My DH say if it makes you happy do it. He use to make a remark now and then about my stash, but since I've told him I'm leaving instructions with DD he doesn't comment anymore.
He is a TV watcher but also likes the horses so it works well for us as he likes to do his thing. I venture into the living room from time to time and say hello. Usually on my way to my computer or to the kitchen. We only have a small 2 bedroom house. Wish we still had the huge house we had before I started Quilting.
He has his laptop on the kitchen bench. It's pretty squashy at times but we manage.
