Project Update: Manufacturing has started!!
Hey guys!! I want to start off by thank you all so much for your patience. For many months now, I have been battling a lot with my health and a few weeks ago I came back from Brazil (I actually wanted to finish treatment there!) and was able dive back into my projects.
I'm happy to announce that manufacturing of the pins have started a few days ago and it shouldn't take much longer than 2 months for everything to be shipped out, since the bulk order is actually not that big! And working with a fast fulfillment center, shipping only takes approx. 2 weeks :) I'm going to do my very best when it comes to quality control but my manufacturer really is amazing, they make such high quality hard enamel pins!
The plushies will also be pretty fast, I am just doing some minor adjustements in the final design (such as making the stick of the popsicle "harder" so that people can hold it by the stick)! And then we're good to go. I was able to negotiate a little more in their pricing, I'll order some more than I intended so that the price per unit is not as expensive and I can put the rest in my Etsy shop!
I will soon share more and things will move faster now, I promise! Despite having such a difficult year, I really am still really excited to see the frozen kitties come to life :D And I can't wait for you to have them.
I must of course apologize for the lack of updates in the past 2 months. As you know, I had been dealing with persistent infections that didn’t respond well to regular antibiotics, and despite my best efforts to keep going through freelancing and running my projects at the time, my condition worsened to the point that I developed anemia from months of ongoing exhaustion from the situation.
After getting IV antibiotics and iron infusions to address both the infections and my anemia (along with careful monitoring for potential long-term complications) I finally got to a place where my body felt like my body again and I could go back where I left my artistic projects.
