Week 226 - Elegant Crystal Earrings

Hello humans and lovely kitties.  Are you having a nice weekend?  February is short and quick.  Only 3 days left.  I'm going to sleep, eat, groom myself, pee, poo, nap and nap.  Too many things to do.

Oh, and I have to check this week's project.  Let's have a look.

Elegant Crystal Earrings



This week, my human friend M made gorgeous earrings.

Not so obviously insisting 'cat', but the cat shape connector ring adds the cute taste.

The stone is crystal AB.







Is this to be checked?

I'm checking.

Week 225 - Gold Bow Cat Crescent Bag

Hi people and cats.  How are you today?  It was a big fire on the Port Hill in Christchurch this week.  I hope every cats and animals are safe.  Wet today, no sunshine.  But, I understand we need rain.  Rain or shine, we, cats can get a cozy nap.  No big deal.

Let's check this week's cat craft project, shall we?

Gold Bow Cat Crescent Bag



This week, my human friend M made an unique shape bag.  This bag has a handle at one end and a loop at the other end.  Hold half and made this shape.

M didn't consider the fabric pattern, so the finish of cat pattern is a wee bit odd.

The main fabric is cotton with interfacing.  The lining fabric is padded quilting.

The opening is a zip fastener.

Let's check.

Oh, a gold cat is here.

Week 224 - Heart & Cat Magnets

Hello humans and elegant kitties.  How's your Caturday?

Sorry for skipping update the blog last week.  My human friend M went camping and I had to look after our place.  She decided to go camping on Friday night and left home on Saturday morning.   Came back at Sunday night.   Humans are unpredictable.



This week, M made two cute heart magnets.

Heart and Cat Magnets


M told me that she planed to make a bag at first but changed her mind to make something to do with Valentine's day.

The left photo shows her using materials.






She glued a magnet on the back.










Ready to check.

Checking.


Happy Valentine's Day!

Week 223 - Felted Cat Topiary

Hi humans and lovely kitties.  How are you today?  It is warm and fine summer here in Christchurch.  I enjoyed napping, while my human friend M was doing housework.  She left home for a while and came back with a bag of Fancy Feast and cat biscuits.  She told me that cat foods are on sale in this weekend.  Now I got one month's meal in my pantry.

Well, let's check this week's cat project.

Felted Cat Topiary


M made a cat shape topiary with needle felting.

Using left over felting wool and a recycle tiny plant pot, M made this cute topiary.  The stem is brown wire.  To make it stable, small polished stones are placed in the pot.







I'm checking the pot.

And checking the topiary.

Week 222 - Cat Printed Scarf

Hello every human and kitty.  Are you enjoying your Caturday?  Mine is a little bit busy - supervising my human friend M, checking M's project, blogging, as well as grooming, napping and patrolling room to room.  I've already checked M's project.  Let's have a look together.

Cat Printed Scarf





M made a cute cat print scarf.

The original scarf is plain pale salmon pink.

First, she made a stencil with a plastic sheet.



Then, using fabric paints and the stencil, she drew cat pattern on the scarf.  She used brown, green and purple.

Cats are drawn at random.






I'm ready to check.

Checking the detail.

Week 221 - Kitty Handbag Charms

Hi humans and kitties.  How's your new year going?  I have a new year resolution.  I decided not to work so hard and try to take a nap as much as possible.  I am getting older.  Life is short.  Take it easy and enjoy, everyone.

This week, my human friend M made two bag charms.  Let's have a look.

Kitty Handbag Charms



She made silver tabby and tortoiseshell cat with needle felting.

They are very chubby, aren't they?

Then she attached a knitting ball and wooden fish bead.

There is a pipe cleaner inside the tail to shape.



I am checking.

Did you take a good picture?

Week 220 - Two Cat Rings

Happy Meow Year, everyone.

My year has started very quietly, while my human friend M went to Akaroa and Banks Peninsula on New Years day.  She seemed to go to a beach or desert as she came back with her stuff covered with sand.  She said that she went to a beach.

The first cat craft project in this year is two cat rings.  Let's have a look, shall we?

Two Cat Rings



M made the rings using polymer clay and fake suede cord.

She kneaded some beach sand into clay to make stone effect.

After baking them to be harden, she attached suede cord.






I'm checking.
