Looking back, I also marvel that my children now subscribe to exactly the same Large Parent Small Child theory that I did as a kid, with the exception that they generalize it to inanimate objects as well e.g. Which is fortunate otherwise, my Chicken sewing pattern, beloved by my children and blog readers everywhere, would have turned out quite differently. I am happy to report that, thanks to years of Biology lessons and appropriate children's literature, I am no longer a devotee of the Large Parent Small Child belief.
My mother eventually surrendered, as I knew she would, and I happily played with my genetically-bizarre chick family. I pooh-poohed her everyone knew, I maintained, that the large version of any animal was the parent and the small, the offspring. Her theory was that chickens were anatomically different and that chicks, no matter how volumetrically superior, could never be parents, and would always remain in their juvenile capacity. My mother, bless her scientifically-precise brain, gently suggested that the parental form of this particular avian species was the "chicken". I constructed, by using the same pompom templates in different sizes (what people in fabric circles refer to as "grading"), gigantic chick parents and a bunch of small children chicks. The chick family was frighteningly improper.
POMPOM ANIMALS CRAFT PLUS
I made a chick family and a rabbit family, plus felt food befitting the needs of their species. When we left for home, she bought more yarn for me so I could continue the happy making on my own. When I was about 8 or 9, Grandma brought me there, sat me down at the tables, made the necessary purchases and we spent that afternoon making a chick and a rabbit. The one I remember most vividly was on making pompom animals - you'd buy their pompom tool kit, yarn, glue and scissors and they'd teach you for free. And, like Michaels, this store offered classes. Sometimes, she would take me to a store called Golden Dragon, which was the Singapore equivalent of Michaels, the craft store we have in the US.
POMPOM ANIMALS CRAFT FULL
Her closets were full of fun craft supplies that I spent many afternoons digging in, just to see what I could find. Fortunately, Grandma also loved crafts of all kinds, some of which were kid-appropriate. I was in elementary school then, and too young to be interested in drafting and tailoring, which was a shame.
