Welcome back from Australia. We have fires and floods on a regular basis out here.
I hope you haven't lost fabrics from your stash as well. If you were closer I'd love to share some of mine. I haven't been able to sew for ages. My inflammatory arthritises and my husbands poor health plus moving to Melbourne have kept me away from the sewing room. Hopefully after next weeks breast biopsy and I get the results I will feel able to start sewing again.hang in there: you aren't alone.
