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
