👋 Hey everyone! We hope you had a warm, peaceful Holiday season, however you chose to spend it! And we wish you the brightest, kindest, happiest New Year! 🌟✨
It’s now the very beginning of 2026 (can you believe it?! 😭), and even if we don’t have any major updates to share just yet, we wanted to check in and let you know…
💌 We’re still here. Still working. Still pushing through in the background — slowly but steadily.
We learned silence can feel a little discouraging sometimes. But behind the scenes, things are still moving — production, coordination with manufacturers, emails, logistics, packaging, follow-ups. The current work is very "invisible", but it’s all ongoing. We’re doing our best to move things forward, at the often awkward pace that small creators with no external help, like us, have to dance to. 🥺
We’re far from perfect — a little clumsy, a little chaotic… we stumble, we get overwhelmed, but we never stop trying.
We can’t wait for the day we get to share exciting news, tangible progress, or even the final fulfillment photos with you!! That moment is still coming — and we’re holding onto that light with all our hearts. 💜 In the meantime, thank you for sticking around, for being patient, and for still believing in this little dream of ours. REALLY.
We’re wishing you a 2026 filled with warmth, breakthroughs, self-kindness and color — and we truly hope that what we’re building here will add a tiny spark of that to your year, too, despite all. 🌟
🌱 A small note: This update is going out across all of our pending/open campaigns — because while each project is different and has its own timing/complexity, the heart and care behind them is the same. 💜 We know it’s taking way longer than expected. And we want you to know: it’s in our own interest to fulfill as soon as possible, too. Only once these campaigns are fulfilled we can bring the leftover products to our shop and actually earn something from them. Crowdfunding doesn’t bring profits; it helps fund production, and sometimes we even have to add personal savings to cover unforeseen costs. 😣 So please rest assured: we want these campaigns to be finished, more than anyone. We’re committed to making that happen, even if slowly — and we’re endlessly grateful for your trust, your patience, and your presence. 🎀 As we always say, your support keeps our hearts warm and our motivation alive.
Even just knowing you’re still out there cheering us on (and/or simply waiting patiently) means everything to us. This community is what keeps us grounded. Thank you for being here.
We’re leaving behind the weight of the past year, and carrying forward only what fuels us: hope, connection, and the belief that we can finish what we started — together. 💫
As shared in our previous update back in July, the production for this campaign had been temporarily paused while we searched for better solutions to continue moving forward — safely and sustainably.
Since then, we’ve been actively scouting reliable new manufacturers to help us diversify production across our different campaigns. It's been a tough process, with many unanswered emails, delays, and hit-or-miss samples… but we’re finally starting to see some light. ✨
Here’s a very exciting first result: Cowrampus is here — and this is the best-looking prototype photo we’ve received so far!! 🥹🎉
What do you think?!
We’re honestly so happy with how this one turned out: solid gold plating, crisp colors, clean embossed logo on the back, and adorable energy just like we imagined! 💖 We truly believe we can move forward with this manufacturer and finally resume production for the MyMeowMoo Holiday collection.
We’ll be placing the full production order shortly, and of course, we’ll keep you updated as much as we can. More samples photos may come in the meantime — but this is definitely a promising new start for this campaign. 💪
🚚 Shipping News — USA, EU & ROW
By the time we receive all the finished pins from this new manufacturer as well, we should finally be able to ship them everywhere again — including the USA! 🎉
We’ve recently signed all the paperwork with our courier to activate the new DDP shipping method, which will allow us to resume deliveries to the US without the outrageous extra tariffs currently being charged. We’re just waiting on their green light to go ahead. Fingers crossed! 🤞
As for Europe and the Rest of the World, in theory, nothing has changed as of now. So, once all the rewards are in our hands, they’ll be shipped out normally to Europe and the Rest of the World.
🧠 About September — Why We’ve Been Quiet
We know things have felt quiet on our end lately. The truth is, we decided to take the whole month of September off from social media and public posting. As we wrote on other posts, we were completely depleted — not just creatively, but socially and emotionally too. 🥺 Our batteries were empty, and even though we weren’t “visibly active,” we’ve still been working behind the scenes on important logistics and production tasks (like the courier contracts we mentioned above).
If you’ve messaged us or left a comment and haven’t heard back yet, please don’t take it personally — we truly care, and we’re doing our best to catch up slowly. You might even find some answers to your questions already here in this update!
We’ve said it before and it still applies: we’re not perfect, and this is something we keep working on — especially when life throws unexpected challenges our way.
We know it’s a lot to ask, but we truly need your patience and understanding right now, just like we try our best to understand your own needs for clarity and updates. 💌
If we ever go quiet, it’s never because we’ve disappeared — it just means we’re working quietly, or we’re recovering. But we’re still here. Always.
📌 If you don’t see an update for your specific campaign yet, please know we’re still preparing and writing those as we speak. These things take time and energy — especially when everything is interconnected — so please be patient with us and avoid sending additional messages or comments asking about it. Every update is coming, and we’re doing our very best to share them all as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding regarding this too! 💜
💬 Thank you for being here
To those of you who continue to show kindness, empathy, and gentle support, even when things are less than ideal — thank you. ❤️ To those of you who’ve stayed patient, supportive, and kind throughout all this — even quietly — we see you, we feel your warmth. And to everyone who chooses to cheer us on in the comments, send a little heart, or say “you got this!”... those are the words that help us not freeze up and keep going, truly. 💗🥹
We’re excited to share more good news soon, and we can’t wait to show you the next MyMeowMoo designs as we move forward with this new production wave.
Thank you for believing in us and in this tiny jolly cat-cow crew. 🐮🎄🐱
Hello Backers Frens! We wanted to give you a quick update on this collection~
We know it’s been quiet around this campaign and it’s been a while since our last update — so we wanted to check in with a quick note.
As we mentioned in the previous update, production for some collections (including MyMeowMoo Holiday) are currently paused while we focus on evaluating whether our new manufacturer (the one currently handling the new production attempt of our Delidragons collection) will be reliable and consistent enough for us to entrust them with this project and others as well.
Unfortunately, that process takes time, especially because Delidragons includes over 40 designs, which makes production much slower than usual. And since other collections (like Delicats) are also waiting in the queue, we have to move carefully and one step at a time.
After running into serious issues with previous manufacturers, we had no choice but to put all following projects on hold until we found a more trustworthy partner.
So, as said, we’re now using Delidragons as a test run with our new manufacturer, and we’ll only proceed with other collections once we’re confident in the results. And while it’s taking more time than expected, it’s the only way we can make sure future collections (including this one!) are produced with the care and quality you deserve.
This project isn’t cancelled, and we’re not going anywhere. We just want to move forward when we’re confident the path is solid.
Still, despite the long wait, our goal remains the same: to deliver high-quality pins that do justice to the designs and to your support.
Thanks for your understanding — and for sticking with us through delays and detours. You’re the reason we’re still here.
We're really looking forward to the moment we can finally say that production for this collection is underway — it will be such a relief and a joy! We’re doing our best to get there~
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.
