On our anniversary last year, I forgot that I had a quilt guild meeting to attend. I invited him to come along. I said, "There's a free pot luck dinner." So of course, he was in. We went to the meeting and he had a blast and the ladies all loved it that he actually came! That really made him realize how much talent and artistic ability it takes to make a quilt. Since then I've made two quilts and he beams from ear to ear, almost like he'd made them himself. What a man!!!

I finally had to ask my hubby to stop encouraging me to buy fabric. I have to be very careful not to mention I like something.

Yes-MINE. I keep the books and do all the accounting but he always asks me-"do you really need that?" He has no hobbies other than reading and he does not like to buy books unless he 'knows' the author. He is hard to buy presents for as he always says 'I don't need anything" and clothes-forgetaboutit!!! He works from home and his clothes are sweats. When he does go out he wears cargo pants and t-shirt. Can we say nerd?? of the finest order.
The real secret is I would not change him or trade him for the world. He is the best thing to ever happen to me and loves me regardless of my 'passing fancies' and weird ideas. He just rolls his eyes when another package of fabric arrives. He does occasionally get snarky about my hobbies but all in all it passes quickly.

I have a DH like that. Leaves all the guilt on me! Gotta love those men.....

He also came with me for the end of a guild meeting, in time to show off my best ever quilt. It was his 80th birthday! and we HAD to go out for a nice dinner for that occasion!!!! He is truly what would be called 80 years young. I'm so lucky!!!
