Hubby would never dare tell me I spend to much on my quilting or anything else considering the stuff he buys for himself or has in the past. I don't feel I have to justify what I do buy either. I've worked since the age of 5 working in potato fields (did not have labor laws back than like they do now) and worked all my adult life therefore feel no need to justify what I may choose to buy. Lies get us no where so just tell him the truth and be done with it. Personally I could never be married to or have as a partner anyone that questioned how I spent my money.
