Yes, I am still here making Waldorf dolls!

Just in case you wondered. I know it's been another long spell of not posting on my blog. What can I say in my defense? I love my new job. It does take a lot of energy to create a curriculum for teaching German. I have been writing and re-writing lesson plans, searching for materials, running to conferences and and and...

I am loving it all, and I am happy as a clam. I wish I had more time to think, process, and write about it. Some day. Maybe when the kids are off to college. But hey, it is almost spring break here.

The dolls have not been neglected either. When I am taking a break from teaching and grading I do sit down and make a tiny sweet Waldorf baby doll now and then. This will always be my other happy place. Just look at them at their little school desks! They are so excited about their German lessons. LOL

It's not too late!

I am still working on a few Easter items. I hope the Post Office plays nice and delivers all Priority shipments as promised in 2-3 business days. The babies are still hatching from different colored eggs. Today I little heartshaped one emerged from this lovely blue egg.

If not for Easter it can still be a nice surprise any other old day. Who doesn't love a surprise?

I finally managed to create a couple of leafbuddies again. It's been a while since I made one of those cuties. But then a custom order came as a reminder to keep them stocked. They do make a lovely spring birthday gift.

Dollhouse People

It's been a long time since I made a dollhouse doll, that is, except for my miniature pocketdolls, who can also live in a dollhouse. I am talking about 5-6 inch dolls. I am not sure why but whenever work on that particular size my hands start hurting. Something about the way my fingers bend when I sew on the heads and limbs. Today the thumb on my right hand hurts.

But small dolls are perfect for using up small scraps of fabric. Since I am almost out of skinfabric and my new order will take a while to get in I am using up the little odds and ends of materials that I have collected in bags. The family is appreciative too. They get tired of coming across bags of scraps in every closet of the house...

This tiny baby was very tired afte being born yesterday - so I put her right to sleep. ;)
