Raising Girl Geeks, Step 1: A Nursery Full of Robots and Spaceships

Katie Swindler is the new mom and crafter who put her daughter’s nursery together in shades of pink, purple and teal… and littered it with outer space imagery and science fiction standbys. Heck, we’d sleep here. Robots and girls in spacesuits below.

Retrofuturism in the baby’s room? Yes, please.

And now, adorable rocket ships,

Adorable (pregnant?) robots,

And adorable hand-made mobiles full of “stars, a purple and pink jupiter, a hot pink rocket ship, a loving robot and a one-eyed, baby alien.”

Swindler’s post on Offbeat Mama contains even more pictures, and lots of links and tips on where to buy, and how to alter or craft pretty much everything in her awesome nursery. We can’t add anything more than that it looks like her daughter has a head start on growing up an awesome geek.

Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
