Shannon WY Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I don't hate anything about candlemaking, only I do find testing wick after wick gets a little tiresome and that I never seem to have enough time to make all the things I want!

Glowlite Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 The one and only thing I dislike is the amount of stuff I have. I always seem to buy to much and then I don't want to part with it so I have to keep asking dh to build me sheds to put it all. Pretty soon I'm not gonna have a back yard. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I think the only thing mine hates about it is my FO addiction. I can never order out FO's I'm low on without slipping in at least one new scent:o . Yes, I'm weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuepie Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 DH supports and encourages my candle making, but I truly believe (he says not so) he hates that I have taken over part of his domain (garage)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I love everything about candlemaking...OK wick testing can be a pain. What I HATE is the bookkeeping end of it. I'm way more organized than last year, but it is still a boring, tediuos job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I don't hate candlemaking itself. It's the lack of space I have that I hate. My goal is to have a work room one day where I can have all of my supplies in one place. It will be nice to have my kitchen back, my hall closet back, my spare bedroom upstairs back ... well, you get the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I personally hate cleaning molds. When I have 40 of them to clean at a time... :rolleyes2 My dh hates that this business has taken over our house and it's cluttered and trashed. He's very supportive though and never says anything negative. I think he wishes we had a kitchen again so he's been looking at buying a shed to empty the garage and converting the garage to a workspace for me!

beauloser Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I know hubby hates all the time and attention the candles get instead of him...who has time to cuddle...I just got a new case of wax!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyTN Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I'm not sure which one my SO hates the most...-The kitchen table covered with shipping supplies-Wax in the refrigerator and freezer-Half burned candles sitting everywhere-Every square inch of the spare bedroom covered with candle making supplies...or me constantly saying "How does this one smell?"

Terrie Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Gosh, I can't think of anything that DH hates about my candle making. He thinks its cool. OK, maybe he cringes *sometimes* when I tell him how much I spent. LOLNow for me, its the wick testing and WAITING on UPS to bring my stuff. When I'm out of something, I want it ASAP. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticglow Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 My DH is very supportive of my craft. He is the biggest promoter of my products. I think the only thing that he maybe hates is the amount of TIME that I spend on it. :undecided I have spent many late nights or early mornings as the case might be in the candle shop. Now that I'm getting into the B&B stuff, I am spending even more time out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFLMAO! That is too funny! Whenever I pop out a candle that I actually like, I have to show him, and he just says.."thats very nice honey" LOL...but today I was showing him my beautiful chunk and he couldnt even say that because he doesnt like chunkies. Ugh, not like chunkies??? Is there a divorce lawyer on the board? ROFL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 LOL candlelovr about divorcing over chunkies. I could just see people asking you, "was it another woman?" and you have to say nope, "he doesn't like my chunkies!" Yep, thems fighting words alright! I don't think my husband is fond of my "chunkies" either and I am not talking about candles...LOL :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolas Lights Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The only thing I don't like about it is the testing and keeping up with inventory and costs. My daughter does the books and she's constantly after me cuz I don't keep up with every little item that I buy. If I buy paper towels, wax paper, etc she's gotta have the reciept for it all. Of course I know she's right everything adds up. And yes it is expensive, I over buy too. See something new, especially FO gotta have it, or I think I do.

T~ Just T Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I think my hubby hates making candles................ I make him make them just like I do. J/K He really doesn't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 My SO is supportive, but he does have some comments and questions...Kitchen, what's a kitchen?Why can't you carry your own cases of wax? Do I look like a pack mule to you?Do you really think a woodworker and a candlemaker should live together? I think it's called a tinderbox.Fragrance oil does not taste like it smells.I can't smell anything anymore, so don't ask! :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 My dh hates that this business has taken over our house and it's cluttered and trashed. This sounds like my hubby. Except, he has been dishing over the $$$ for my addition to be built (almost done). So lately when he starts to say something he just smiles and says..."oh wait, you get to move to your own room of the house real soon". I don't mind him saying that, cause I don't like to be bothered while I'm working and if they are hungry..where do they come? to the dayum kitchen.
