I hate the winter, and the holidays for that matter. And now, if the cold weather isn’t bad enough I have a new reason to hate the winter months…..I can’t torch. My setup is in the basement and I have to open the windows to torch. Way too cold down there to do that. My friend has a big heater blower, you know, the kind they use in car repair shops, anyway he is going to loan it to me to see if that will help. My only problem now is finding enough power. We haven’t finished our basement and I am using almost all of the available plugs now so I’m not sure I can even run the thing. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. It’s either this or I find some electric socks and a hot water bottle to sit on. One would think that the torch would keep you warm but the radiant heat just isn’t that warm as most of it goes up.
As for the other reasons I hate the winter, the obvious the cold but the holidays always make me blue. Family is all spread out, they all want you to be where they are and you can’t, memories of wonderful childhood Christmas’ don’t help. You can’t go back can you. Usually when January 1st gets here it’s spring for me. There is still plenty of cold weather to deal with, even down here in the south, but for me it’s all sunny and bright and I’m ready to get on with it.
Here’s hoping you all have a great Thanksgiving and a super holiday. I’ll post beads if I’m able to torch. If you don’t see the beads you will know that it was a no go……….
