It is efficient at keeping us warm but not quite as 'homely' as a wood fire/stove. I usually craft and read in Winter too but since I moved in with my partner a whole lot of my stuff is still packed up in boxes. I am feeling the 'need' to find at least a small creative project to do.Learning to sew is on my wish ladychiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399371039307232709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488317947705949015.post-56617841675023825602011-06-18T12:15:25.140+10:002011-06-18T12:15:25.140+10:00You've really warmed me - I'm so jealous o...You've really warmed me - I'm so jealous of your wood stove! Ducted heating may be effective but not very authentic.<br />I love to use the cold days for reading and stitching, and I'm finding the evenings at the sewing machine quilting quite satisfying also. There is a part of me (must be the "youth" in me) who would love to get out in a coat and scarf and work in the Kelly Casanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089138869326091823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488317947705949015.post-43412078391455530792011-06-17T20:25:38.086+10:002011-06-17T20:25:38.086+10:00Linda oooh apricot scones sound lovely!Self saucin...Linda oooh apricot scones sound lovely!Self saucing puddings are wonderful aren't they!Reading the comments on this post reminded how many good things there are about Winter lol.<br /><br />Tam I'm with you on the mid 20s as being nice.

See I'm in the US and it is summer here, well it isn't so hot right now but I'm sure it will be soon. We had a bought of 90 degree temps a week ago that drove us all inside to bask in the air conditioning.<br /><br />I've always been a lover of autumn and winter. Those are my two favorite times of the year.
