His problem with my fabric purchases is a matter of my already having a three lifetime supply, and my sewing room is beginning to have a very cluttered look. I understand his thinking, and I often feel guilty, but the devil eggs me on to make "just one" more purchase. Guess I am truly hooked, and if leaving my pkgs in the trunk until the coast is clear helps to keep the peace, so be it!!
Amen to that. I just don't want to hear: "Oh, just what we need - more fabric". That is why I bring my packages in when he is not around. I sneak the fabric in, but it is in plain view in my sewing room. If he notices and asks, I tell him.
