    I would think that the "shine" would be more of a problem during the night, too much competition during the day, and that the light required t sew by would be worse in that case.

    Depends on where you are.... Right now, in our area, there's not a lot of sweating going on outside unless you're shoveling snow.

    I have seen chestnuts in drawers before, too. I guess if you get mad you can sew it to something or throw it anyway.....
