awww- I have to say- at times I kind of wish mine would sit out there on the bench & wait- I've asked my hubby to stop by a shop when we were going somewhere just to pick up a package of needles or some other (one little under $10 item) and wound up spending over $300! he kind of goes crazy over fabric collections some times- often costs me lots (and yes, once in a while he pulls out his wallet---but still--- I generally already have a ton of projects going on & really wasn't there for *all that*
I often try to make my quick runs to the quilt shop while he is at work-just to save money.
traveling/vacations tend to really get crazy with him- because he figures I can not get (this) at home- so I better take advantage here...
