An update long overdue. I have received the pins! They are smol and adorable. The glow is so bright. I absolutely love the black nickel finish this time instead of the dyed black I got last time. Very happy with how they came out.
I did plan on a photo shoot but adhd is hitting hard with a lot going on in life. I figured this one photo and an actual update is better than nothing. Really hoping to get you all some good photos soon though.
If your order does not include Jack bags, sherbert inserts, or worm slap bracelets then let me know if you want to finalize payment. I can start shipping your orders later this week if you want. Otherwise it’ll just get taken care of when bags get in.

Manufacturers are still on holiday so no bag updates right now. I’m honestly a bit worried about if I’ll have a huge tariff bill when they get here. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Lastly, there’s an event on backerkit called pintopia. While I did step back because I wasn’t able to handle another project yet, two amazing artists I’d love to shout out are on it. Cosmic Macchiato and Crossed Teacups have collabed with circus themed designs that are just wonderfully done. Plus if you back both campaigns you’ll get TWO free enamel pins. It’s a really great deal and you’ll be supporting two of the sweetest artists I know. I’m going to put those links below.

Thank you all so much for your patience. I hope everyone’s staying hydrated.

Look at the little babyyyyy! Pumpkins are so small that I had to make a itty bitty logo for them. They have a long way to go, but I love getting to update you with photos. 
61% of surveys are answered. It’s not charging for shipping till I lock it all in and that’s not till March. If you need me to lock yours in sooner, just message! I know what it’s like to forget a charge is coming so you want it charged immediately. 

Happy Tuesday. I hope you had a great first two weeks of 2025

Today I sent the smoke test which sends surveys to 5% of the backers! If you got one, please respond and click the boxes so we know the survey works. As long as that all goes well, I’ll be able to send the rest of surveys tomorrow 🥳 

Production has started for both bags and mini pins. Once surveys are back I can figure out how many perler pins and jack plush keychains we need. 

If you have any questions just let me know! 🫶🏻🫶🏻Hope you’re all having a great 2025 so far 

Happy Saturday! I hope you’re all having a marvelous week.

Currently waiting on backerkit to review our surveys before we can send them out. There’s 3 people still pending charges. I believe on the 31st it will try to charge your cards again, so you have a couple days to get those fixed before surveys go out. 

I’m also going to be ordering some really nice sticker material. If you’ve ever bought stickers from Cosmic Macchiato, then you know how great the quality is. 

Hopefully we’ll have production started by next weekend! 

Well well well if it isn’t me overworking myself for no reason. Turns out we’re supposed to wait 14 days after campaign ends to send surveys! A misunderstanding on my part. The wait gives everyone a chance to fix their initial payment if it failed. 

Luckily this gives me time to figure out international shipping costs! Bag numbers and pin numbers are good. Sherbert inserts are at 21 backed so I’ll go a bit over to account for extras and defects. When surveys do get sent you’ll have a chance to add on different pins and also fuzzy worm slap bracelets handmade by EvilWeasel24. 

Gonna take a break for a couple days. Wedding anniversary tomorrow and then holidays with family. I hope all of you have such a lovely week. Get some rest and remember to hydrate.
