The Proof is in the Fabric

When my 11 year old daughter is a teenager in a few years with all those raging emotions and gets really mad at me because I won't let her do ... I dunno ... whatever it is I think is NOT in her best interest ... and she accuses me of not loving her, I will direct her to this post.

Why?

This right here is proof of how much I love her.

I let her use one of my prized Japanese fabric to make an alien for a science project.

Yes.I.did.

Her alien is from Saturn where it's very cold and so he needed to have blue skin.  And of ALL my blue fabrics, this beautiful Lecien print was the ONLY one that would do.  (Can't argue with her good taste.)

Only the deepest bonds of love could ever make me part with a 1/4 yard of this lovely fabric for a ... Saturnling?  Saturnian?  Saturnite?  Whatever.  You know what I mean.

Love you, Sweetheart! :)

A wonderfully expressive alien... what a face! Good going, Mom.

That is the cutest alien I've ever seen. I love how she drew it and then made the 3D object from it. I would have never attempted that as a child! She's your daughter for sure.

Oh, a mother's love..... cute Saturnian though. I'd do the same.

I agree with everyone...she's got your talent for crafting! Good for her! And good for you, too, Mom! ;)

That's the best alien I've ever seen! My favorite part are the (rabbit?) ears. She so deserves an A+++++++ for this. But now told us the truth: your alien would have been pink, right? Please make one and show us, please!!!
