Re: Needed
Precious1--I sooo agree with you! My DH knew I went to a posted estate sale & purchased a large amount of fabric and I reasoned it with him that I would save tons of $ because I wouldnt have to pay the high prices at the store. But then 2-3x a week I'd go to Joann's and he started asking why I needed more when I have numerous totes now full----I would reply 'it's a good deal' or 'I need a certain color'. Luckily, since I'm not working and he works through the day I am the one to get the mail & so unless an item comes on Saturday he doesn't know I bought more and I just add it to the totes I have and he's none the wiser!!!! I'm like you too though and I told my DH that I don't spend $ on clothes/shoes/jewelry/makeup, etc like most women and I make sure to point that out when I hear relatives/friends of his complaining about their wives buying 30 pairs of shoes and I point out that he's lucky I just like fabric. He's really good about it though and we joke around but I have him almost convinced to make me a craft room (keeping my fingers crossed)----I told him if I had a room then he wouldnt have to look at the stuff in our bedroom and living room as I'm working on projects.
***My latest tactic has been to remind him that we need to keep a positive attitude, so when he complains about the 'stuff' in his way---I tell him that people who think positive live longer so he should just be happy that I'm making quilts/totes, etc for friends/family and that eventually it will end up in someone else's home. lol
