Hey, Cookie Crew! HEALTH STUFF/Where I've been---> I'm sorry for my recent silence!! I got slammed by a cold that I got after I took my kiddo to urgent care (She is fine!!! Didn't even get a cold, too wth) and then as soon as I was better, I threw my back out. I have chronic backpain anyway, but this was some how worse. I was pulling one of our trashcans to the curb and was immediately hit with a wave of pain, went to bed, and when I woke up I couldn't hardly stand. I was on the floor crying like a little punk.
We managed to get me an online appointment with a doctor, and he prescribed me a couple of things that have helped tremendously, so I'm on the mend now. Just a reminder to take care of your back, y'all. I'm sure some of you totally know where I'm coming from with chronic pain issues. Sending you love and support, cause it stinks!! <--- End of Healthblalbhalblabbing
TLDR// I got a cold and then busted my weak ah back, but I'm better hehe
One more very important update!!! Our designer is on a one week leave from work, so that kind of stalls plushie updates. They could assign me a different designer, but I worry that the quality won't be the same, and our current designer is more familiar with the brand. She's so so good.
Not to say the other designers aren't, but they all have different techniques and stuff. They're not all built the same at all. It's an art in itself!
So, my plan is to just wait. She'll be back on the 27th, so it won't be too bad. Hopefully all is okay with her. ðŸ˜
Okay, onto plushie stuff!!! Before our designer went on leave, she gave us our first look at Fairycake! Please keep in mind that this IS the first sample, and not indicative of the final product!!
Here are my redlines for this first sample!
I'm on the fence about the white sprinkles on top of the icing, but I'd like to see the next sample with them before I make any decisions on that! I'm really excited to see sample 2. ^^
As for the our camel, I had to think a lot about it and I decided that it'd be nice to see our camel with a more traditional camel shaped head!
It's difficult to say how it will look until we see it in the fluff, but I asked that we focus on just the head for now, and then we'll tackle the body (which I feel like is already a lot closer than it was!
Our lucky backer who claimed the custom cookie slot also got an update!! Sunday is looking so cute already! There are a few things that need to change, but I think for a first sample, they look amazing!!
This makes me want to design another bunny with floppy ears, too. The effect is so cute!
This has been a pretty awesome experience so far, so I'm really eager to offer more of these in the future! I might even work on plushies for people in private, if anyone would be interested in that! Like a commission sort of thing!
On a final note, I'm attaching a poll so we can decide Fairycake's first name once and for all!! Be sure to vote, but remember, if your choice doesn't win you are always welcome to name your cookies anything you like! ^^
That's all I got right now! Thank you for all the the patience and support!
