[quote=Anonymous]I'm a woman and I like making things from time to time, but mostly out of stuff I already have. Or drawing using art supplies I already have (various times in my life I've done a lot of drawing and sometimes painting, then it just stops for years)--which can lead to additional purchases (a fancy mat cutter so I could try matting my own pieces, for example). This would drive me nuts. Plus. I know plenty of people who very compulsively buy craft-related stuff, use some of it, the rest piles up (they are the same people who buy amber beads for teething infants, I swear). It's a form of hoarding in my book.

I think OP has the right to not want tacky stuff on the walls and surfaces or materials cluttering up shared living space, I think he has the right to object if his wife is compulsively buying craft stuff she does not use, I think he has the right to object to Hobby Lobby, I think he has the right to object to financial strains. Of course, that means his wife is fair to have analogous objections to his interests. [/quote]
