Wishing you all a very happy and holy Easter from my family to you and yours!

I found this interesting post on low long it takes to make a waldorf doll and what work you put into it. It can be disappointing when people won’t buy your dolls unless they are cheap, they just don’t seem to realise the time it takes and the money you outlay to get the materials in the first place.
