[This was intended to be posted on the 31st but got trapped in my drafts. I had thought I'd been keeping DO updated along with the others, but alas.)
End of the year, I’m keeping it short and sweet for status updates:
FOXWRIGHT APOTHECARY
Working through it! There’s a lot to process and organize and my semester ended mid-December while I immediately followed up with working 2 weeks straight without any sort of break, plus the holidays. Going into 2026 this remains the priority, as it has been.
PRIDE POTIONS
Pins are in hand and have been for a while! Apologies for lack of updates, it’s been a rough couple of months. I haven’t yet pulled them all together to get good photos for y’all because there’s 35 individual designs and the prior campaign has been the priority.
DECADENT ORCHARD
Is… still in limbo while I sort out the prior two, as stated before.

And listen, I am fully aware that I am not great at providing updates. I ask, please, just be patient with me and not hound me on other platforms where I just kill time on my commute for the most part. I’m one person who works full time to support a household of two and have limited time— and spoons— to wrangle comments and process pins to make sure no B or C grades slip through the cracks. I’m well aware that I’ve stretched myself far too thin and bit off more than I can chew, I’m doing my best to get things in order.
From here forward I’m probably going to switch to this format of one update that addresses everything crossposted to all three campaigns instead of individually making separate updates to make it less overwhelming. Otherwise, I’m whittling down my inbox, dealing with some lingering ghosts that haven’t left my possession yet, and all around managing my loose ends.
Have a happy New Year!
Speaking of which, I know there have been some concerns raised about the jump in shipping costs for US backers to $10, which was a difficult decision due to shipping costs dramatically rising, along with other materials and supplies jumping in cost as well. The whole tariff situation has really turned everything upside down and made everything far more difficult than it's ever been.
Thank you so much for the patience, everyone!
I'll be making another update once the smoke test has been sent, along with surveys for everyone. Thank you so much for your patience!

Some other goodies available in the add-ons for surveys will be a selection of etching from my time in the studio at school this past year, and hand-embroidered brooches!
Decadent Orchard has been fully funded— all designs from the campaign will be going into production!
Thank you so much to everyone who supported this project, both returning backers and new ones!

I also just saw the YT video, this is ridiculous and I think that everyone is too nice and polite about the creator and the situation. They are a scammer, using ridiculous excuses for all of their campaigns (yeah, right, sinuses, I had three surgeries and still kept working as a freelancer) and this is unacceptable behaviour. I am equally disappointed in Backerkit and I’ll think twice before backing another of their campaigns.

Hey, weird question, but was there a combo shipping with deep sea mermaids, &, if so, do you have our pledges from them? Like, i understand your stuff is going wild & gets put off, but i just looked through my pledges & was confused about that.

I don't even have an american address at this point, when are we getting refunds? I literally pledged like 150$ and now it's completely unfulfillable because this doesn't even ship outside the continental US anymore according to its own survey. Looking at over a year without even manufacturing updates now.
Engaged with this project 20+ times 🌟
I’m once again asking for a refund. I’m very disappointed in this campaign between the lack of updates and the fact there apparently hasn’t been any sort of progress for a year. That, and I was disappointed in the update to we received a month ago. There was a larger chunk complaining about people asking for updates than there were giving an update for this campaign. I understand that life happens, medical issues happen, and all of that can cause delays, but not letting us know about the delays for 2/3rds of a year and that there’s no progress since the campaign ended a year ago is too much for me. I can be patient with updates, but without that my patience only can go so far.
