Somebody needs to pinch me....my DH just called to let me know he was headed home from the doctor. He was in the parking lot at JoAnn's and wondered what I wanted! WHAT? We live and hour from there so it's a treat when I get to go and he knows it! I picked out a 12 1/2 " square up ruler...he said "what else" so I chose a 6 1/2" square up ruler...he said "what else"? After I picked my teeth up off the floor I sent him to the batting and he picked out a queen size per my instructions! WOW, maybe I'm still asleep or he has been blinded by all the snow! How lucky am I ? He didn't even have coupons!

He must have gotten really good news from the Doctor to perk him up so! good for you, too. give him a big hug (())

What a wonderful husband you must have.

lovingmama 01-12-2011 08:44 AM

Woo hoo!

Are you the winner of the big Lottery Jackpot?

Either way, you won! How lovely of your husband.

kriscraft99 01-12-2011 08:46 AM

hmmmmm... either he is being super nice or... he went to his favorite store fist :D

np3 01-12-2011 08:54 AM

What a special treat! Enjoy it!

fidgety 01-12-2011 08:56 AM

Wow... lucky you... I think I could send my Dh to the store for womens personal items but I do not think he would even think about going to a fabric store for me. lol....

Jennifer22206 01-12-2011 08:58 AM

that's awesome news! Have fun with your new toys!

CompulsiveQuilter 01-12-2011 09:01 AM

My DH won't even go into Joann's with me when we're out together ... even when I REALLY DO just need a few items and don't have to wait to get fabric cut. He says he feels like a "crazed woman" in there. lol. He would never, ever go in alone. You've got a keeper who respects your obsession.

Tennessee Suzi 01-12-2011 09:02 AM

We have been together for 46 years and he is always surprising me!

Carrie Jo 01-12-2011 09:03 AM

Just when we think there is no hope for them they do something so sweet.. congrats teaching him well.

Tennessee Suzi 01-12-2011 09:04 AM

Yes I do...he was in Knoxville. He just called and is almost home so I'm super excited! My birthday is in February so maybe this is an early gift. Who cares???

dakotamaid 01-12-2011 09:09 AM

To get me to go for a motorcycle ride with him my hubby always checks to see if there is a quilt shop on the route. (These are 1/2 day or more rides) He is safe as there is only so much room on his bike for me and fabric. But when I do go I always come home with something!!

leatheflea 01-12-2011 09:17 AM

You're so lucky to have such a great man.

okiepastor 01-12-2011 09:17 AM

How nice!

Tennessee Suzi 01-12-2011 09:20 AM

Okay...we used to ride too and I had a backpack! You won't believe what will fit in those things. It was great when he bought the super duper bike that had saddle bags! I am one creative packer!

Momof3Es 01-12-2011 09:21 AM

Make sure he knows that we all think he is a super great hubby for doing this for you. AND make sure you tell us why...when you find out of course. If that's not prodding.

Tennessee Suzi 01-12-2011 09:21 AM

Blessed!

You guys will be the first to know!

I would be suspicious if it was my husband. I would think he has a mistress, or wanted new golf clubs :roll: :lol:

Wow, that's wonderful when they do something like that! And no coupons...that's even nicer of him.

What a sweetheart you have

yolanda 01-12-2011 09:33 AM

that is amazing - let him know how much you appreciate what he did (and he'll do it more) :-) ... my boyfriend loves to rearrange my blocks and help me pin and sometimes he'll cut for me.

Mariposa 01-12-2011 09:35 AM

You are blessed to have such a thoughtful hubby!

amma 01-12-2011 09:38 AM

What a sweet and thoughtful DH :D:D:D

wichypoo 01-12-2011 09:40 AM

Maybe he is hoping to get lucky too. lol This man is a keeper!

BellaBoo 01-12-2011 10:03 AM

Remember you can order online from Joann's and use the coupons. I seem to have more online coupons then store coupons sent to me in email.
I asked DH to stop by Hancock's to buy a new pair of Pinking shears for me. I was too busy to go. He came home with three pair. He said he didn't know what color I wanted the handles (before cell phones) He bought a Fiskars orange handle, Gingher, silver metal handles, and one brand with black handles. He said the employee said I could bring back the pairs I didn't want. I kept them all. I smile every time I see them in my sewing room.

Magdalena 01-12-2011 10:14 AM

Ahhh, that was so sweet.

cathyvv 01-12-2011 10:18 AM

What a nice way of saying, "I love you!"

suebee 01-12-2011 11:32 AM

LMBO!! That is awesome! What a guy!

CarrieAnne 01-12-2011 12:46 PM

What a nice guy!

Tinabodina 01-12-2011 12:59 PM

I sent my husband after some batting the other day and he got exactly what I wanted. WOW!!!

AngieS 01-12-2011 01:04 PM

My DH wouldn't go near a QS! LOL He'd say-I don't know what you want!!!

Well, he got new golf clubs earlier this year, as for a mistress, that could be interesting! lol

RatherB Quilting 01-12-2011 02:04 PM

What a wonderful man! My Hubster won't go into Joann's with me anymore. He knows when he's in there I make him choose colors for me. He'll suggest way out there colors just so I will stop asking him. "I think flourescent orange would be just fine with pink." LOL

RatherB Quilting 01-12-2011 02:13 PM

Hm. Posted twice accidentally. Sorry!

AnnieH 01-12-2011 02:16 PM

What a smasher he is.

I said golf clubs because that was always a sore spot between us. Every few years my husband would say he needed new golf clubs; so every time I told him if he got new golf clubs I got a new sewing machine. He never had a mistress, unless you could call golf his mistress. But he always got very "nice" when he was up to something. :roll: :lol:

dkabasketlady 01-12-2011 07:21 PM

I guess after 46 yrs., he knows what makes you happy!! Lucky You!!

jeanneb52 01-13-2011 02:33 AM

Now what kind of doctor was that??? Perhaps my DH needs to go also.
