Good morning - sunny and warm at the moment but apparently rain is on its way for the next few days.
Apologies that I have dropped off the thread but I have been busy (not 100% sure doing what!) and have temporarily (I hope) fallen out of love with felting so havent made anything in a while. However, I have ordered some new supplies which ususally gets me going again so hopefully I will be able to join in again next month.
In other news, my niece gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy (Henry David Neville) on thursday. Cant wait to meet him but think I will have to wait until later in July when my daughter is coming over from Belfast and then we will drive up together to see them.
Hugs to all that need them and hopefully be back soon.

Good morning everyone. Lots seems to be going on for everyone enjoy the fairs, treasure hunts etc. hope they all go well.
Lovely news about the baby.
We are going to tackle one of those big garden jobs we keep putting off weeding the long wall up our drive which has gone from floral opulence to weedy mess.
Just a realist for me apologies to those who have already seen this:

Good Morning everyone 
Congratualations on the baby news Roz @OrchardFelts x
It’s all a bit horrible here at the moment. Mr DP’s Dad (who some of you will remember me talking about as he has led us a merry dance over the last few years) had a collapsed lung yesterday, a bit out of the blue. He’s refusing to go to hospital, so they have put him on end of life care at home. They’ve put him on morphine and said that it could be a matter of hours or a matter of weeks. Mr DP stayed overnight there last night but has come home now. I had no idea that they could put people on end of life care at home and then leave them to it. If he had no-one to stay with him, he would have just been on his own.
I will try to keep up with the thread as I think it will be a good distraction but if I drop out quickly, I apologise in advance x
My listing today is this little acorn:
3 sales to report please Mel @aquilacrafts x

Sarah @dotterypottery …that sounds dreadful…but I suppose if someone refuses to go to hospital or a hospice etc, then they cannot go against their wishes.
Sending hugs xx
Roz @OrchardFelts …I hope you get your mojo back soon…I think we all get moments like that xx

Oh Sarah @dotterypottery that sounds tough, hope you and Mr DP can get some help. GPs and the district nursing team should be supporting you and your FIL - appreciate it is difficult for everyone when someone refuses care. Thinking of you all x

Sarah @dotterypottery, that’s awful. Most areas have a palliative care team who can be very supportive. Is there anything like that in your FIL’s area?
Just popping in with todays new listing.

@dotterypottery that’s really tough, I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that. I’m sure you’ve considered everything, but have you looked into support from Marie Curie or anyone like that? They can be really supportive for the family as well as the person being cared for. x

Good Day to All !
I’ve just listed this hanging decoration I made during the week. I posted a photo of the larger one I made last year for myself on Instagram and she seemed quite popular, so I made this smaller one to sell.
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend !

So sorry to hear about your f-i-l Sarah @dotterypottery
Yes, if a person is deemed to have ‘capacity’ their wishes are listened to and generally actioned. This does make it very hard on those who are caring for them though. End of life care can be provided at home and your GP should be able to arrange for visits from community nurses. Check out the NHS website for the 5 priorities of care …
I wish you and your family well at this very stressful time.
