My DH knows that I gain enjoyment as well as therapy from making quilts, so doesn't give me too much grief. But I do try to watch what I spend and not buy just to have....it must have an immediate purpose. He is also my sounding board for quilt designs, telling me what he likes and what just doesn't get it for him. I don't have a LA and he knows how bad I want one, so when I start dreaming and see them for sale online, he just gives me that look with the eye roll.
