Well, i finally have all the supplies I need to start shipping orders. Which means....

Here's a small look into what the next who-knows how many hours of my life will be! (This is about 1/3 of the boxes.... excuse the pile of recycling in the corner. I'm a terrible procrastinator. I can see my mom, who reads these updates, shaking her head at me in disappointment)

Anyways, if you have a US order, expect to receive your kitties by Christmas! Packing these orders is a very arduous process as I put a lot of attention and detail into making sure everything is just right, so I'll be sharing more updates as I plod along on this very long journey!

Additionally -

If you are attending either of these events please email me to let me know if you'd like to pick up your order in person! (And of course, I can refund your shipping if this is the case)

Thanks again for all your patience and support

OH BOY, IT SURE HAS BEEN A MINUTE... AGAIN. Turns out manufacturing nearly 400 plushies takes time. Who would've guessed?

Anyways, manufacturing is COMPLETE and the kitties are being dispatched to me - the shipping is estimated to take about 35 days! I will then be shipping out orders ASAP so you all can get your cuddly kitties!!!

To tide you all over, here's some photos of the incoming army -

Wow, so many! So CUTE!!! I cant wait to have them all in my house. 

Also... 

Another reminder that some of you still have not filled out your backer survey - This will prevent you from getting your order! So please check your emails and make sure you've confirmed your order!

Thanks again for all of your patience as I get this project closer an closer to completion!

Happy July everybody! I've been busy working with my manufacturer throughout the month to get things going and I have some exciting news!

Bright and Cloud have been Finalized!!!*

*the colors on Bright's torn ear need to be inverted (inside should be darker, outside/back lighter. but this is such a minor change I figured it OK to share these images!)

Which means...

..But It can't be completed until I know the exact order count of every item. Currently, about 89% of backers have confirmed their orders. Let's get it to 100%! The sooner everyone sends in their survey, the sooner production can be completed, and the sooner everyone can get their rewards! If you didn't recieve your survey or you're having trouble filling it out, you can email me at diacheebi @ gmail.com (no spaces) for assistance!

Please note that already-completed surveys have been set to lock within the next 48 hours. You will receive an email notifying you of this - which means if there is any last minute changes you need to make, do it now!!

And, as always, the Preorder store will remain open until all backer orders have been confirmed. This will be your last chance to get these guys outside of extremely limited leftover sales and in-person events!

Thanks all so much for your patience! I can't wait for more updates from the manufacturer, to share photos of the ARMY OF KITTIES that will soon take over my place of dwelling!! 

HELLO EVERYONE!! It's the moment many of you have been waiting for....

Eek! Aren't they just the cutest?!?! I seriously cannot get over how FLUFFY Cloud is!! And Bright looks so sweet and inquisitive... I want to pick them both up and give them HUGE HUGS!!!!!

These are, again, still prototype photos, but they are extremely close to the final designs!

I have asked for one final round of tweaks on these designs, which I'll outline below:

Bright - Some color placement corrections

Cloud - Give him his nose!

So, now that we have more updated photos and they are extremely close to what the finals will look like, I have decided to set a due date for surveys...

This gives you 10 more days to make a decision on these fellas! Hopefully that's enough time. I'll be sending out reminders as the day gets closer.

And as always, for those of you who missed the campaign, you can pick up these guys via the Preorder Store, which will be closing a little bit after the surveys are due! 

Thank you so much again everybody for being patient. I wanted to make sure these guys would look awesome and I'm extremely pleased with the work my manufacturer has done. (Thank you, Yvonne, if you're reading this!)

That's all for now, I'll see you all soon!

Hello everyone! Wow, it's already been a week since the project ended, huh?! How time flies! First off, I can't thank you all enough for the support on this project. Really, I'm blown away, and I just can't say it enough, THANK YOU!!

Now, before i get into surveys, let me give an update on Bright and Cloud -

Refining them has been a tricky process, so they're not quite ready to be shown just yet. Of course, I want them to be looking their Sunday best! But rest assured, the pictures will be shared via Project Updates as soon as possible!

Likewise, Surveys will not be due until at least a week after I post more updated photos of Bright and Cloud, to give you all ample time to make a decision. So, as of now, the absolute earliest surveys could be due is July 17th. (But I'm thinking it will more likely be towards the end of July)

Oh, shoot, I mentioned surveys. Well, I suppose I have to get to that eventually, don't I? Soooo.....

Check your email to see if you received your survey. Like stated above, you do not need to fill out your survey immediately. Those of you who are only ordering from the original three designs (Squirrel, Sand, Leaf) can fill it out and submit it now, while those of you waiting on Bright and Cloud will have a little extra time. 

A hard due date for surveys will be set once the Bright & Cloud updates have been shared. (So, again, no need to stress. There is still time to make your decision!) Once the due date is decided, I will begin sending out periodic reminders, to make sure the project stays on-schedule!

Likewise, for those of you who missed out on the campaign.... 

Get any of the goodies from the campaign (including the plushies) for a limited time! Preorder store will close on 31 July, or when supplies run out. 

Anyways, that's all for now. If you're having issues with your survey, please reach out to me and I'll do my best to assist. Thank you all so much again, & I hope you have a wonderful morning/day/evening! <3
