Snacks while crafting: yes or no?

Dear users, dear authors,
do you snack while doing crafts, or do you think that would ruin your work? But I guess you can’t do without drinks, right?

Here’s how it is for me: When I have a new project on my mind, I lose track of time and space. If my husband didn’t bring me something to drink every now and then and remind me to eat, I’d probably starve to death at some point... lol
But when someone puts something right in front of me, I’m happy to grab a bite now and then. You don’t ruin anything that quickly ;-)

I take little breaks every now and then, and during those breaks I definitely treat myself to a small snack.

Hi everyone,

I’m not worried at all about “messing up” my work—I just don’t feel like snacking while I’m crafting (great diet ;) ).

Best regards

I wouldn’t be afraid to eat snacks while crafting either. I also like to drink a Radler while I’m at it, but just like with the snacks, I forget to reach for it until I take a break anyway ;)

Ha ha, for me, it’s more like this: especially toward the end of a project, when it comes to the tedious part of sewing everything together and weaving in ends (especially with amigurumi that have lots of individual pieces), I take a LOT of breaks—almost after every single end I weave in ;-)

.... I’m afraid that could get pretty unhealthy in the long run. Hmm, maybe I should switch to solid-color pieces that you work in one go ;-)
