The small batch of surveys had a small thing that needed fixing, but everything looks like it's been working correctly since so the last of the surveys have been sent out! <3

It may take some time for you to receive the option from my understanding, but it will get to you soon! And of course if there's any questions, concerns, or anything at all please reach out! I'm so excited to see what flavor of pin is the favorite~!

So keep an eye on your email and such for that survey, the sooner that survey's are filled out, the sooner I can get an accurate number to order which can help speed along the process!

I've got lots to update on finally, so let's dig in!

First of all I want to apologize for the lack of smaller updates! I've gotten a few messages via various sources worried about the state of Purrfect Eats, but don't worry! I'm still here working away behind the scenes on getting everything ready!


Right after the campaign ended I have been busy with two conventions ontop of other work and wanting to make sure I looked everything over, over and over again, it took me longer to make this update post and for that I apologize!

I always try to be transparent about my work and what can cause delays in updates and ultimately I felt like I didn't have ENOUGH to update on to post much until I had things ready for more concrete, here is what's going on, but after talking to quite a few of you it sounds like it would be much more preferred for smaller updates more often than big ones just so it also shows that I'm still here! Working away on the project you loved enough to support (and for that it means the world to me! <3)!

BUT without any more delay, let's talk about where we're at!

Smoke Tests have been sent out! A few backers have received their surveys as the first wave of testing! This is to make sure that everything is as it should be, no one is getting weird charges, weights are getting calculated correctly, and shipping is adding up like it should!

Once those smoke test surveys have been answered and any stray issues are resolved, the rest will be sent out! This will give me a good ballpark of final numbers to order for each design.

As for where the pins are at? I've been working on getting the colors just right and files sent to the manufacturer! They are first getting formatted for the pin making process! As soon as I have a good idea of how many of each design we'll need they will head into full production and I'm stoked to get to share that process with you soon!

Stickers have also been finalized and ordered in a smaller batch for events to get to talk about these upcoming pins, as well as make sure I've got them all ready to go so as soon as I have the pins in hand I can ship out all of the orders ASAP!
I haven't gotten any good photos of them yet, but hope to try and take some as soon as the sun is shining a bit more to really show off the crisp colors!

And last but not least, while simple, I'm working on finalizing the backing card for each pin, the back will have some basic pin care info, but the front of the card will match the cute menu style graphics I've been using during the campaign!

I've always loved the idea of square cards for pins so getting to use the design from the campaign as the backing card was too perfect to pass up.

But that wraps up everything for today! I'll be sure to post again when the rest of the surveys go out, and I can't wait to see what designs you all loved the most! <3

As always thank you for your support and can't wait to share more of this project with you!

When the campaign started it felt so far away, but now it's almost over! We've got just over 24 hours left to back the project, so if you haven't joined in and were waiting to, now is the time! <3

As a last little update, votes are in and acrylic magnets of all of the designs have been added to the add-ons!

Being food themed it felt so fitting to me to have these guys as magnets as well, so you'll be also able to display them on your fridge as a sturdy acrylic magnet! <3

And of course don't forget about my lovely collab partner!
She's wonderfully versed in the world of pins, makes the cutest designs, and has definitely given me a helpful hand figuring out backerkit for the first time!

It's been an absolutely pleasure running this project and I'll see you again tomorrow with a closing post! <3

Just under a week left now and I still cannot overstate how blown away I am by the support in these silly cats!

I've definitely seen quite a few things brought up about how tariffs and such will affect the ongoing pintopia projects, and it may cause a delay in my estimated timeframe due to customs/additional fees, but I'll be sure to keep you updated on the process as much as I can!

With this being my first pin campaign and the unknown of delays in shipping I've decided that I'm not adding any more new pin designs to the project this go around to make sure that what we do have avoids any possible hiccups and arrives as close as possible to the predicted timeframe. However don't fret if you were hoping for more cats, I already have the gears turning for more purrfect treats for a future project!

But for the current Purrfect Eats, I finally have the finished sticker designs for the Hot Cat and Tainyaki!
Both of these stickers can be grabbed through the single sticker add-on, or with the new add-on of the full set of 8 stickers!

While I may not be adding any additional pins to this campaign, I'm looking at another add on for something I can source locally or make in my home office!
Would love to hear any thoughts or preferences on magnets, pin back buttons, bookmarks or sticker sheets!

Over the next week I'll also be working on the design for the backing cards! They will be the same chalkboard style background as the images in the campaign, but themed more after Daily Special menus! I'll be sure to post another update with the proposed designs as soon as I finish my ideas!

As always, thank you for being here and thank you for your support! Supporting this project helps me have the ability to keep creating cute and colorful things to bring a little more magic to the world. <3
