His reply ... "Just another sign you're crazy" and walked out of my office.

I cracked up.

How about you...have you been told you're crazy?

Ask him if he's ever thought about how many pieces of wood have to be nailed together to make a house.

Does that make me crazy? Hmmmmm......methinks NOT!

Be sure to sew lace on the edges of his undies and at the hem of his pants....or sew the legs shut about 3/4 of the way down. Of course some marking chalk on the inside of them would be good to so every time he sat down it would go "poof"!

Just kidding of course but dang it's soooo tempting.

Actually, he's spent a lot of money lately buying himself an entirely new wardrobe ... I considered taking a seam ripper to some of those new pieces, removing a few stitches here........clipping a few stitches there ........ nothing too drastic, but when he washes them, they'll start falling apart. I thought that might just be fun, too!

Yeah, I'm crazy .... so (in the words of Mrs. Doubtfire), "....don't FUSS with me...."

:shock: This is the look my DH gave me after asking what I was going to do with the 1.5" postage stamp pieces I received in the mail over the weekend.

Yep, that look said it all...and he might be right!

Hardly a day goes by that I don't hear that! I just take it as a compliment!

Ditto, everyone asks how we have the patience to work on something that takes so long. Sometimes I wonder too!

Fabric Whisperer said it right! We had to re-arrange to get it right!
