Project Update: Let’s do this, for real this time!
I’m sure everyone is excited about this and I can’t wait to keep you posted on the process from here on out! Btw i think I’ll keep the preorder store open until numbers are finalised after I’ve ordered the amounts required of each pin (MOQ is like 50pcs) so I’m not worried about running out really, if you haven’t gotten one of the new pins or want to share with friends feel free to! I’ll make sure to order extra anyways for flaw rates and all that 💕
I’ve been vectoring the little cuties so haven’t had time to make full new things to decorate the update with but I wanted to share the backing card design and some WIPs
Anyway thanks everyone for being so lovely! Is there anything else you really wanna see? Let me know!

Hi! Sorry to be a bother but as a backer, is there any way to combine orders from the pre-order store to save on shipping? It’s wanting to charge me another $19 AUD to ship the Kit and Sunny pins. :(
Project Update: New designs and refunds
Cards will be charged on Friday the 11th I will manage all refunds and cancellations before then!
An apology & Refund info:
So current plan is if you want to request a refund I’ll and space them out as to not financially impact myself and completion of the campaign since I’ve already spent some of it on sampling and packaging but I understand some have fallen out of love with the designs due to the wait I want to do my best to make sure everyone who requests will receive one. Please comment below and I’ll organise it and I know it’s rude to ask anything from you but once it’s issued please reply to your comment so others know that I’m honouring it and reliable on this matter.
Those who want to buy the rest of the designs just released which are featured below can find them in the preorder shop it’ll be closed after the 11th and I’ll reopen the store after I’ve completed fulfilment with the limited extras so people who enjoy the designs and might have gotten refunds or missed out have a chance to reorder the excess when trust is restored!
The last thing I want is for this to read as a sympathy card I’m just explaining where I’m at please take it as such, I don’t expect people to trust or return instantly or at all I just want to make things right! i truely appreciate everyone for keeping this community so sweet and kind for how flaky I’ve been if there’s anything I can do right now to help please let me know. I’m not going anywhere this time I truely promise especially now that everything is out and done in terms of the art side of things.

Pin progress:
I fear in my want to make something super cool I strayed too far from the design I wanted to create but I’m just thinking about what I can do to make it like the artwork, maybe since some manufacturers have implemented magnetic cat eye or sandblast effect with A’s colour? Definitely need to fix the recessed area of “honey” that should be metal
Finished pin designs:
I think the strawpurries came out exceptionally cute! Obviously these are samples where you see the screen print overlap it won’t be like that on actual production and if it is I’ll clean each individually!
New designs now in the preorder store!
——
I have some other designs kind of sketched / planned but I will save those for a later campaign since they need some more love before I can share them if i still have enough money for it I will add these into the packages randomly and only get a limited amount so it’s a complete surprise!
I’ve also added them to surveys if people want to switch from other designs c:

Hey! So at this point its been about another 3 months with no production updates or fulfillment of pledges. While obstacles are understandable it seems this project may be a little too overwhelming for one person to manage. If you could maybe call on your support network for help to keep the project consistent or just canceling the project at this point and refunding backer money. Your wellbeing is important but a large amount of people have trusted you and paid for items that none of us have. You gave timelines and dates for updates, charging of cards etc and none of these things happened as of yet. It's becoming a little bit concerning as backers to be kept on the rails waiting for the crumbs of information we've been provided before you abandon the project for another quarter of a year. I don't think its fair to the community, but it also isnt fair to keep yourself in mental turmoil over a project that may have been more than you could take on. Please consider the community concerns around this project and your own well being and consider either refunding backers or finding someone to help you manager the project. Kind wishes ~
