Week 98 - Cat Print Tote Bag

Dear Santa,
Thanks for a wonderful gift.  If you do it again next Christmas, I will scratch and punch you...

This is not what I expect.

Oh, hi everybody.  How was your Christmas?  Did you have a nice gift?  Don't ask me.  Mine was terrible.

Guess what?   That old SantaClaws guy gave me a few fleas in spite of my request.  Therefore, M, my human friend gave me a flea treatment drop this year.  Life is cruel, isn't it?

I am disappointed in this year's Christmas but the life still goes on.  Let's start to check this week's project.


This week, M made a tote bag with cat print canvas which she bought a couple weeks ago.

The handles are nylon webbing belt.  The bag size is about 33 x 31 x 5 cm.

M attached tricolour ribbon as a tag.  It becomes an accent on this monotone bag.

There is a small pocket on the other side.

The liner is polka dot cotton fabric and a magnet fastener on it.
There is an inner pocket as well.

I am checking the shape.

Week 97 - Cat Macaroon Bracelet

Dear Santa,
I have been a wonderful cat and worked hard.  Please give me a piece of fresh tuna, Fancy feast for one year, boneless chicken roast, salmon fillets, Temptations chicken flavour...etc.

Oh, hi.  I was writing to Santa.  I don't know his address but I hope he reads this blog and brings some of my requests.  Okay, I will start to work for this week's project.

This week, M made miniature fake sweets using polymer clay.  This polymer clay is harden by air-dry, not by usual oven-baked.  It is much easier to shape and smooth texture is excellent to miniature details.  M made colourful macaroons.

Cat Macaroon Bracelet

Each macaroon is about 2 cm diameter, sandwiched clay cream as real macaroon.




M also made a Pavlova and a gingerbread cat for charms.  Pavlova is approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch).


Pavlova is a Kiwi icon and Kiwi people eat it in any special occasions - of course, in Christmas as well.

I checked Macaroons.

Merry Meowy Christmas !

Week 96 - Puss in Xmas stocking

Hello humans and kitties.  It is about ten days to Christmas and people seems to be very busy to prepare the festive season.  We, cats are amazed to watch humans in such a hustle.  My human friend M is not preparing for Christmas, but she seems busy to prepare the project for this blog.

This week's project is also for the Christmas.  M made Christmas decorations with needle felting.

M made a kitten with needle felting and sewed tiny Christmas sock for it.







She also made a ball decoration with needle felting.

The ball is about 4 cm diameter.  

I'm checking the kitten.

Week 95 - Puss Pomander

Hello humans and cats.  How's your first weekend in December?  It is very warm in Christchurch.  People in Northern Hemisphere hardly understand summer in December.  So as M.  She doesn't seem to get used to Christmas in summer forever.  I don't mind summer or winter as long as I can have a good meal.  I enjoy munching salads this morning, although I am not a vegetarian.



Previously, M started Christmas project and made a cat shape wreath.  This week, she tried to make a traditional Christmas project - pomander ball.
This is a cat craft blog.  How does she arrange the pomander ball to a cat craft.  Let's have a look.

Puss Pomander

Orange and Cloves

All you need for this project is :
Orange, cloves, wire, ribbon, beads and tools ( skewer, scissors and wire cutter)

Started with the face, "M" pattern on the forehead, then tabby stripe on back and finished with the whiskers.  






Personally, I don't like citrus smell but as a professional quality controller, I checked it anyway.
