First I am sorry to hear about all the pressure you were under. Who can work when you are that stressed??? I am so glad that both your DH and your son are ok. I am glad your neighbors are too. What a fright!
I think you hit the nail on the head when you had your lightbulb moment!! Sometimes those fears sit right below the surface and we can not get a handle on the root of the problem. I think you found that root.
All the board had some great advice! We have all been there at some time in our lives. I have to say I love this forum. We are all quite a group, and Thank God for you all.
Now on to my advice, if you have no room in the sewing room then try the dining room table!
LOL You and yours are in my prayers.

It worked.... once again, you guys rock! :-)
I went into my cave last night after dinner, with the door shut and the heater on. Well, the door was open a little bit so the quilt inspectors could come and go as they wished. *sigh* LOL
I cleaned up yesterday, so my work table was clear and everything was in its place.
And when I sat down I thought "I don't HAVE to get this done, I WANT to get this done".
With a few breaks and visits out to the lounge to make sure hubby hadn't disappeared or turned into a frog, I got two more of my black and white blocks done. 10 down, 2 to go!

I read somewhere ages ago that eating chocolate releases the same endorphins in the brain as having sex does. I tell myself that chocolate fixes everything! LOL

Sorry to hear about your not so fun excitement. Glad to hear it turned out to be not so bad as it could have been.
Misfortunes tend to help us realize just how fragile we humans are, and how quickly things can change, up or down.
I try to plan handwork or quiet sewing time in the livingroom with hubby when he is home ... I don't have to be looking deeply into his eyes every moment, but being able to just "be" together helps us a lot.
And, now! Your five minutes are up! <g>
