    Tell him you plan on practicing til you get so good you can sell them for $500 each, that ought to motivate him to give you space to create! It's going to be a business, yes, someday a business.....that's what I keep telling myself as I add inventory to my stash and equipment. But first I need to practice....yeh, like for about 10 years!

That's another thing, he travels a lot, what else am I supposed to do while he's away.........quilt!!!!

    Absolutely! The best answer yet!

    Right on, Sandy!

    You tell him, Sandy! And keep that stash a growing!

    BINGO! And being happy and occupied keeps the mind sharp. It really is all about health and wellness.

    OMG, you all are too funny!

    Mine has always been into Classic Cars. Not exactly a cheap hobby. I've never been a shopper, don't get excited about Norstroms, etc. Now Frye, Apple Store, ok...I'm a techie geek. Now a days...fabric fine.

    But if your DH has a garage with tools and cars...he would have been sleeping in the dog house with that question. LOL

    When I was looking to upgrade my machine...he's like "How Much?!?" I can flip a car for that much and make $. What's this thing going to do?" Me "Make me happy and keep you alive." Really... I've worked 14 hour days - 6 days a week for the last 22 years, give me a break!!! I think I'm liberated enough to make this decision myself in 2012. LOL But I'm with Rebecca, it annoyed me, eventhough I know Don thought I so called deserved it if I wanted it.

    You should also go to PinInterest.com and search under sewing room and sewing studio - great photo ideas there. I've been collecting a folder there if we move to a bigger place. A girl can dream right?
    Visit my fabric shopping cart YardageALaCarte.com - PM me for a 25% Off your Total Purchase Code, just mention "The Forum" in your message. Huggers, Ruby

    Pintrest is another obsession of mine! I have searched the sewing rooms and have it in my head exactly what mine is going to look like! You all keep me laughing. I obviously hit a nerve with the question so I'm comforted that I'm not the only one. Thanks for all the suggestions!

    I am reading everyone's responses and could not add one thing---I agree with it all whole heartedly. I have my own sewing area and love it. It was the kid's play room, then the family play room---now it is my room. They all like to grumble at times--but I say too bad. You are all growing up and leaving me---so I am taking this room now. I left the big tv in there, my husband comes in to watch his games and keeps me company when I sew. He gets it.

    I tell my DH it's what I do rather than go to a psychiatrist! I don't drink, smoke or do drugs and it makes me happy to be creative. In the end he always says that if I'm happy, he's happy....

    I would tell him in my sweetest way to just go with the flow. And if he has a really good sense of humor, I would whip out a pair of these and tell him to suck it up and put on a pair of these. He's gonna need them once he sees all your stash.
