I think only a quilter can see the logic between Welding and Sewing.

So sorry to hear that you have been laid off from work. Keep your chin up & think positive - something may well turn up unexpectantly, you know how when your not looking sometimes that door of opportunity appears.
Keeping you in my thoughts. My job also looks very bleak. I am currently looking for alternative work too.

1) Start your job hunt now, not when your unemployment runs out. Your job right now is to 'find a job.' With the market like it is, it may take some time and you may find yourself headed in a new direction. You may not find anything making the money you make now. Chances are though, it will pay more than unemployment.
2) Don't get discouraged. These things take time. It's easier to do when you are not completely without income. You'll also interview better while you still have the unemployment safety net - it's an attitude thing.
Hang in there!

This too is an opportunity .... the hardest thing I have ever had to teach the kids is: The only limit is your imagination ...
