Christmas Week

Merry Meowy Christmas!

This week, we are off from the cat craft project and enjoying a calm Christmas.  I've already had a nap, Funky Feast(aka Fancy Feast) and ready to another nap.

Hope everyone have a warm and happy meowy Christmas.

Hairy Yours,

Daisy the cat

Week 219 - Holly Kitty Collar

Hi humans and kitties.  Are you ready for Christmas?  I am of course ready for festive meal.

This week, my human friend M made a special collar for me.

Holly Kitty Collar

She made a holly with felt and beads to decorate a collar.

It is with a brooch pin so that it is detachable.

When a festive season ends, I can use it as a normal polka dot collar.  Clever idea.

I tried it on.

Yawn.

Week 218 - Festive Cat Straps

Hi people and cute cats.  Are you enjoying your weekend?  Every year in this season, people seem to be busy to hunt gifts for someone special.  My human friend M asked me what I want for this Christmas.  Honestly I don't know.  So I didn't answer.  Then, M said that I may need a pair of tweezers.  She's so mean.

Anyway, this week's project.  M made a tiny and cute Christmas theme straps.

Festive Cat Straps

These are very tiny.  About 4 x 2 cm.  Made with acrylic wool.  They can be an ornament to decorate a Christmas tree.

Without ears and whiskers, it is like a snowman.

I checked from the wrong direction.

This is the right angle.

Week 217 - Xmas Cat Brooch

Hi humans and incredible kitties.  It's the first weekend of December and wonderful weather here in Christchurch - beautiful blue sky and warm sunshine.  Nothing special happens but all is good.

From this week, M, my human friend and I decided to do a project related to Christmas.  And it is of course, a cat project.  Let's have a look.

Xmas Cat Brooch

This week, M made a super cute cat brooch with needle felting.

The cone cap is made with red felt fabric.  M attached white pompom and brim with needle felting on it.

Am I a model of this?

Oh, she is cute.

Week 216 - Yoga Cat T-shirt

Hi humans and gorgeous kitties.  How is your Caturday going?  Do you exercise something for your health?  My human friend M sometimes goes Tai-Chi lesson.  I don't do Tai-Chi, but I can say I am a natural yogi.  M also does yoga as a very beginner and she complains about my yoga pose - lick your bottom pose.  What?  Isn't it a yoga pose?

This week, M made something related yoga.  Let's have a look.

Yoga Cat T-shirt

M made an original T-shirt using pastel dye sticks.  Yes, this is a cat pose, not dog.  Sorry, but dogs are clumsy.  I don't understand why people call this pose 'dog pose'.  We, M and I, insist this is 'Downward CAT Pose'.

M told me that these pastel dye sticks are not easy to use on stretchy fabric.  It is hard to draw the clean edge.  She managed to draw and paint somehow.

She roughly drew design on the paper first, then transfer the design on the T-shirt.

With a hot ironing, the colours are set as permanent and washable.

I'm checking.

And resting.

Week 215 - Bow Tie Collar

Hello everybody.  How are you today?  There was a big earthquake last Monday in New Zealand.  In Christchurch, no damage, but some areas are still struggling to get back a normal life.  Hope all humans, cats and other animals are safe and back normal soon.

This week, my human friend M made a stylish collar for me.

Bow Tie Collar

 She made a collar for me many times in the past, but she hasn't made this basic bow tie collar.  Of course she used a safety buckle and it's adjustable length.

I tried it on.

It's rose print, not daisy!

Week 214 - Felt Cat in Cup Key Holder

Hello people and kitties.  How is your weekend going?  A news about US election result seems to surprise most people around the world.  I am also surprised that a cat candidate couldn't win the election.  Maybe someday a smart cat becomes a president.  Just between you and me, we, cats are trying hard to conquer Internet world. YouTube and other SNS have already got a good result.

Anyway, let's check this week's project.

Felt Cat in Cup Key Holder

This week, my human friend M made a cute and tiny felt cat.

She glued it in a tiny cap charm and attached a key chain.

Let's check.

It's smaller than my paw.

Week 213 - Black Cat Wrist Pillow

Hi humans and luxurious kitties.  How are you today?  Today is Guy Fawkes Day and I am concerned about fireworks noise tonight.  I hate Guy Fawkes Day.  I really hate it.  It's just for crazy people.  My human friend M has already bought earplugs.  Unfortunately, earplugs for cats are not invented yet.  Shame.

This week, M made a tiny pillow for wrist.  Let's have a look.

Black Cat Wrist Pillow

M used an unwanted beanie.  She cut it cat face shape and sew it.  It will comfort you when you use a computer mouse or typing long time.

At first I thought it is unfinished cat doll missed Halloween.

I attached first.

Then, I checked.

Week 212 - Nap Time Photo Cushion

Hello humans and cheerful kitties.  What are you up to?  It is wet and a little bit chilly here in Christchurch.  I couldn't get out of my bed in the morning.  My human friend M came to check if I am alive or not.  It is Caturday.  The day for chilling out.

M took my napping pictures and made something with it.  Let's have a look.

Nap Time Photo Cushion

She made a cushion with my photo.  It is a smaller than real myself, but I am impressed.  She printed my photo onto fabric.

On the back, she made a stitch.  Letter 'i' is decorated by a Rhinestone.

The left is real me.

Week 211 - Cat Embroidery in Mini Hoop

Hello people and elegant cats.  It is clear blue sky and gorgeous spring here in Christchurch.  I am enjoying this wonderful sunshine with napping.  My human friend M seems to enjoy this weather as well.  She has already done three loads of washing with a brand new washing machine.  While the washing machine was doing its work, M made this week's project.

Let's have a look.

Cat Embroidery in Mini Hoop

She embroidered a cat on cotton fabric.  The hoop is about 6 cm diameter.  It could be a tiny wall decoration.

Let's start.

I am checking.

Week 210 - Cute Cat Cuffs Buttons

Hi people and kitties.  How are you today?  It is beautiful spring weather here in Christchurch.

The Kowhai tree in front of windows put yellow flowers.  The cacti which my human M friend bought last week has a pretty tiny flower.  Everything seems to be lively in this season.



This week, M made cute cat cuffs buttons using UV resin.

Cute Cat Cuffs Buttons

M found cute cat illustrations in a magazine and decided to use them.  Fortunately the weather is purrfect to use UV resin.

She cut out the illustration paper and glued them to cuffs setting, then put few drops of UV resin on the paper and attached a glass dorm.

Put them in sunshine until the resin becomes harden.

I am checking the smell.

Week 209 - Fluffy Cat Cacti

Hi humans and beautiful kitties.  How are you spending your weekend?  My human friend M always tells me that weekends are for relaxing.  It is pity that she doesn't seem to know how to relax.  For me, everyday is for relaxing.  I can say cats are the master of relaxing.  Don't you think so?

This week M made a bizarre cacti again.

Fluffy Cat Cacti

She made a tiny cat shape cacti.  The above photo right is real cacti.  It shapes just like a paw.  It would be possible that cat shape real cactus available somewhere.

She made a prickly cat cacti in the end of August.  At that time the prickles are made by nylon cord.  This time they are cotton lace yarn.  The body is polymer clay.

Cat Cactus and Real Cactus

I am checking the prickles.

Week 208 - Flower Embossed Cat Accessories

Hello cats and human staff.  It's October.  In New Zealand it has already started day light saving time.  Daytime seems to be longer for humans.  For cats, not much deference as we sleep whether bright or dark.

This week my human friend, M made cute accessories using polymer clay.

Flower Embossed Cat Accessories

First, M mixed red, blue and white polymer clay to make pale purple.  She then rolled and pressed flower stamp on it.

Then cut it out as a cat shape with hole for T pin.

Bake the cat shape clay in an oven to be harden.

Once it becomes cool, she paint the embossed part and the side with gold colour.



Waiting until the paint dry, then attached the split ring, chain and earring parts.

Let me check this.

Cannot eat.

Week 207 - Birman Kitten Out of Pocket Brooch

Hello people and kitties.  Are you enjoying your weekend?  It is cloudy here in Christchurch.  No sunshine, unfortunately.  I was a little bit bored, so I stalked my human friend M.  She seemed to be annoyed.  Anyway, she made a tiny cat face with needle felting.  Let's have a look.

Birman Kitten Out of Pocket Brooch

She made this gorgeous pedigree kitten this time.  It can be said, Birman, Ragdoll, or even Siamese kitten.

I'm checking.

Which kitten will be next?
