Ricky Is Crafty!

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:


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 is from The Muppet Show - he and Waldorf are very cranky old (Muppet) men who sit in the balcony and make pithy comments. They're really quite entertaining sometimes. They like to heckle Fozzie Bear because they're friends with his mama, Emily Bear.

There's more info here if you'd like.

(yes, I know too much about the Muppets....I blame being from the state that gave us Jim Henson)
