I agree with Maureen, you do work and have equal say in the income even if you don't work outside the home, you work inside the home. This is your passion and you don't seem to be a frivolous person. I wouldn't feel guilty. Maybe just count it as your early xmas / bday gift. Talk with your spouse, I'm sure he knows this is important to you.
Hugs... sorry about your broken lens. Kathryn
