My hubby is only interested in my sewing projects when it is for him. Otherwise, he steers clear!

Oh, honey -- NEVER EVER EVER let him see your stash!!!!! Good grief, girl!!!! Yes, buy some anyway --- maybe it'll help you get your head on straight. And any man that would say "you don't need any more".....welllllllll, maybe you need marriage counseling????????????????? ROL!

Never, never let him see ALL your stash. Would not be good for him.

I had a similar experience recently. My DH and kids spent an afternoon helping me clean out the household stuff that didn't belong on my sewing room. I then made an attempt to organize things on my new fabric shelf. Couldn't for the life of me find the Tonga Dimes kit I ordered from Keepsake Quilting. Searched everywhere and was just at a complete loss. Then something made me think to look in one of my project totes. The only thingthat normally travels in there is my hand-pieced grandmother's flower garden WIP. For some silly reason, I had put the Tonga Dimes in w/the WIP. Problem solved - but boy do I know how you feel!! Oh and BTW - go ahead and order the fabric you want - if you can't find it he never will! LOL!!

My DH saw my stash and said "You must have a couple hundred dollars worth of fabric in there!" I just said..."Yeah...." and smiled. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.

As soon as you buy more you'll find the other. Sometimes I sit and think through my steps from the purchase to "Where in the world did I have to move it to now?" So frustrating to be interrupted constantly and have to keep moving things. Getting organized isn't that easy, and staying that way takes effort too. But is worth it.
