Week 76 - Cute Cat Burglar Key Holder

Hi everyone.  It is time for this week's cat craft.  Today, M made a felting cat key holder.  She hasn't touched felting stuff for a while.  And she hasn't made a key holder in 75 projects yet.  Here is this week's project.

Week 75 - White Cat Headband

Hi everybody.  I hope you are having a good weekend.  It is chilly in New Zealand.  I have to keep myself warm with being curled up on M's lap.  She seems to be annoyed, but I don't mind.

This week, M made a cute headband.  A white cat with a red ribbon reminds me of a Japanese famous cat, Hello Kitty.  I don't know whether M is interested in a costume play or not...  What?  No?  She said "No".  She said she is not interested in a costume play, but enjoyed to make this.
White Cat Headband
She used mainly white fake fur and black elastic.  A red ribbon is made with felt fabric.  You can make it within a couple of hour.
I am checking the quality.

Week 74 - Cat stamped Drawstring Bag

Hello.  I am Daisy, the cat featuring cat crafts every week.  How is your weekend going?  My human friend M was sewing something using a sewing machine while I was taking a nap.  It was noisy, but I didn't mind.  Actually, I like the sound of sewing machine.  Far better than vacuum cleaner.

This week, M made a drawstring bag.  It must be useful especially when you travel.  However, M doesn't have any plan to travel at this stage.

Week 73 - Animal Friendly Tiger Rug

Hi every humans and kitties.  How are you enjoying your weekend?  I curled up in the sunshine this afternoon.  It was warm and calm.  I cannot believe that the last night's gale was so strong.  I was so scared that I almost forgot to have a snack at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Anyway, this week's project is...Tiger Rug.  Of course it is fake.  That's why "animal friendly".  M bought tiger fake fur last week and used it for this project.
Animal Friendly Tiger Rug
It can be used a throw as well as a rug.   The head is detachable by Velcro.

My tabby pattern is more gorgeous, isn't it?

Week 72 - Cat-hydrangea Brooches

Hi everybody.  How is your weekend going?  We got have lots of rain this month.  I heard the some parts of the country was in flood.  Poor things.  Today was sunny but chilly.  Of course I enjoyed sunshine as well as a heater.

This week, M made polymer clay brooches. Those are just like a hydrangea.  Well, not a hydrangea but a group of cats shape a hydrangea. M was inspired by a Nyagasaki Neko's illustration.

M made black and white cat-hydrangeas.  Each part is very tiny.  It requires patient work.

Week 71 - Purrfect Book Cover

Hello everyone!  How are you this weekend?  It has been miserable weather in New Zealand by the polar blast this week.  Continuous rain, windy and cold.  I groom myself in front of a heater.  The heater is attractively warm, but still I miss sunshine.  Yesterday was the longest night of the year.  Well, try to think it positively, from now on, the daytime is getting longer.  It is wonderful, isn't it?

This week, M made a book cover to keep her tiny Japanese book cozy.
Purrfect Book Cover
 This book cover is mainly made of a scrap of linen, cotton, ribbon and a suede cord.  M decorated it with a polymer clay cat button which she made before and wood and glass beads.

You may think the cover is wrong side up, however, the Japanese book is normally written from up to down, started right to left, so M didn't mistake.

Is this the right side up?

Week 70 - Snow Leopard Beanie

Hello everybody.  Welcome to Everyweek Cat Craft Project, presented by me, Daisy.  This is the seventieth week's project that I will feature today, "The Snow Leopard Beanie".  Yeah!

Snow Leopard Beanie
Do not say, "it's out of season".  We are in New Zealand and it is winter...cold, wet, and miserable.  I miss warm sunshine.  As it is no point of grumbling about weather, I keep myself warm with being curled up on M's lap.  M made this beanie to keep herself warm.







This beanie consists of three parts, a white fur beanie, leopard fur brim, and white fleece liner.   It is thick and warm.  It is solid enough to shape well.  M did not use the interfacing.








M made a couple of hats for this blog in the past.  And the last time Soy, the door stopper cat become a model.  This time as well.
Hello again, I am a model for the beanie.
I am checking the quality.
