Number of Steiner-type flannel dolls finished to give to friends with newborns: 2
Evidence:

For the record, this has been my main "carry around when I go out and sew while waiting" project for the last little while. This is relevant to the following statistics.
Number of people who have spotted me sewing these and asked if I was a Steiner kid: 1
Number of people who have not recognised the nearly finished dolls as dolls and asked what my "cushion" was for: 1
Number of people who have asked when I was adding the "face" or exclaimed sadly over the lack of defined features: 7
Fun had while explaining why my cushion was a doll, or why my doll had no facial features: PRICELESS!
I am tempted to start making felt gnomes now, just for my own amusement as people react to them...
