Just wanted to mention that a post I wrote for The Storque‘s Handmade Kids series is up today — I picked a dozen of my favorite handmade gifts for a new mama and baby, which was super fun. In case you’re wondering, the single most useful thing we have for her is a good swaddling blanket, but who can resist a cute hand-screened onesie or a colorful star mobile?

I may not have much time to make my own cool stuff for Pearl or my friends’ babies these days (sigh) but I can definitely pick out some lovely things that other people crafted. Thank you to Vanessa and Christina for the fun assignment!
