UPDATE

Its been a cold winter. My home art studio is kind of a "parlor" connected to my kitchen. I don't think it was an original part of the house, but at some point in my home's past, it was probably converted from a three-season porch to an actual room of my house. The problem with it is it is kind of a "penninsula" on my house - exposed on three sides to the elements. In short, the room gets very cold and some days it is hard to work in there. I got under the crawlspace last Fall and layed down plastic on the ground underneath to help insulate - it helped a lot, but it still gets cold. I bought a space heater for that room last winter, but it blew a fuse and I have been affraid to use the thing ever since.

So, I went out on Sunday and stocked up on art supplies and I will be working in my studio this week perhaps with mittens on.

If you have any stories about cold (or hot houses) post to this message. Best story will win a special present from me.
