Status report for your general amusement ... this may be a lot funnier to those familiar with Steiner/Waldorf education.

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

Evidence:
Two pale yellow flannel dolls which basically resemble rectangular cushions with heads and vaguely defined waists.

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...

Statler and Waldorf are the two Muppets who sit up in the box to the right side of the stage and make snarky comments about everything.

Statler and Waldorf were also the names of two very posh hotels in New York City in the early to mid 1900s. since "posh" eventually ends up "stodgy", that's why the two old codgers got named after the hotels.
