Okay... so my husband looks at my hobby as a time waster, not worth it, expensive, etc.....

UNTIL... he started to recover his leather Rocarro sports car seats. THEN all of a sudden, he understood such things as the usefulness of Rotary cutters of different sizes, Mats....

Then he found that my mini iron stand and work area was great for holding his soldering iron.....

He also discovered that both my sewing machines ... one of which is a restored 1923 Singer.... might have cost money to fix up, but boy can they ever sew canvas and leather!

Now he uses my table to fix electronics, take apart computers, uses my big glue gun, my Dremal, my machines, rulers...

But he always, always asks first, and cleans up after. <smile> So I don't mind...

Has anyone else found their significant others 'discovering' the usefulness of your quilting areas? If so, how? I'd sure like to keep on pointing out to my DH, just how useful, practical and worthy it is for the wifey to have such toys....

Yeah, you guessed it... I want that Babylock Ellisimo!~ <wink>
