He came in to check on me about an hour later & with a basket full of bolts, I told him I was almost done. He said not to hurry & went back to the car. Another hour later, he came back in & I had put every thing back & had an empty cart. When I saw him I said I was ready to go. He had the most dumb founded look on his face & when we go to the car, without me buying one thing, he said to me "I just don't understand you sometimes". I worry about myself at times too. LOL
What a sweet, patient, husband you must have.
I believe as sewers we just like to look and touch and see what is out there. We can dream of what we would like to make and then somewhere along the way our common sense kicks in and we tell ourselves I really don't "need" this fabric. It is just a "want" at this time, so we go empty handed but happy we had the experience.
