Dianne, my heart aches for you and all the other ladies here whose DHs don't support their habits. Reading all these posts has confirmed what I already knew- I am blessed with a true gem of a DH. I don't have to work, and as long as I keep the house (relatively) clean and he doesn't run out of clean underwear (oops!) not only does he not mind, he's very very supportive. We eat leftovers or soup and sandwiches 3 or 4 times a week, and he never complains. He loves all my quilts. About half of the quilts I make are gifts for friends and family, and he always says we should keep them, but I know he's very proud of my work. Whatever I want, within reason, he says, yeah, get it.
But, he's a gadget geek, and probably has spent alot more over the years (39!) than I have! His latest is a digital SLR camera, and he has spent HOURS in front of the computer on tutorials.
