Tell him fabric is much cheaper than paying for therapy or a divorce.
Thank for the fusible fleece ideas, everyone!

Nice birthday gift.
Nice birthday gift.

DH really is not happy? Would he rather you be out spending money??? As long as you're not already a hoarder, this booty should not make him cranky!

Yes, they will get a thank you card, maybe a pan of brownies, and something made from the stash, as soon as I can.
