I just sent out the last of the immediately fulfillable orders - we are now about 90% fulfilled!! Yippee!! Thank you for your patience as I got this done. This has been such a turbulent year and it's been tough juggling everything. I planned my 2025 schedule thinking I wasn't going to be gone as much for cons and wasn't going to be moving, but alas! Thank you so much for being patient and kind and joining me on this journey!
I have more great news, but with an asterisk! Most of the extra pins are finally DONE! They didn't put clasps on the necklace when they made them so right now they're finishing correcting that, but once that is done they will be sending the pins my way. (If you follow my Forged in Flame campaign, those pins are also just about done!)

Raven Skull!
Caribou Skull!
Deer Skull!
Ram Skull!
Necklace without the clasps...
...but they're fixing it!~
The pictures are a bit dark but I can tell these are what I intended! Definitely there were more hiccups than I'm used to in making these, some of which were my own lapse in manufacturer communication while I was moving over the summer, but I'm glad everything came together. I can't say for sure how soon the pins will arrive to me, but I will send out the last few orders right away as soon as they do.
The calendar is also going well! It's a different printer than I usually use so I don't know for sure when they'll be done and in my hands, but the printer is based in my country so I'm hoping it won't be too long!
I am moving once more... but this should finally be the last time. I've been in temp housing the past few months so now we're going to a more permanent living situation! We get keys on the 22nd.
Updated Timeline:
Pins and calendar arrive mid December
EU/UK backers notified and charged via Etsy mid December

Tentative Pin Campaigns:
One Piece Sword Pre Order: Timing TBA, this will likely be a pre order collab with Tavarita and Atomicpowered
Animal Talismans - Festival: More animal talismans-style pins!!!! More animals, plus festival masks and lanterns! Will likely include an ita bag! This will either be in early summer (like a fireworks festival!) or in the fall (harvest festival!)
I'm planning to be much pickier about conventions next year so I can be home more and focus on pins, which to be honest is one of my favourite things to do!
I'll get back to it and let you know when the pins for this campaign are expected to arrive, probably as a comment on this update.
