Post Subject: Holiday Gift Guide for Parents- independent designers
Hi- I am a writer for Blogging Baby, and I am doing a feature on gifts for kids/parents that were made by independent designers/artists/craftspeople. I'm not as crafty as I wish I was, but I thought I'd spread the word about this scene as much as possible because I really respect it. Blogging Baby gets 30,000 hits a day and I'm hoping to help some good people make some money.
I have published a draft of this Shopping Guide on my blog: Sweet Juniper (guide is here).
I would REALLY love anyone's input about other crafty folk who sell their baby/kid/parent related wares online via their own websites, or through etsy if they also have their own websites or blogs with good pictures. I am not trying to be exclusive, but I've exhausted what I could come up with without mor ehelp from the experts!

Thank you ladies, now I've got some directions... I was thinking of making my own beads (from that dough you can buy from the craft shops in all colors and that goes hard when it's kept in low warmed oven for like an hour or so). An then just using them, sturdy string and some thrift store findings (horsey beads, glow in the dark -beads, maybe some barbie shoes! etc)... So it would be simple, not adjustable. Oh well, I can always do long necklaces it this is a problem... I thought bracelets would fit the tiny pinatas bettet. BUT the necklaces might be even better. Hmm. I have to ponder on this ^-^
I'm thinking of making cool crafty (small cheap-o) gifts for kids. I have always been making "kids' gift" when I could introduce them to something really cool if I wasn't thinking like a regular adult "the kids won't understand". Stu-pid.
