Circus Sweeties - Life Update (TW: Death) (I will keep this separate from plushie stuff)
Hey Cookie Crew~
I apologize for delays and my absence. If you aren't apart of the Discord, I highly recommend joining if you can.

I am so excited about her and I want her to have the perfect name, but I also want everyone to be happy with it too, and the poll is so divided and I've been thinking of even more names hahah fhfhfhf
I was thinking Seasi (Like Cici) Starpop the Sea Serpent which is really weird, probably. Or just Sea Starpop the Sea Serpent.
I really backed us into a corner with the alliterations.
I may do another poll with the two top winning names and just... see how some of you would vote again with only two options.
I don't knowwww.
Did any of you have plans to rename your nessie?? What are they!?
I will be back shortly with an official update soon, too!! We have unlocked so much, and I have to share it with you guys.
Thank you again for being here, helping me make this dreamy idea flourish. Even if we're a little stuck on Nessie right now. hehfhfahfjg
So, fulfillment isn't as far along as I had hoped by the beginning of May, which means that I'm pushing the launch date for Series 2 back ONE more time. It will now be May 15th. I'm going to launch on this day no matter what. I've been in communication with the fulfillment center and they've assured me that they will start clearing out pending orders this week, and that means the pace will be picking up.
I expect that we'll be at about 50% minimally by the time Series 2 launches, and at least 95% fulfilled by the time Series 2 ends.
There have been a lot of bumps in the road for Series 1. Bumps I definitely don't plan to repeat for Series 2 where I can help it. Obviously, crowdfunding is a little unpredictable. Manufacturing comes with delays, but we have most of our cookies already prototyped and approved and I do truly believe that will help us have a quicker turnaround for Series 2!
I really appreciate all of the patience and understanding everyone has offered me. I'm so happy to see the photos and read the feedback from those who have received their items so far. I can't wait for everyone to get their items. If I could manifest these things on peoples doorsteps, I certainly would.
If you have any questions or concerns, I'll be answering them here. Or you can email me at:
On another note, I'd like to say that Zoey absolutely does fit in Build-A-Bear shoes and roller-skates, and she looks really cute. She gives me life in these trying times fhfhf.
I received my order today and my Bella has white fur coming up through her dark blue embroidered eye where the other eye doesn’t have this issue at all and nor does my Nessi. Who do we contact for QC issues to be resolved?
Quick update! We have started to send out plushies, but at the moment it is plushie ONLY orders. There were some delays with some of the merchandise, such as the freebie stickers. They should be there soon, and as soon as they are packages with additional items will start going out!
I really apologize for this. Next campaign I will improve my timing, and order keychains/stickers/etc. even sooner than I did this time to ensure they arrive before at least at the same time as the stuffies!
I really appreciate everyone's patience and support through all of this. I really cannot wait for EVERYONE to get their cookies. Nothing makes me happier than to see the amazing reactions of those who have received their order.
In other news, I have arrived every prototype that I have had made for Series 2 so far! They are so cute and I really couldn't be happier. I cannot wait to launch Series 2! The date is still a little up in the air, due to fulfillment being a bit rocky, but make sure you've subscribed for notifications so you don't miss out on launch day!
Here is a photo featuring all our prototypes so far! We have:
Suki Shortcake the Spider Stella Strudel the Sealion Marla Meringue the Monkey Zoey Zebracake the Zebra Elliot Eclair the Elephant
We also have quite a few characters that will still be in the works. I think I shared Toulouse and Mimi last time, but just in case!
But I've also finished working on a tribute grandma plushie that I've been wanting to make since my grandma passed away. I've decided that she would be Dotty's grandma, because who needs a grandma more than our local crybaby?
Her name is Jeanie Jam, and she will be every bit as floppy and huggable as our beloved Dotty! I'm very excited to see all these characters in their plush form, and to share them with all of you, too!!
Thank you for all of the support, seriously.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to leave them below or email me at [email protected] and I will do the best I can to help!
