Another reason to love DH

He called me from WalMart asking about the various types of yarn needles they have available. I think he's bringing about 3 or 4 multi-packs home for me. Yes, he goes overboard, but now I can finish my project :)

Re: Another reason to love DH

  • aw, that is truly an excellent DH.  I was trying to explain to mine what Kona cotton was yesterday- it was not a good time.

  • Aw, very sweet.

    My H is needle-phobic and is so paranoid about somehow getting poked by them. He would flip if I lost a tapestry needle (even if it was "lost" somewhere in my supplies). If he had his way, I'd poke holes in the fabric with a fork and push the thread through.

  • Awwww.

    My husband is an enabler in the sense that he keeps his mouth shut when I'm buying supplies. He even asked me if I would rather do my crafting after working a 6th straight day instead of having a date with him!   ;)

    My H is an enabler in the sense that he SAYS "You can make that!" at everything! lol I've done enough crafts/DIY stuff that has saved us money, and now he thinks DIYing everything saves money. He loves my quilts, but I think he'd sh!t if he saw how cheap (and sh!tty, he knows what good fabric feels like!) you can get quilts in a store. I don't think he realizes that I spend upwards of $50 on each baby quilt I make, $100+ for bigger quilts!

  • I don't think my husband has figured out the dollar amounts I spend yet on supplies for quilts or 'they were on sale' fabrics/yarns for future projects.  I know I would probably never hear the end of it.  But he is happy that I can craft and enjoy making and giving handmade items so he doesn't mention it if he has done the math.

  • My DH would probably freak out if he knew how much I spent on supplies (although I tend to go on binges and then buy nothing for months).  Altogether though he doesn't have a leg to stand on since it's my money and he also spends money on the video games he plays while I'm crafting.  So we're both spending money to stay entertained.  I just point out that my money also produces functional Christmas gifts.
