My husband is very supportive of my hobbies. In fact, he purchased my last 2 sewing machines as gifts and built a quilt frame for one of them. Whenever he teases me about the number of sewing machines I have, I remind him it pales in comparison to the number of his toys. We have separate incomes, separate finances, mutual respect and consideration.
That said, however, one of his nicknames for me is "The War Department."
