Dreamland Teddy reminding me...

Seems like a lifetime ago that I worked at Crown Craft designing baby bedding for their NoJo brand . It was a job that saved me from several bad life choices and helped to redirect me. But not only did it do those super important things, it helped me to see that I have decent design chops and each time I get in a spot where I think I'm invisible, or think that I'm not important or am not "good enough" I go check the status of the design I did at Crown Craft. The baby bedding set I designed for NoJo's Little Bedding brand is called Dreamland Teddy and since it took off and did so well, they've since made a pink version to compliment the neutral one I created while I was there. Surely they'll eventually phase it out - it's been selling for nearly eight years on walmart.com. On days like today, I go read the reviews of young mothers saying how much they love the cute design and I thank God that He gave me the ability and the opportunity to bless...

Dreamland Teddy - still going strong

Can't believe that Walmart.com is still selling the infant bedding set I designed while at Crown Craft/NoJo . I was there for only a few months and they granted the the great honor to of allowing me to take this project and run with it. They even let me name it - Dreamland Teddy. It's done well enough that they have since made a pink version and I couldn't be happier about that. I've seen some of the reviews online and have to say that they're encouraging. When I'm feeling like what I design or draw isn't good enough or that what I'm doing looks juvenile or when I have any kind of negative thought about what I'm doing, I consider what a great success Dreamland Teddy continues to be even 5 years after I designed it and how uncertain I was about it even then. It's surprising how emotions so often prove to be unfounded in truth. Here're my mechanicals:
