Amen----------------if I tallied the stuff in hubby's barn to my stuff in the house---------------his total would be 10 times mine, if not more. He designs trailers (flat beds for behind trucks) and repairs stuff. I design and make quilts, clothing, household stuff, and a lot of it is from fabrics I've inherited or bought for next to nothing.
