Week 169 - Pompom Cat

Hello every human and cat.  It's Caturday and time to check a cat craft of this week.  What did my human friend M make this week?  She was doing something with yarn.  Knitting? Crocheting?  Let's have a look, shall we?

Pompom Cat

She made different size pompoms, sculpted and shaped them into head and body by scissors.

The right photo is pompoms before sculpted.

Then, put eyes and a nose to the head with glue.  The ears are also glued stray strands of yarn together to make a triangle shape and put pink felt on it by needle felting.  The whiskers are V shaped tiger tail wire inserted into pompom.

The nose and the tail are made by needle felting.

Attached head and body together, and tied ribbon to be finished.

Hello, pom girl!

Week 168 - Felt Cat Face Brooch

Hi humans and kitties.  How are you today?  It is the last weekend of May and the end of autumn.  It is getting colder.  I wanted to curl up in front of a heater this morning, but my human friend M took me to a vet.  Yes, it was an annual vaccination and health check time.  I hate it, but it is a necessary evil.  I don't have any health problem at this stage.  My teeth are clean.  The vet told me that I look younger for the age.

Now, let's check M's project of this week.

Felt Cat Face Brooch

M made a 3D cat face brooch by needle felting.

As she concentrated to make, she forgot to take a picture of making process.  When she noticed it, the cat face was almost done.  The right photo is just before inserting the right whiskers.

I checked it anyway.

Week 167 - Barrel Beads Bracelet

Hi everyone.  Are you enjoying your weekend?  It was frosty this morning here in Christchurch.  Hard to get up such a chilly morning.  I stayed on my human friend M's bed a little bit longer.  Frosty morning means a sunshine day ahead.  And it was wonderful blue sky above.

I enjoyed this beautiful autumn day and, of course, I didn't forget my work.

This week, M made a unique bracelet.

Barrel Beads Bracelet

It is used 4 cat glass barrel beads, smokey pink clear beads and black suede round beads.

All beads put through two clear elastics to make it durable.

I like these suede beads.

Week 166 - Fake Leather Cat Coasters

Hello people and kitty cats.  It's exciting Caturday, to check brand new cat craft.  Drizzling here in Christchurch and looks like a typical winter day, although it hasn't been winter yet.  Anyway, I enjoyed snuggling in front of a heater and checking my human friend M's work.

This week M made two coasters using black and brown fake leather.

Fake Leather Cat Coasters

She attached felt as interfacing so that they get firm structure.

Changing the colour of the stitch puts an interesting effect.

Okay, let's have a check.

Checking...

See you next week.

Week 165 - Cat Arm Pouch

Hello everyone.  How are you today?  It is calm and warm here in Christchurch.  I watched autumn leaves falling down outside, while my human friend M crocheting something.

Here is the project of this week.

Cat Arm Pouch

M made an arm pouch to be used when you go jogging.  It keeps a key, coins and small thing securely, when your running wear doesn't have a pocket.

She crocheted a body part and held at the bottom to make a pouch, then attached a face part.

The photo right is a view from back.

Once she made the face with stitches and felt cheek, and attached the tail, she sewed it on the neoprene tube.

Just small thing can be hold.

M tried it on.

I checked the detail.

Week 164 - Round Cat Cushion

Hello humans and kitties.  How are you spending the first weekend in May?  As it was sunny today, I enjoyed warm autumn sunshine at the windowsill.  My human friend M was sewing something with a sewing machine.  What did she make?  Let's have a look.

Round Cat Cushion

This week, M made a cute cushion with a cat applique and pompom trim.

The applique part is cotton with interfacing on the back.

Pink ribbon is cute, isn't it?







M made a cut out cat cushion before.  The white cushion next the round cat cushion is the one.

I checked it the ribbon part.

Week 163 - Trio the Cat Necklace

Hi cat people, craft lovers and wise cats.  It is Caturday, and Anzac day in New Zealand.  Much quieter than usual Saturday.  Lovely weather here.  So I enjoyed a nap and had early dinner.  When I finish this blogging, I am going to take a snooze.  Purrfect life!

This week, my human friend M made a stylish and unique necklace using polymer clay.

Trio the Cat Necklace

First, she made a cat pattern on paper.  

Kneaded three colours of polymer clay, and roughly cut out the cat shape with the pattern.  

Then made the detail and smooth surface.  Made a hole to be connect.

Baked them in the oven to be harden.

Once the clay cats were cool, attached Q pins to connect together. 

Connect silver chains with clasps. 

I am checking anyway.
