Just popping in for a quick update! We’re super excited to let you know that thework for the surveys is all wrapped up and surveys are currently under review! 🎉 We’re expecting Backerkit to give us the green light within the next few business days (even if they'll have an office closure on Jan 20). Fingers crossed for a smooth approval so we can kick off the Smoke Test soon!
Thank you all so incredibly much for your patience and support! ❤️ In the meantime, here’s a little sneak peek of the survey and some awesome graphics we’ve worked on!
We just realized we never took the time to celebrate the incredible end of our campaign and the achievement of our final goals back in December! So, here we are —ready to celebrate with you and express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support ❤️
We’re currently working on the surveys, which will be sent out soon. It’s typically suggested to wait ~14 business days before sending them, and we’re still at about 6 business days as of now.
We've been asked about the stickers, and we’re glad to confirm that we plan to include all the designs (including the latest ones added to the campaign) on different sticker sheets. You’ll get a complete look at them in the surveys!
That’s all for now. We hope your New Year is off to a great start already.
We're truly grateful and extremely happy that in just the first few hours from launch, we’ve unlocked almost all the designs and reached the 94% of our stretch-goal funding!
To sprinkle more joy, we’ve just added some new designs to be unlocked!! We really hope you like them ♡
And if this good vibe keeps going, we can add even more designs!
What themes/designs would you like to see added next? We’d love to hear your thoughts /ᐠ ᵕ ⩊ ᵕ̤ マᯓᡣ𐭩
Thank you again for cheering our mood with your love and support during this particularly difficult period for us. Really hope you're having a wonderful Holiday time -filled with laughter and happiness!
It’s been a while, and we know many of you are wondering where things stand with My MeowMoo Holiday. While we don’t have the exciting production news we wish we could be sharing right now, we still wanted to check in and let you know: this project hasn’t been forgotten, and it is still moving forward — even if painfully slowly.
✨ TL;DR — The short version: Production for My MeowMoo Holiday is still on hold due to ongoing delays with our manufacturers. We're currently testing a new supplier (via another project) to make sure they're reliable before moving forward with this one. No cards have been charged yet, and we’ll only proceed once we’re confident we can deliver the quality you deserve. Thank you so much for your patience — we’re still here, still working, and we promise these pins and your pledges are not forgotten 💜
Like several of our other campaigns, My MeowMoo Holiday got tangled in a web of ongoing complications — some expected, some wildly not. We’re doing our best to sort them out, one step at a time, and we’re beyond grateful for your continued patience while we navigate all this mess.
🐾 A very slow adventure...
When we launched this campaign, we had hoped to be much further along by now. But truthfully? The problems that hit us during 2024 have continued to spill over into this year too — and MeowMoo got caught in the wave. Production delays, failed samples, and supplier changes have piled up across multiple projects, making it impossible to move as fast as we’d like.
That said, we’re not giving up! Not even close.
We love this collection — it’s one of the most joyful, lighthearted ones we’ve ever created — and we’re determined to bring it to life properly. Even if that means moving at the pace of a sleepy cow-cat on vacation mode 🐮🐱💤
💔 Why everything’s taking so long
If you’ve followed any of our previous updates, you might already know that last year brought some heavy personal and logistical challenges. We’ve been dealing with deep burnout and major mental health setbacks (also due the loss of our beloved babies and other very personal reasons, we already shared in details previously). — and at the same time, we suddenly found ourselves without our trusted manufacturers we had built our workflow around for so long and we had relied on for years.
We’ve also come to terms with being both autistic and ADHD — something that explains a lot about why we’ve always struggled with executive functioning, time perception, and consistent communication.
That discovery has helped, but it’s also meant unlearning and relearning how to work, how to cope, and how to show up. It’s a process, and it’s not linear.
Updates are one of the things we’ve dropped the ball on the most — not because we don’t care, but because the weight of “still no good news” has made it hard to speak up at all. But we’re working on it. Therapy, structure, and support are slowly helping us rebuild better habits (including being more consistent here).
🔧 Behind the scenes
At the moment, we’re still waiting on good sample results from yet another new manufacturer — the one we turned to after previous production attempts didn’t meet our standards.
We’re currently testing them with a second round of Delidragons remakes (which we’ve fully financed out of our own pocket). You can read more about that in the latest Delidragons campaign update.
If the results are good, My MeowMoo Holiday will be one of the next projects in line to move forward.
We know this staggered approach isn’t ideal — but it’s the safest way we’ve found to avoid repeating past mistakes and bad quality. After all the setbacks (and losses), we’re being extra careful about who we trust with your rewards.
🚚 New Shipping Timeline? Not yet.
We’re not in a place to set new delivery dates just yet — and we know how frustrating that is. Right now, everything depends on sample approval and production scheduling with the new manufacturer.
Also, as a small, independent team still without a fixed base or workspace, even the simplest tasks (like packing or shipping) can quickly get complicated.
But we want you to know: you will get your pins. We’re absolutely committed to that. We just want to do it right, even if it means more waiting.
📌Where things stand:
🔄 New manufacturer test in progress — we’re evaluating their reliability through a parallel production round.
🧪 Sample pending — waiting on a good result before greenlighting production for My MeowMoo Holiday.
💳 No charges yet — cards will only be charged once we’re confident in the samples and production timeline.
✉️ Updates coming — we’re working on being more present and sharing something (even brief) every 4 weeks.
📦 Shipping timeline: still uncertain — we’ll update the moment things move.
🌱 Moving forward with intention
We’re learning (slowly, stubbornly) that done is better than perfect. That it’s okay to show up even when things aren’t going well. That progress can be imperfect, messy, and still valid. And your understanding in this, your support, kindness, and patience mean the world to us — more than we can ever express in a single post.
You might see very similar updates (or part of them) across our other projects — because while the specific details may vary, the core challenges we’ve been facing, and the way we’re trying to work through them, are the same and deeply connected. It didn’t feel right to reword the same truth over and over just for the sake of variation. We want to be transparent across the board, and this message felt important enough to be shared in full — to make sure everyone gets the same level of insight and care.
💜 Thank you for being here
If you’re reading this: thank you. Thank you for your trust, your compassion, and your continued belief in us — even when we’re quiet, even when things take far longer than planned.
We promise we haven’t stopped caring — about you, about these pins and all our pending projects, or about delivering something beautiful and worth the wait.
We’ll be back soon with more news, and as soon as we have something to show you — you’ll be the first to know.
