I'm so sorry to hear all of this Jay - I really hope that your wife gets better, and soon.

As for your puppets, I would be extremely disappointed to see you stop. Your work is just A-MAZ-ING and often reminds me to pursue puppetry to such an excellent degree. I can understand not having the emotional space or time for continuing; why not just put it on the backburner and if you feel like starting again, you can? Everyone would understand if you did.

 If I had the money (and if it was on offer) I wouldn't think twice about offering to buy your David Tennant puppet as it's my favourite. (Sadly last week I lost my latest job, so money is tight). I'd be more than happy to send a care package though, I have heaps of materials I've been meaning to get rid of.

I know I don't have antron, but I do have 'normal' fleeces, and other fabrics. I've probably got some other things that would be useful, just let me know if you'd like anything.

But whatever you do decide, there are people here who care and want to help in any way we can

I'm so proud to be a member here. It does not matter what the situation is these board members rally around with such Love and support. I value and appreciate everyone one of you more than you will ever know. This thread has also given me encouragement and I did not even know I needed it.

Best wishes! I agree with Shawn and Ben!

Agreed!

Just adding a short note that I have tweeted (and technically Facebook-posted, since my twitter account is hooked up to the latter) that people should buy your excellent tutorials and help support you and your wife. Mentioning the Doctor Who puppet may - I hope - get some people looking in and buying.

Oh Jay, I am here also to help you with whatever you need. I am stocked to the gills with SUPPLIES. Please let me know what else you need. I can send you some goodies!

My prayers are with both of you buddy!!!!

I just shipped a big box of goodies to you Jay. I'll see what else I can get together next month.

You are in my prayers Jay things will get better. Sometimes we just have to stop for a little bet and gather ourselves and take a breath and then start back up again. Those day jobs sure can be a pain. It is frustrating when things happen and take up all of our puppet time. Just hang in there my friend. God bless ya.

Jay, I haven't been around for quite a while, as my life has also pretty well fallen into pieces. Nonetheless, I can always offer you and your wife my prayers.

Gosh, it sounds like we need a support group - I hope things get better for you too Chris!
