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.

Week 162 - Lucky Cat Noren Curtain

Hello cat people and cats.  I hope all you are enjoying relaxing Saturday aka Caturday.  I munched cat grass this morning and took a short nap, then exercised with a catnip ball.  Now I am ready to check this week's project.

Let's have a look, shall we?

Lucky Cat Noren Curtain

This week, my human friend M made a Japanese style door curtain which is called 'Noren'.

She bought this fabric in Japan a few years ago without any plan or idea.

Some of Japanese traditional good luck characters - Maneki Neko (Good luck cat), Fukusuke (Good luck boy), Tai fish (Snapper, associated with celebration ), gold coins and magic hummers - are printed.

She sewed inside out first just like bag sewing, attached tabs on top and stitched from right side.

To finish, she decorated the slit with a velvet ribbon and a good luck cat jingle bell.

Oh, it's too large to check.

Anyway, I checked this.

Week 161 - Kitty Curtain Tie

Hello humans and kitties.  What are you up to?  It is cloudy today here in Christchurch.  Dark and a little bit cold - typical autumn day.  I feel slightly depressed without sunshine.  When I am depressed or frustrated, I use a scratching post.  It is a good stress relief.  I recommend it to you, stressed humans.


Well, this week's project, right?  My human friend M made a curtain tie.  She was going to make a pair of ties.  As she found the cotton tape is not enough to make two ties, she just made one.  Oh dear!  Human!

Kitty Curtain Tie

I joined this project at the stage of choosing the fabric.  Unfortunately, M chose a different fabric which I was not interested in.






The white felt cat part works as a kind of button, to tie with an elastic loop.

I'm checking the cat part.

I still think the flower print would be better.

Week 160 - Happy Easter Meow Card

Hi plain humans and beautiful cats.  How are you enjoying Easter weekend?  My human friend M and I are not doing anything special.  M caught a cold and seemed to be sick this week although she managed to work somehow.  And Easter is a festival for bunnies and chicks, not for cats.

Anyway, M made a cute card for Easter.

Happy Easter Meow Card

Wait a minute.  This is a normal Easter card.  Not a cat craft project, is it?

What?  M told me that I should open it.  Okay, I will open the card.

Oh, it is me?  In bunny costume?

M made an egg part with felt covered with polka dot cotton, decorated by gold ric rac and bakers twine.

Inside, she drew a cat and 'Meow!' first, then glued fabric and cut-out bunny felt.

I checked outside.

And inside.
