My wife wouldn't let me sell one of my ukes, unless I get one to replace it. Specifically, I would have to get a solid zebrawood uke, before I can replace the zebrawood laminate I have (and don't play often at all).
Since that discussion, I think I've acquired another 4 or 5 instruments, but I'm still prohibited from getting rid of that specific uke.
And the only criticism I got after buying a new PA system was that I didn't have her check the specs first, as she has previously worked in the A/V design industry - but when she saw it was in the JBL Professional Series, she allowed that I had made a good choice.
So yes, she is comfortable with my having 23 ukuleles. And 4 spinning wheels, 20+ drop spindles, and around 50 pounds of roving, waiting for me to spin it; And did I mention the Looms? 2 in storage, 2 waiting to be used. (Plus the new portable loom I just got for her).
She also just taught me to knit, as physical therapy. Soon, I can start using some of that yarn I've made, over the past 5 years... unless she beats me to it.
