I know you will….but encourage the living daylights out of your daughter! Excellent….she has dreams and they need to see lights of day.

Thanks Barry, I have been and will continue to do that. I told her that I was listing this on LJ and her face lit up with a huge smile.

Looks like she will go somewhere in the years ahead. My son was writing computer programs to play a game online when the WWW first started. I told him he didn’t need to have our computer running all night. I thought it would wear it out and they were pretty spendy back then. One of the programmers I knew on one of my jobs told me there were very few people who could write programs to interact with other computers. When I got home that night, I told my son to go ahead and write programs to beat the other computer. When all the IT people were out of work during the dot-com-bust, he had interviewers tell him they didn’t know what to ask him next at interviews. He ask why is that? Because they had never had anyone answer so many of their technical questions before. Needless to say, if he could get an interview, he had a job. You just never know where these kids talents will lead them?? ;-))

this is a great project. Love all the details included.

She is definitely an artist and a designer. It will be exciting to watch her talents develop and to see where it leads her.
I bet she’d love to spend a day with an architect or home designer or … or … or :)

I think the two of you better get started on her new bedroom set. :-)

Thanks Tom, my wife tells me that my daughter spent hours over the details of her project. She doesnt need expensive toys just give her a cardboard box from Amazon and she is in her glory.

My daughter, although much older than yours, is more interested in my work than my son. You have a very creative young lady there. Maybe you’re right. It sure looks like she’s headed in that direction.

Wow all that tallent and she even had time to clean her room and make her bed. My daughter is almost 3 and she loves being in the shop with me. So far she helps spread glue with her finger and we were practicing driving screws with an impact driver and she help sweep up. But she doesn’t clean her room. You are going to have a lot fun with her in the future.

Mike isnt it great to have our children so interested in what we do!

Tom I remember my youngest (who is now 15) when she was 3 I have a picture of her helping me paint my shop walls after I had just sheetrocked them. Since then she still helps out but my 12 year old has taken a real liking to woodworking and brought her own creativity to it.

Hee hee so cool, next tongue drums she’ll have em made before you know it..

-- Wood and Glass they kick (well you know) Have a great day - Dug

She was excited to see the plans for the drums.

Your 12 year old is quite talented too!

Thanks Mytoya. I left home for a few days today and she asked if there was a box she could have so I am excited to see what she makes when I get home.

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

That’s adorable and very creative. I used to make all sorts of crazy things with “junk” and “trash” when I was her age. I’m glad to see she’s got creative juices flowing in her.

Simply wonderful! As you can tell by my nickname, I mostly make ‘little’ things with ‘tiny timber’, so when I saw the link to this in the monthly newsletter, it immediately caught my eye! Here’s a couple of links your daughter (and maybe even you) might enjoy. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a whole other world out there, in 1/12 scale that is.

Watch out, she will want a flat screen TV instead of the one she has in the diorama. When I was a kid I used to make castles from all the cardboard boxes dad would bring me home. I still remember the cuts I would get from the packing knife when I wasnt careful.
Now I am a parent I am horrified mum and dad let me use it. Mind you my boy is not even two yet.
Great stuff, and glad to see another proud parent out there. Wish there were more.

Thanks Doug, you are right about the flat screen, both of my girls want them!

Sabrina (my daughter that made the project is very artsy. She is into acting, drawing, singing, etc. so this was a natural for her. She just made a picture frame for her mother for her birthday and she is looking forward to the next project.

But no knives for the 2 year old :)

Doesn’t the world look great though the eyes of the young! Your pride is a lifelong gift to her!
