There are a few no-nos when sewing such as don't eat or drink when sewing however, the reality is that many of us attempt to multi task when we do things these days. Such was what happened recently when I was working on a set of cuffs for a friend. It is a 36 count white linen with black silk thread. I was drinking tea, put the cup too close, the dog came by and splash. The cuffs are stained. I am currently tea dyeing them however, I'll keep them for myself and work on a new set for her. Note to self-put tea far away.
A tip for snacking while embroidering is to use chopsticks. You don't need to touch the food, you only eat a small amount at a time and you can keep the snacks far away from your sewing.
