Craft Sale, Pissed off Cat, 193 of 300 and counting

I am going to be a vendor at a craft sale this Saturday, it is from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm  at

Jerrett Funeral Home-Vaughan Chapel

8088 Yonge Street

Thornhill, ON

 

I am hoping for a better turnout than my first craft show.  This show is to raise money for Diabetes research, what a great cause.

 

Spread the word and hope you can make it if you are nearby.

 

So remember my back bedroom was a bit flooded?  I had to lift up the carpet and remove the cushioning underneath it.  This however has upset my one cat, Madison, she runs the household.  So to show how unhappy she is she has been Peeing everywhere, and leaving poop presents.  I am doing laundry constantly and need to keep everything off the floors.  I have used about a jug of vinegar to get rid of the smell but I am sure it still lingers.  Any suggestions on how to make Madison happy?   Anything better than vinegar to clean up the smell of cat pee?

Happy Times......Not so much  :(

 

Here are a few new items I have made, I am at 193 of my 300 items to be created with my supplies on hand before I can purchase more supplies

New flooring, New Clocks and christmas in July

So I had a leak in my spare bedroom, thought it was the roof thank goodness it turned out my dehumidifier had a leak.   I have ripped up half the carpet and padding from the floor as it was soaked through and through.  I am not a fan of carpet and wanted to have laminate floors (faux wood) in the spare room but was not planning on doing it for a year or so  lol  Well I guess I was wrong on that timing.  The past owners of my house left some of the laminate flooring they had left over from the hallway and office, maybe I will have enough to do the spare room.  I have no clue about flooring, how much will be needed and so forth.  Thank goodness I know people who know things  :)


I have made a Hoop Art Clock that can be found in my shop.  I already have embroidered Hoop Art Clocks where I would put whatever specific time people wanted but now I have tried my hand at a functioning clock made from Hoops, fabric and buttons.
Here is the first design, hope you like it I know I do

 

I plan on making ones with Dogs, Cats, For the teacher in your life, Kitchen themed and Christmas themed.  If you have any suggestions for a design/Theme I want to hear from you.  Thanks
