Hi, everyone!

It took me a bit to check and fix the surveys before requesting them to be checked due to doctor appointments and image testing. The good news is they have been checked, and I fixed what needed to be fixed. I have emailed them that I am done, so hopefully they approve it so I can finally send out my smoke test before I send it to everyone.

The Meg situation update. I still haven't heard from her, but she did put her Fiverr account on vacation, and it states she'll be back June 30th.  Hopefully, then I can talk to her and check on the sticker situation, among other things. I'm super worried about her.

On top of that, there's the Chibi Moon poll, please, please take it so I know what I should do, lol.

Hi, everyone!

I'm so sorry for the wait. I did not realize that almost a month had gone by because so much stuff has been happening in my life.

I have finally heard from Meg. She's alive, but there was a good reason she was gone. I won't go into it as it's pretty personal, but she did tell me it'll take her a while to get back into drawing because it's been so long since she last drew.

My mom went for surgery towards the end of last month for what we thought was an ovarian cyst or tumor, but it turned out to be a ruptured appendix that got severely infected, which affected other organs, causing their removal. The surgery lasted 10 hours, which caused her to experience effects from the anesthesia. She has been so confused and hallucinating, which hit me hard with anxiety and depression. It was getting better, but then she started getting worse, but she's gotten better again. She's still a little confused, but now she's back home. All in all, she was in the hospital for 3 weeks.

I was told it could take 4-6 weeks for her to heal physically, but we'll have to wait and see about the mind.

Then tomorrow, I go see my surgeon for a mass in my chest to talk about the next step. I know I'll have surgery, but now I'm worried about how long the surgery will be due to how large this thing is.

So that's what I've been dealing with. Of course, when I noticed how long it's been since the last post, I started to freak out a little. 

Again, I'm so sorry for the delays.

Some news on the pin sizes. All pins will remain their current size, but Artemis, Luna, and Chibi Moon pins will change. I'm going to make them the same size as the other pins since I'm afraid that the cats will be hard to see in the smaller pin size. Chibi Moon will be 2 inches. The reason is that when I made her the same size as the others, her main part looked small in comparison, and I think that's because of the rose bud on top. I could try erasing the bud myself (though it might not be done well in my opinion), but I think it would look weird without it.

I just sent out my smoke tests, so please keep an eye on your emails. I would like to ask the ones that get them to respond as soon as you can, but I understand life can cause delays ^_^

I hope everyone is doing well physically, mentally, and emotionally!

Hi, everyone! I'm so sorry for the late update. Days and weeks have been going so fast for me that I didn't realize how long it has been since the last update.

I'm waiting for samples of Moon and Jupiter to be delivered to me. It should take up to 12 days to get to them. I want to wait to see them in person to check their quality before I do the next ones. The good news is I do have pictures of them.

In other news, I haven't been able to get a hold of Meg since April 30th. I'm getting concerned and hoping she's okay. Meg has never disappeared on me like this, and she usually messages me if she's gonna be too busy to work on stuff or to talk to me for a while. The waiting to hear from her is throwing me off and causing anxiety issues. I just hope she and her family are all okay.

I also never got a sketch of the bouquet sticker, so at this moment, the backers who pledged for 3+ pins won't be getting a free sticker. I am thinking of what to do instead that I'm capable of.

Tomorrow and Monday, I'm going to look over my survey and fix anything that I messed up on or forgot to do. Then I'll send it in for a review on Monday or Tuesday.

Thank you so much for your patience!

Hi everyone!

I know it's been a long time since the ending of Pintopia, and we haven't sent out our surveys yet.

I'm hoping in 2-3 weeks we can send out the surveys, but hoping for sooner. Meg has been helping her family move back to her country, and it's a process.

Meg is working on the sticker, and hopefully, soon, I will have the sketch to show everyone.

Once I have the sticker sketch and place it in the survey, I'll send surveys out.

Also, I'm getting Moon and Jupiter samples made and sent to me. Probably do Venus next.

With the tariffs as they are now, I might need to order the pins in batches. I want to make sure I have enough money to pay the tariff bills for each one. I know I can't do the whole order in one go.

Thank you, everyone!
