As I sit in my studio with wood parts surrounding me, I cannot decide if I want to make my lighted houses and hangings with battery or electric lighting. These are small houses and shelf sitters, so I am thinking that they should be battery operated so that it does not limit the possibilities of where you can put or hang them. It always seems that the ideal spot is never near an outlet. I do have some new crafts that will have electric lighting, but wanted to offer another option. Some of the concerns I have heard in the past are about having to constantly putting batteries into the items, but even today’s tea lights are good for hundreds of hours. I need to order my lighting soon and my handy woodworker (my hubby) needs to know “yesterday”. Please help and let me know your preference.
