Saw this and busted out laughing. This meme describes my life to a tee. But on a serious note guys, crafting with your wife is a bonus! So this is really directed to my fellow hubby-of-the-crafter guys out there!
I’m always teasing my babydoll that I want to be buried at Hobby Lobby or Sew This!, so she comes to visit me once a while (more like once a week! 😜).
Sometimes I’m not sure who is more excited at a craft store, Barb, or me watching her creative mind exploding.
Y’all just have to visit our house. On any given day you will find a craft room disaster (yet she knows where everything is). There are always projects beside her chair in the living room and threads all over the carpet.
The ironing board is permanently set up in guest bedroom and often stuff all over the bed. When all available surfaces run out, she expands to the dining room table and breakfast bar. Often I set up a folding table in the living room to move the Silhouette out there so we can work on projects together.
What amazes me is, although there are organized crafting projects everywhere, our house remains relatively clean. How she manages that, I will never fully understand.
Now this is for all you husbands out there who are less than supportive about your wife’s crafting, A HAPPY WIFE IS A HAPPY LIFE! If you want to go fishin’ and huntin’ without a guilt trip the size of Texas, go buy your wife a gift card at your local craft or fabric store BEFORE announcing ‘honey goin’ fishin’ with the boys this weekend’.
Better yet, try crafting with her once in a while. We started out doing some wooden projects together and it expanded. I actually enjoy spending as much time as possible with my girl. She talks and I get to say ‘uh huh’, ‘sure baby, looks great’ and she’s thrilled. If I occasionally fix the bird’s nest that’s bound to happen in the embroidery machine, immediate hero status.
Guys crafting is really a cheap trade-off for the benefits you’ll reap later on (😍😜 if ya know what I mean!) Seriously, y’all women are so dang nosy. I know none of you stopped reading when I said this was directed at the men folk. Good golly ain’t nothing sacred anymore!
