Week 125 - Sleeve Extensions

Hello humans and gorgeous kitties.  It is so cold these days that I hardly get up early in the morning.  Good news is only 5 weeks to go to be Spring.  I cannot wait snoozing on the warm windowsill with floral winds.  Anyway, I have a work every week to check my human friend M's crafting work.

This week M made sleeve extensions.  Let's have a look, shall we?

Sleeve Extensions

When you feel a little bit cold, but not so chilly to put gloves on, they are handy to use.  M recycled T-shirts sleeves.

She made covered buttons with the same fabric.

These extensions can be used either way.  Cat tape can come as cuffs.  M tried to put on the other way.

I am checking the covered button.

Week 124 - Lacy Cat Barrette

Hi people and wonderful cats.  How are you today?  It is very chilly here in Christchurch, NZ.  I tried to snuggle up on M's lap, but she didn't sit still.  I was annoyed.  M seemed to be also annoyed byme curling up on her as soon as she took a seat.

This week, M was doing something with a shrink plastic sheet.  She couldn't get a satisfied result and changed her project to much easier one.  Let's have a look.

Lacy Cat Barrette

She has a plain barrette.  It can be okay to use, but a little bit boring.  So she decided to change it as a cat barrette.

She sew a cat charm on a lacy motif and glued it on the barrette.  Also glued some rhinestones to decorate.

I'm checking from the low angle.

Week 123 - Cat Panel Wine Bag

Hi cat lovers, craft fans, and lovely cats.  It is damp and chilly these days in Christchurch, NZ.  How about your country?  I have several favourite places to take a nap.  And the place I choose when it is cold is on M's lap.  Humans are natural heater.  I am eco-friendly.  Go green.

This week, my human friend M made a bag for carrying a bottle of wine.

Cat Panel Wine Bag

She chose the calico fabric for the body, and sewed cat print cotton as a panel.







I heard that there is wine for cats available in Japan.  It contains no alcohol.  Those who want to drink with their cat buy it.  However, most cats don't drink it.  Nice try, human.

I'm checking the stitches.

See you next week!

Week 122 - Nine Lives Mug

Hello cat lovers and cats.  It's July and very chilly here in New Zealand.  How's your country?  Hot?  People seem to be excited watching World Cup.  I am only excited to watch my bowl is full of food.  Not ball or cup.

This week, my friend M painted a mug, not bowl or cup.

Nine Lives Mug

  She painted kitty ballet on a mug and a plate in January.  Do you remember?  This time she painted nine cats on a mug.  The special paint needs to be oven-baked to stay.  After stayed the colour, it is washable and can be used as a normal mug.

Let's look from the other angle.

 

This couple shape heart by their tails.

This cat has a long and large tail which becomes a handle of the mug.

I'm checking from the top.

Checking from the side.

See you next week.

Week 121 - Gorgeous Kitty Photo Frame

Hello cat people, craft lovers and kitties.  Do you enjoy a cold and damp winter?  Ah, of course, people and cats in northern hemisphere would enjoy a warm or hot summer.  For cats, a longer night means plenty of time to sleep, and a longer day means lots of sunshine to snooze in.  Either way, we can enjoy the life.

This week, my human friend M made a gorgeous photo frame.

Gorgeous Kitty Photo Frame

She had a small plain fabric photo frame.  It was too boring to put a photo and decorate.  She decided to remake it as a cat craft.






She made a tiny cat by flower print fabric and attached on the frame with picot lace, ribbon and a fish charm.

I am checking the fish charm.

See you next week!

Week 120 - Cat Bed Memo Holder

Hello people and cats.  How are you today?  Today is a shortest day in New Zealand and other southern hemisphere countries.  I am going to enjoy weak sunshine at windowsill and then to curl up on cozy spot.  Maybe in my fluffy bed.  Oh, by the way, my human friend M was making a tiny cat bed this week.

Let's have a look, shall we?

Cat Bed Memo Holder

She used cotton, quilted calico and cute jacquard ribbon.  It looks like cozy, but too small for me.

This is for keeping memos.

Also good for mini-me.

Hello again, mini-me.

Week 119 - Fake Stone Cat Nacklaces

Hello cat and craft fans.  In human world, FIFA world cup has started and people seem to be excited to watch.  In kitty world, chasing a ball is only for kitten's entertainment.  Adult cats entertain ourselves in more sophisticated way.  For example, when human feel to get out from the bed to toilet for pee, we go on top of him/her and sit on the stomach, then knead around bladder.  If the person is a real cat person, he/she cannot move.  You can enjoy watching how humans try to get rid of us.  It is really enjoying, but remember the timing is everything.

Oh, I almost forget to show you this week's cat craft.  My human friend M made simple necklaces using polymer clay.

Fake Stone Cat Necklaces

She made pendant heads with polymer clay.  She tried to make them like semi-precious stones - Jade, Turquoise and Rose Quartz.

Right photo : shaped clay before baking

To make them glossy, she varnished UV resin on the surface.

Then attached the fake leather code.

I'm checking the jade one.

See you next week.
