I have found a product that has been very helpful in removing urine stains. I am not connected with the company in any way, absolutely none, but I've cleaned lots of pet fluids from carpets and upholstery, have used lots of cleaners, and this one works better than the others, it's called Folex, and I get it at Lowe's. It might be worth a try. I always look forward to your blog posts. Your projects and garden are inspiring! Don't let the *&%$#!***s on FB get you down -- unfortunately there are some evil people in this world. If you need any more info on the Folex, email me -- I buy it by the gallon!, and there's more info about it on their website. ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134591775873426737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-36169236349300740142014-07-16T16:17:53.891-07:002014-07-16T16:17:53.891-07:00Feel for you on the beautiful sampler book but I b...Feel for you on the beautiful sampler book but I believe your dog may have prevented the cats from clawing it to shreds by marking it with urine. Perhaps after washing it, and putting it back together, you'll discover it has a worn faded charm to it that wasn't there before, along with a story :) The morning we were leaving for Brimfield, our K.C. knocked over my prized Arts & Crafts stained glass lamp and broke one of the curved slag glass panels which no one seems able to repair. K.C.'s gone now but the lamp reminds me of her and it appreciate it for that. I guess you now have a Wabi Sabi book and I have a Wabi Sabi lamp - imperfect, but still beautiful :)(Karen) Lisa Daleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865000544569280939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-29342346602991935582014-06-25T09:00:39.881-07:002014-06-25T09:00:39.881-07:00How heartbreaking!

I'm trying to find a positive - like now it really looks like an antique - but I'm not believing it myself.... I'm so sorry.<br />Now, for the mean FB people - mean people suck! Don't let that person take you away from FB, I'm so glad you're there with your inspiring home, stitching and gardens!<br />Love the casket - like you, I'll never own one of those crazy expensive wood ones. I think this one looks like a LOT of work but it's every bit as pretty as the wood ones! Can't wait to see your progress pics as you complete it!Chocolates4Breakfast (Terri Malinovich)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13707920827509725199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-89064997324680740182014-06-21T08:02:56.576-07:002014-06-21T08:02:56.576-07:00Look at this way you have one of a kind piece.

Thank-you for all the sharing that you do. I am so sorry to see what has happened to your needlework book. I know I would shed a few tears over that one. Our pets are part of our family and we love them dearly, but there definitely are those times.....Your yard and garden are just beautiful!

That was one of the most wonderful cross stitch creations I had ever seen and I didn't know the story behind the closure. Your furbabies are very lucky to still be alive :)<br />Sorry you had a bad FB experience. I didn't know you were on there. I just sent a friend request and hope you won't abandon being there.<br />That casket design looks like another very detailed project, but you are a master at them!!!<br />Your yard is beautiful.

I don't know if this will work, but awhile ago I read somewhere on line that somebody had an accident where the silk had run and somebody suggested putting it in water for a few days changing the water when needed. I think it worked, but it would be a bit hard for you to do this seeing how it's a book. It could have been on Sampler World on Facebook. <br /><br />I know that you have had a bad experience with nasty comments on Facebook but the majority of people are really lovely. Don't let somebody who got out of bed the wrong way ruin things for you. After all they are just jealous of what you have and do. If you are in Sampler World or another F/B group similar to it post your photos and hopefully somebody will remember how the other sampler was fixed. I can only remember putting it in cold water and not letting it dry out until the threads had completely run. Hope you can fix this beautiful piece.samplerloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963651957114053583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-50469795719044597322014-06-19T16:31:08.447-07:002014-06-19T16:31:08.447-07:00Your gardens look beautiful!
