How did we get to May already?!
Just a relist from me today. Harris tweed tea cosies are still my biggest sellers in my other shops, and I’m hoping to educate Folksy buyers into the same habits.

Don’t feel guilty. My brother was insistent that my mother went back to her sheltered flat after a spell in hospital. She had the maximum amount of care and I stayed in a flat in the complex. I put my life on hold for months until even he could see it was impossible. With her the nastiness came from the loss of power and decision making.
It’s a difficult decision to make but for her it was the best thing that could have happened. She had 24 hr care and although she used to moan about it she was happier there than at home.

So sorry to hear your mum is deteriorating and needing a lot of extra help. Can’t be easy, but interesting to hear Cat @BabanCat’s positive experience of her mum going into a home.
Hope we have you dancing from dawn to dusk and more Sarah @thedotterypotter! Adding my thanks to those already given for you hosting the thread this month.
I’m still busy making stock for the weekend’s fair - hoping the sales there justify the effort!

Evening all! Happy May!
Thanks for looking after us all @thedotterypotter
May hasn’t started well really. Was at the hospital really early this morning with the youngest, thankfully she hasn’t fractured anything. And my soon has an infection that has spread from his broken tooth and he’s in agony, all the teeth are loose, it’s just a nightmare. He’s on antibiotics, I’m just hoping they start working 
Nice to see old and new faces. Sorry about your mum @carolinefrodsham please don’t feel guilty x
I’m all caught up with the April thread, and a new listing from me:

Happy dancing for the start of the month sales! Amazing!
Been asked to work today, covering as a receptionist, but an extra days pay helps toward the new boiler fund!
My item for today is a rustic fancy Banded Agate gemstone keyring or handbag charm.

So sorry to hear you concerns for your mum Caroline @carolinefrodsham and it’s a double loss when a parent deteriorates into illness this way, you start to grieve for them, even when they are physically still with us, and yet are not. It’s a very tough decision, but as others have said, if you have to let her go into a home, it is a kindness too, but one that really pulls at our heart strings.
Sending hugs.

Good morning all. Sunny but cool here today.
So many lovely things on here. Stunning hare pot Sarah.
Hugs for you Caroline @carolinefrodsham it’s very hard having to arrange for a parent to go into a home but in the long run it’s best for everyone and the time you spend with them in the home is quality time and not stress time. I had to arrange for my dad to go into a home as he became very frail, lost mobility and balance and had a number of falls. After an initial settling in period where he was quite withdrawn he suddenly blossomed and because my dad again. The staff were brilliant with him and made the last 6 months of his life happy, safe and comfortable for him.
Another tote bag from me today

Happy May everyone, didn’t get a chance to post yesterday.
I’m sorry so many of you are having such a tough time right now, it can be incredibly stressful trying to juggle so many things. I hope you all manage to take a minute or two to yourselves now and then to regroup.
I’m all caught up till this point (yay me! LOL)
A relist from me today. I’ve completely lost my knitting mojo and also have a load of things to photograph but feeling rather deflated at the lack of sales anywhere. I’m definitely suffering from Whatsthepointitis with it all.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy and successful month!
