Went back to my sewing room this afternoon before Hubby came home from work. He usually just pokes his head in the room says something then leaves. Not this time. He walks in, looks around and starts counting sewing machines :? Spots a little black box sitting on the floor and says, what's this? Another sewing machine? Well yes honey it is. Let me show you how cute this little thing is. (Picked up my FW about 4-5 months ago) He agreed it is cute but how many machines to you need? My answer. How many guns and fishing poles do you need? I did tell him I'm done buying. (Unless I find a really, really, really good deal somewhere :thumbup: ) I didn't bother to remind him that I have a Redeye coming up from Ca. for free. :thumbup: I have 2 sergers. Those don't count, right?

Buy one and sell it for 3 times what you paid. That'll shut him up.

Have you tried subliminal messaging- After he goes to sleep keep whispering MY wife needs one more sewing machine--on alternate nights try- My wife needs fabric :-)

Good comeback! I'd ask mine how many more screwdrivers he needs!

One day my DH said he wanted to go to Cabelas and look at fishing poles.....I looked at him and said, "this might be a strange question coming from me, but why do you need so many fishing poles"

I mean seriously, in my head I am thinking you only have 2 hands, how many different fishing poles are really necessary LOL

Of course he explained the need, and away we went. Of course on that same day we also stopped at the Cross Stitch shop AND fabric store :thumbup:
