I just wish my husband had a hobby other than being a couch potato. Oh, I forgot, he does have one with his mother. Its called "going to the grocery store" At least 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes more. The most important piece of paper in our house are the grocery ads. At least I always have a project or two going, not to mention my books in every room.

My husband and I don't have any kind of joint account. So we have never had a fight over money. Boy, we would have if we had a joint account. My husband loves his toys. 2 boats (at once) 2 of everything in the scuba line, 2 cars (just his). I could go on and on. So my fabric isn't much compared to his stuff. Although I'm glad he never found out about my jewelry buying spree on GemsTV. Thankfully they are off TV now.

I do not sneak anything in, if I want it and can afford it I get it--he does the same thing. No problem in our house except space.

So it's true - the good men are all taken!

Been married for 28 years to my second husband and hoping for many more years together. When the subject of how many times I've been married comes up, which is rarely, I always say "I learned from my mistake. The first one taught me to appreciate the second."

I can't sneak anything in because I don't have money, but when I did work, I never hide anything from hubby unless it was for him, as a matter of fact I would walk in and say look what I bought. It has been a very long time sience I got to say those words. God bless.

My husband also takes me to the fabric stores and waits patiently for me in the car...and never asks how much I spent.

He bought me the Bernina 200 Artista sewing machine when we retired. It knows more than I do about sewing, lol.

After 38 years DH us definately a KEEPER!!

My DH tells me I don't need to buy any more fabric.

I tell him he doesn't need to buy any more cigarettes.

We listen to each other equally well.

Maybe we should be inquiring as to creativity to getting it in?? :)

Happy Quilting
I have my own money and do not need to smuggle any thing in. I usually show DH some of the things I do bring home.

whilst I too have my own money do have to sneak some things in especially quilt tops I buy, husb thinks I have far too much stuff around including reading books, he works p/time ,does occasional jigsaws and collects GB stamps so his hobbies take little room compared to mine .
