Dreaming up Rainbow Crawlers. Literally...

Little me spent a lot of time at grandma's house. In the good-old 90s Netflix, YouTube etc. didn't exist yet to distract a curious young lady from life. To keep me busy, my grandma taught me everything she knew: sewing, embroidery, knitting, machine sewing, cooking and of course: crochet. I loved it. Even though I had a ton of other creative interests throughout the years, working with yarn always had a special place in my heart.

So how did Rainbow Crawlers actually happen??
Ok, this is a weird story and I promise I didn't make it up! A few years ago I made the first Crawler (even though I didn't know it at the time) for my friend's baby. I wanted something unique. Something nobody else can buy off amazon. As leo as I am, I had to make the pattern myself instead of following somebody else's. Anyway, she loved it!

Ok fine. Now I made more and here you go? No...

After I made that first rattle, that was it. I didn't think anymore. BUT THEN---months and months later, I DREAMED about it. Ok, that was weird. Where the heck did that come from? Whatever. The next night, I dreamed about it AGAIN. This time I actually dreamed about making all kinds of different ones! Ok, it gets even stranger: On the third night, I brainstormed a potential name —Wait, hang on... I work as an Art Director, so this is what I do for a living, ok?— Anyway, I did the typical process (Yes, still in my dream) What's typical baby? Cute, butterflies and RAINBOWS.... What do they do? Pooping, crying, CRAWLING... Okay, okay. I don't remember the exact thought process. All I know is that I woke up with a name in my head and figured I give destiny (or my sneaky subconscious) a chance. So I got RainbowCrawlers.com, that morning, in my PJ's. I was determined to make it work—follow my dream and make Rainbow Crawlers come to life.

    Hey there, I am Lynn! I work in NYC as an Art Director and have an ambitious goal: move to the country and have chickens. Seriously! :) In the meantime, Rainbow Crawlers helps me to stay sane in this moderately insane city.
