Gayle thanks so much for sharing all your work. I have learned so much from you. I follow you from Panamá, and sometimes it is hard to find supplies to work with but I enjoy watching you always. Thanks so much.❤❤
Love this Gayle. Gives me lots of ideas
this was brilliant! thanks for sharing! my husband kinda expects me to be watching tv with him nightly- i usually haul all this collage stuff in with me & get little done- these are manageable!
Such a great video! Thank you for sharing I love watching TV while I craft. Cant wait to to try all of these ideas. I always feel so inspired and happy after watching your videos. Your just a bundle of joy and your giggle is just too cute! 😁🤗😂❤
The painted papers are a great idea.
Brilliant! Going to get a tray full of bits and settle in front of the tv! Thank you so much! X🌸💞
Great stuff Gayle! Thank you❣
Awesome video on great ideas!!! TFS!! Blessings ❤️❤️
Thank you,thank you,thank you for giving us all this fun stuff to do while watching tv. This will help me tremendously Gayle❤
So many amazing ideas!!! Thank you so much for sharing 💜 I love to create stuff while listening to an audiobook but watching TV is good too 😉
