Martina, I am a firm believer in retail therapy (as long as it doesn't affect the budget). When my parents were both ill, I would occasionally go to an upholstery outlet and buy a yard or so. I was intending to make bags, but didn't have time to sew. I did make some totes, but had a bunch of yardage left unused. I eventually realized that the fabric had fulfilled it's purpose for me just by being purchased & getting my mind off problems for a while. I donated most of it. It was sure cheaper than therapy!
Hope everything resolves itself happily.
