Project Update: Catching up with the progress

Hey Backers Frens,

Happy New Year! We hope you’re all starting 2025 with joy and excitement. We're here for a quick update on the progress and share some thoughts.


Just want to know that we haven't given up on this project (or any other). Since we changed manu, things are moving along, albeit a bit slowly, but everything is on track! Our pins are currently in production, though we’ve hit a few bumps in communication with our new manufacturer. It seems they don’t always grasp our requests on the first go, which has led to some back and forth over artwork proofs and corrections—especially with our more intricate designs. We really miss the seamless communication we had with our previous manufacturer before they encountered their own challenges. 😩

>As we approach the Chinese New Year at the end of the month, we expect things to slow down even more, as all our manufacturers will be on holiday. We noticed, this time of year always tends to make them busier and less responsive starting from early January already, so we appreciate your patience as we go through these added waits.

On a brighter note, sticker production is also progressing, even if it’s at a slower pace. We can’t wait to share more juicy updates with you soon!


Of course, we owe you an apology for not updating in the past two months. We know we’ve been slow to communicate everywhere, and we truly appreciate your patience. As we've mentioned elsewhere, we're not the best at keeping everyone in the loop, especially when there aren’t significant developments to share.



You might recall the personal and health challenges we faced throughout 2024, which unfortunately left us unable to work for quite a while. This caused significant setbacks across the board. Additionally, our previous pins manufacturer, who we had relied on for years, was unable to assist us for months as well -despite having already in hand the production of lots of our collections and projects, forcing us to find a new trusted manufacturer. A process which isn't quick or easy at all, and it’s been a bit of a struggle to restart production out of our own pocket.

We realize not everyone can follow all the updates across our various campaigns and social channels, and we noticed that many miss updates even within the same campaign, so we just wanted to share again these challenges.

 That said, we’re committed to catching up with everything and also improving our communication this year! Being both AuDHD with no help doesn't make it easy, so please be extra patient with us 🥺🙏


On a bittersweet note, with almost all our pets gone, we find ourselves with fewer tasks to juggle. While it’s certainly a tough emotional transition that we still have to overcome, it's surely a relief our workload. We miss them dearly, but we’re hopeful that this change will allow us to focus more on our work and bring you the Delidragons (and other) goodies you loved very soon~

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We’re optimistic for what’s ahead and can’t wait to share more updates soon. Have a lovely day!


Warm regards,  
the Quirkory Team 🐉💖
