Howdy! We are doing well—74% of you have completed the survey! Twelve backers still need to do some shopping 😸and let me know what items you want. If you cannot find the email, just log into Backerkit.com and click on your account then “my pledges and surveys”.
I love adding pictures. Meet my “new” old girl. She is a 1954 Singer 15-91 made in New Jersey. I will clean, polish and rewire her so I can sew with her. The power cord is scary after 71 years. My grandmother taught me how to sew on one of these. She wouldn’t let me use her more modern sewing machine until I knew what I was doing. My aunt took both machines when GM passed away. This beauty will shine again and the case will be restored too. I have wanted one for many years. I purchased her from a lady selling her late mother’s things. I am inspired to make some vintage sewing & cat stuff…
She still sews!

Not looking forward to removing the old tape on the needle plate.
Happy Sunday! Seventy percent of smoke tests are back in. It looks good. I am sending the rest of the surveys out. You have 2 weeks to choose your rewards, but please get it done right away. (So it doesn’t get buried and forgotten behind days of email)
Hello! There are so many details to get right when setting up the survey. It looks like it is ready. I am sending out test surveys to a few folks. Please let me know if you have any problems so I can fix them before sending to everyone. The link to the preorder store is here: https://mythical-pets.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders Please share with anyone you know that might be interested in the project. Thanks for all your support. Have a great weekend! Dacia
I hope you are having a great Independence Day weekend!

I have been much faster at building the survey than previously. They have added some refinements to the system that make it easier, plus I have done it twice before. I am almost finished with it. I have a couple of questions that I have to wait until after the holiday weekend for an answer.
I have not charged anyone's cards yet. I think most other folks that were part of the event have done so. I will just do it after the survey is complete, so you will have only one charge. (until shipping time). I will charge shipping when the pins arrive in order to have the most up to date pricing (and spread the cost over time). It probably will not change much, but you never know. USPS is going up on priority shipping, but that will not affect most orders.
Good morning! We were able to fund 4 pin designs and the mini collaboration pin with enough left to finance the Christmas ornament and several acrylic magnets. The ornament can double as a clip on charm. I order them with a hole and no accessories. I have a collection of the cute clip keychain doodads that I can add if you prefer that over the red hanging ribbon.
For the next 2 weeks I will set up the “survey” questionnaire in between finishing my daughter’s cosplay and getting her ready to go to LA for Anime Expo. It went with her last year. The crowds were huge and it was hot in the convention center. I caught Covid 19 while I was there, so my hot flashes and exhaustion may cloud my impression of LA in July. Here is me and some random fellow patriots on July 4th. I am Betsy Ross…

It will be about 2 weeks from now when I send out the survey. Thanks again for your support! Dacia
