Default Life after the flood

My sewing studio flooded 3 years ago, 3 foot of water. Loads of fabric thrown out. Now , I feel I can get it back. Stacks of fabric and lots of work to redo. I need weeks of work and have less than 2 weeks to do it. Stopping buying fabric, but need to give away or fold it . My church uses loads for fabric for Habitat for Humanity, , veterans, and children's hospital quilts. So they will benefit from my overage. Life begins again.

We can't stop but continue to move forward, and it sounds like you are doing just that. Hard work, but it sounds like you have the backbone to continue. Kudos to you!

My room got flooded several years ago. After the initial shock wore off I tried to look at it as an opportunity to improve things. I wish you the best of luck - dealing with water damage is a nightmare!

So sorry to hear what you have been through, but it is the bouncing back that matters now. It's good to see that you are regaining your strength and returning to what you love.
