I regularly sneak in fabric; but yesterday tops everything I've ever sneaked past my DH.
I went to my Mom's quilt show (no, it's not hers, really, but that's what I call it); and one of the vendors was selling jewelry. The beads were made of fabric. Well, it so happened one of the necklaces went very well with my outfit, so I bought myself a belated birthday present, and wore it home. My DH looked right at me when I walked in the door, and never said a thing!

This is so funny. I just got back from Wal-mart and snuck in a table top ironing board and a $5.00 bolt of fabric. I also hide all the bags from the fabric shops and hide the receipts in my underwear drawer. (I like to keep up with what I spent on a project)

I dont sneak fabric either, unless its something that I am making for my hubby. He doesnt mind, although he does tease me no end about how much fabric I have. We also give ourselves an allowance each for each month and what we want to buy, we buy. But if something is more expensive than my monthly allowance, then I always ask....or bargain with him lol. He does the same with me. It works for us

My hubby did not know how much I had until we moved into a small house and had to pay for a storage unit to hold the fabric. We have a much larger house now and I still need at least 2 rooms just for the fabric. I work part-time at Hancocks that does not help.

Gee, this is an interesting topic! Yea, I don't sneak either, we never had hid things from each other in all the 36 yrs we been married! He can look anytime at my fabric stash,(although he really doesn't want too), he just put some shelves up today in my sewing room for me after he painted them for me! He always does so much for me, like he made my big board ironing board, he put up pegboard and he fixes my sewing machines when needed! A real keeper he is, we always know about what our limit is on spending, he rarely spends anything, not sure if that is a plus or not! Makes me look like the spender for sure! However if I was ever tempted this would be the week to sneak, I have over spent my fabric budget this month by 3 1/2 times, and just found out a friend has bought me some more fabric at her neighbor's garage sale (a longarmer who decided it was time to hang it up) so you can imagine how much fabric is there for the asking. Yep, I am sure blowing it this month, but I will never hide things from this wonderful man, I would rather he know that yes once again I am spending! I will have several Christmas gifts done and I make some things for charitiy and when the snow flys I will have plenty of stash! It makes me happy and he is always happy with that! I would not ever spend it if we couldn't afford it, I am usually pretty frugal so, I don't feel guilty at all! I couldn't enjoy it otherwise! I am so blessed!

I asked my husband if he minded me spending money on my quilting. He answered no you enjoy it don't you. I said yes. then he asked why you don't spend that much do you and I just smiled. I never hid it from him but did not always leave it in plain site! He was a keeper.

That is sad on every level. She went through her last life struggle alone, and her family was left to literally pick up the pieces from her last months of life and mourn at the same time.
