Just talked to hubby about purchasing an Accu-quilt. He surprised me and said fine, as long as the bills are paid. Maybe my Christmas gift?

my hubby likes to make little remarks about me buying fabric or a sewing machine like aint u got enough fabric . i say hey its my money u buy what u want so i dont wanna hear it. that just shuts his mouth up .im not asking if i can spend my own money .

My husband never bothered me about what I bought for my crafts or quilting. Went through stages of ceramics, macrame, knitting, crocheting and now quilting. It is nice to be lucky.

IMHO you are absolutely right, but sometimes we forget and give in. Years and years ago our 5 yo son nearly was expelled from Kingergarten (Honest), saw pediatrician, who recommended therapist, who also told DH during one therapy session that if he had to hire someone to do what I do, he'd be paying over $40,000/yearly in 70's $. At least he could no longer say our son's behavior was all my fault, but then that's his easy out. I want you all to know that if anything bad happens, it's my fault, I'm the responsible one. Just so you know. lol After 43 years - too late for divorce, we just have separate bedrooms, much better. Sorry, for my venting, but having a bad day with arthritis pain - makes me __itchy.

I agree 100%! I am very fortunate that my hubby supports my hobbies, and I support his. He goes to quilt shops and quilt shows with me just as I go with him to home improvement stores and sporting goods stores. We even work on each other's projects!

That's what we are here for. Venting helps, that's one of the many good things about this board. It's mostly women and we get to say what we want about whatever we want and there is always someone who has had a similar experience. You never know who's life you might make a difference in.

Well, count me lucky, too..dh never says a word...just chuckles when I make the jokes about it myself...he has his woodworking, hunting, and fishing, I have my quilting, embroidery, and fabric acquiring...enough said...

Sorry...sending you a quilty hug...

I have a little mini rolling pin that I inherited from my nanny, it has a picture of a little woman wearing a bonnet chasing a little man in overalls....it says "Husband Tamer" on it....lol..I remember her having it all through my childhood, and must have commented on it, as she gave it to me when I was in early adulthood...I have it on a shelf in the kitchen along with her antique biscuit cutter, her mini toy iron stove, and another little trinket that says, "A retirees wife gets twice as much husband for half as much money!"...my grandma was such a great lady, great sense of humor...good thing for my Papa, eh??..
