Thanks, everyone, for all your kindness and good wishes. I so wish I had been able to do this month's theme because I would have made a quilt with everyone's name on it -- I am thankful for all you wonderful QB members. You are amazing.
I posted this elsewhere, but that bathtub decor will have to be put on the shelf for another time. Once they did the rip out (walls and floors so they can dry and disinfect) it became apparent that the storm surge knocked my poor little cottage off the foundation and cracked the ceiling beams ... so it's just a matter of time and figuring how the how's of it all, but the house is coming down.
BUT ... I have to look on the sunny side -- if all works out we will be able to rebuild -- raising the house up 10 feet -- and I will have a bigger, sunnier, cleaner sewing room! (At least that's why I keep telling myself)
