Waldorf doll

So I finally got my newest batch of Waldorf inspired dolls listed in my Etsy store. I had so much fun dying yarn for these, and making the them bright and colorful. I finally perfected my pattern and my dress patterns. This venture has been so fun so far.



 I have designed a vintage dress and apron pattern.
 A more modern dress.
 Tried some embroidery.

 I even did some Valentine colors.
 I experimented with ears! I perfected how I want my dolls feet to be after 7 tries.


All of this was so fun. I hand dyed the yarn with food coloring, and with Jacquard acid dyes. Both worked very nicely. Though I think I prefer the food coloring. It is easier.




I also made some custom's in January.

I have had so much fun doing all of this. Each doll is so wonderful to make. I have decided to start working on my patterns a bit more so I can put them in my Etsy store as well. So keep checking back, because I plan on making things a lot more fun around here!

There is so much freedom in how far we can take  an experiment or how long we can work on it. The other day my husband started to explain to our kids why oil doesn't mix with water. So today we experimented with water density. There are different versions of this experiment and this is how we did ours.   Things needed : Oil, water, salt, sugar, food coloring, clear glasses or jars,measuring cup. Here's what we did: Step one: Fill three clear jars half way each with warm water. ( Helps the salt and sugar dissolve)  Pour 1/2 cup of salt in the first jar and stir it to mix. Pour 1/2 cup of sugar in the second jar and stir to mix. Leave the third jar with plain fresh water. (Notice the salt in ours didn't fully dissolve but was still more dense then the others.) Step two: Pour 1/2 a cup of vegetable oil into ea
