Tell hubby he can have the garage, and the rest of the house is pretty much yours...that's the way it's been for milenia before he came around and if it's good enough for our "make the wheel"ancestors, it should be good enough for him! LOL

okay ... here is the deal!
As long as you are in the house, on the property, and NOT headed to the car for a "quick trip" ... he is saving money! As long as he is saving money, how can he protest that the only place left to sit is his easy chair?
He is such a GOOD provider! May his tribe increase! <g>

You guys are quite creative in all aspects of life! LOL
Had a friend around to sew last night, we alternate one week here, one week at her place. And while hubby was hiding out in the garage he made us both a 12 1/2 inch square, and a 6 1/2 inch square out of perspex.
The best thing he's ever done though.... I bought some buttons for a project, five rather small buttons, and they were in a tiny paper bag. When I got home from the store I decided to clean the car out before going inside, and accidentally threw the little bag out.
When I went to finish my project, and realised the buttons were missing I was so gutted. There was no way I was fishing through the rubbish bin, and the store was closed for the weekend. While I was inside having a wee tanty, hubby went out and went through all the rubbish and found the tiny little paper bag with five tiny little buttons in it.

i don't remember how much it cost. i do remember that it wasn't INexpensive. but i have seen it in catalogues and online. you might be able to find it at a better price discounted somewhere. if you search, i'm sure you could find information on how to use and maybe where to find.
i just tried it. if you pop in bubble jet.com, there are loads of sites with info.

The bubble jet sets the ink jet into the fabric. After following the directions, the next step is to soak the printed fabric in a - - I forget what it's called .... shoot! and, now I can't find it ... but there was a liquid that I had to soak it in after it got printed on ... and that adhered the ink to the fabric threads.
I made 250 totes for a gavel passing event perhaps two years ago ... the logo was huge! a full sheet size of a cowboy on a rearing horse ... you get the picture <g> ... anyway, they are holding up very well, and we all know how totes get used. May even be washed more than a quilt, to be sure, eh?
