I too was suprised by how small a...
Great puppet... has that cute "Zoe/Abby" quality to it... I'd say this one ties with your alien you posted above as one of your best works. Keep it up!

Stop on by and take a peek, tell me what you think...
A little late... but Hancock Fabrics had a Columbus Day sale today... various fleeces were $1 (US) per yard...
