i don't hide what i buy but i don't always flaunt it either. he really doesn't care. he has set up a fund for me to spend on quilt stuff. he likes to gamble so when ever he wins over $200 i get half of his winnings. usually i score about $150 to $200 a month. i don't use it all on quilting. it's just really nice to have a little cash of my own that i don't have to account for. also nice that i have a hubby that is good at cards.
