BarbieQ that's a great reply! You're marriage sounds like a fun marriage. The way it's suppose to be.

I'm lucky my husband doesn't say any thing about what I buy. But I am careful not to over do it. He likes the quilts I make for him and also know that Christmas present are bought a head of time and so are birthday gifts.

LOL my grandson wanted to know why I was cutting up a big piece of fabric into little pieces and then making big pieces from them. He is 4 and I am starting him out right he picked out the fabric for his quilt and was watching me make it.

My DH is encouraging, although he certainly doesn't shop for fabric with me. He knows sewing is my passion, as his is hunting and fishing. It works both ways for us. Whereas he can just hunt and fish pretty much during the day, I can sew well into the night also. Every now and then he might ask me if I'm going to the dungeon again. LOL

I must say though, that my husband was the one that encouraged me to buy my Bernina about 7 years ago. He went online and at that time they had a no interest deal so he told me to go for it.

Same for me. I got my Bernina two years ago because my old machine was giving me some problems. DH told me to get a new machine. I told him what I wanted was pretty expensive, and he never checked the price, just said get what I wanted. If he only knew....

Well does your husband have any hobbies? If so tell him he can't spend either. I don't understand women that let their husbands dictate what they do. With all the work a woman does around the house, meals, clothes etc and working a person should be able to do what they want. If you are a stay home woman you still deserve to have a great hobby. I would say good-bye love.

My sewing room is a 16X24 Building so I can sneek my stash in with out bothering him I usually go shopping for my stash with my sister or a friend I found it easier to ask for forgiveness than permission to buy stuff

Works for me. We have always had separate checking accounts too. I never question what he spends and he doesn't question me, although I always balance the accounts. And every year I enter checking account and charge card transactions into excel and then sort to know where our money was spent. That can be a real shocker sometimes. LOL

Now that all the kids are through college and no money owed to anyone, hubby and I are always surprised at how much we don't spend now. After raising three girls, a couple hundred a month on fabric doesn't get a reaction at all.
