Waldorf Dolls

I have become obsessed with Waldorf Dolls. I am in the process of making one based on instructions I've found online. The kiddos and I are making a trek to the book store today, and I will be looking for books on doll making. I suppose I should check the library, but I have a book addiction, and if it's a good book, I seem to need to own it...

So. Any tips on making Waldorf Dolls? I'm thinking of making 'cousin' dolls for L and her cuz (well, my cuz's daughter, who is one month older than L) that look like each other. I think that would be fun, but I'm not spending $100 on each doll to buy them... of course, I should shut my trap considering how much I spent on each kid last year on their birthdays in American Girl dolls. Sigh.

I've also ordered some books on the whole Waldorf education 'system'. L is home with me while I work, and C goes to public school. I'd like to suppliment C's education with some of the more creative methods, and start L off right. We have no Waldorf schools near us, so homeschool preschool is where it's at... If I could afford to quit my job, I'd pull C from that school and homeschool her, too. They piss me off SO much (the public school). We're in "lock down" right now - no parents allowed unless they have a prearranged appointment. If your kid forgets anything - too bad. BUT, homeroom parents are allowed. Hmm. At C's P/T conference tomorrow, I'm going to ask if the homeroom parents have had background checks. B has (he's a freakin' cop...) and I have for Girl Scouts. But we're not allowed in... (I know, I know... how they have to set their rules... but it still ticks me off.)

Making orange rolls with the girly girls this morning to take to B at work. The dough is just about ready to roll out and fill, then fold, roll and fill... yes. Scratch rolls. Not from a pop-out can. (I do use those.)

If the doll doesn't suck too badly, I'll post a pic.
