Hi all, addresses have been unlocked for everyone, and I will be locking them again this weekend-- rewards are being packaged and are just waiting for addresses to be properly updated to make sure everyone gets their items.
[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.
Apologies for the lack of update for September, the start of my semester and work schedule consumed the month before I even noticed. This is an exciting update for me to make, however, as the first packages are headed out this week! It's been a long, long road to get to this point, and I'm grateful to each and every one of you for sticking with me through it. Addresses have been set to lock in 48 hours, so that means packages will be hitting the mailbox on Friday!
As always, let me know if you have any questions :D
Alrighty, things are moving along, even if it feels like at a snail's pace. All of the pins are looking absolutely gorgeous on the backing cards, and I cannot wait to get them out to you all. I think-- hope-- the quality of what I have created will make up for this extended wait. I've been dedicating my evenings (if I have the energy when I get home from work) and weekends to grading/packing pins to be sent out. The goal is to get the first few envelopes packed tomorrow or in the coming days.

Hey all! Pin grading/packing is still going well, just an incredibly time-consuming process that has to happen alongside my day job, and over 90 lbs of pins is no small quantity. Apologies for a late update here, the onslaught of summer has been kicking my ass, and we were dealing with a fun few weeks of both our old AC unit dying and tripping the breaker so many times, which required getting the landlord reset it. Things are a lot more stable now, though, and I expect to be making faster headway! As always, thank you for the patience and understanding!
Hi all! So sorry for the delay in getting this update out to you, a lot of my energy and time had to be devoted to locking down a day job and subsequently adjusting to the new schedule and learning the ropes.
But! They're here! Pins have made it to me after a slightly convoluted journey that ended with a misdelivery to one of my neighbors who was very kind and helped me out. They're all absolutely gorgeous, and I am blown away with the quality of product from my new manufacturer.
The task at hand is grading (over 90 lbs of pins is A Lot), which my wife is assisting with, then packaging and sending them out! Packages will likely be sent out in small, frequent batches I can drop off daily on the way to work to get everything handled as quickly as possible.
Thank you so much, again, for all your patience-- I can't wait to finally get these beautiful pins in your hands!
If Crow ever manages to update the project, what excuse will they come up with this time as we are close to the two years since that "estimated" August 2024 shipping date (LOL)?
Here are the many possibilities:
A dramatic medical emergency accompanied by a TMI post
They've moved again
Totally forgot once more
Thought they sent it out, like they've claimed before with making posts but forgot to actually do anything
Dog or cat, and/or crow themselves all swallowed the pins
Spent ages contemplating actually doing something but somehow never got around to it
The stars are just not aligned yet, obviously
