Hello everyone - this will be the final update pertaining to this campaign until all Pastel Witchy rewards are in & I begin shipping on those.
The final 20 or so packages going out for this project will be dropped in the mail in the next day or so - you will receive an e-mail with tracking information once they have been successfully dropped off at the post office :). I am STILL INCLUDING the postcard with info on Cosmic Abyss & Obscure Celestial, even though Cosmic Abyss has been postponed. I paid for those postcards and figured I might as well use them lol. But, Cosmic Abyss will not be launching until MAY 2026 now.
Additionally, in about 2 weeks I will be launching a READY-TO-SHIP CAMPAIGN FOR THE HOLIDAYS! This campaign will be a first for Backerkit in that it will not have any wait in items shipping out! For the first time ever on backerkit - and online at all! - I will be offering pretty much ALL possible crochet designs. These will be in VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES to ensure that I can fulfill all orders through here & at my final convention of the year without needing to make any new products to fill any gaps. Once my event is over on the 23rd, I will be updating crochet stock. The event will be running from the 18th of November to the 1st of December, and I will ship out items as soon as funds for them hit my account and addresses are populated in the Pledge Manager. All items will be sent out via Ground Advantage, and should arrive by the 25th at the latest FOR CONTINENTAL US ONLY - I WILL BE OFFERING SPEEDIER SHIPPING OPTIONS FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT BE OUTSIDE THE US WHO PURCHASE.
More information will be available in updates available only to those who follow the project. Anyone who follows the project prior to launch will receive an exciting freebie - and all first 48 hour and returning backers will also be getting some additional freebies, provided you pledge to a physical tier/add-on item of some sort :) I may also be doing a cross-collab with Midnight Springs again, but that is still being decided upon.
Hello all! A short update here to let everyone know the missing stickers arrived, and the keychains should be in soon - I unfortunately will be going out of town for several weeks before the keychains arrive (I committed to dog-sitting for my parents while they go on vacation), but I will be able to get the remaining packages out the week of October 27th - all that will remain after that will be those who chose to combine shipping with Pastel Witchy. I will leave the project open until those go out, just to ensure if any changes are necessary I can make them easily. The project will close once the combined shipping items go out.
I want to thank you all GREATLY for being so patient with me. My health has been up and down all year, and unfortunately it doesn't appear that will be changing anytime soon. Your patience and continued support means the world, however, and I am eternally grateful for each and every one of you 💖
I also want to highlight a recently launched campaign from two of my very talented friends!! Click on the banners below, or on THIS LINK and THIS LINK to access the campaigns. Back both to receive TWO cross collab freebies :)
Sorry for the boring update title. There isnt much TO update. I ended up getting extremely overwhelmed preparing for my last 2 events (back to back, 1 of which was out of town), and spent the week in between basically barely functional 🥲 i am thankfully upright much earlier this week than I was after the last event, and my goal is to get out the remaining fully prepped orders this week. After that, there are orders which will be shipped with pastel witchy, and those with items I am still waiting on (stickers and keychains).
In GOOD news, the glow skelly and witches brew remakes have arrived! So those orders can be processed with this batch now! :)
I will post another update once all ready to go orders are processed, and will hopefully be able to begin any other non combined shipping orders at that time as well 🙏
Ty all for your patience as always! You are very much appreciated!
Hello everyone - I wanted to give a bit of an update with how shipping is going.
First, I received images from my manu of the remade Skelly & Witches Brew popsicle pins - the glow seems to be properly adhered this time, but I will see for sure once they reach me. They are just finishing up the 2-layer pin from Pastel Witchy, which had to be partially remade due to some color errors, but I am hopeful that those will be completed and on the way to me before the end of August.
The glow here looks MUCH more solid and less splotchy than before
This is a screenshot from a video - I am hopeful that the glow powder has actually adhered to the skulls this time around >~<
Second, I have packed ALL orders as much as I am able to, and have changed things up slightly; instead of only locking addresses immediately before shipping, I am locking them as I prep all your items to ship. Only those whose orders have all their items pulled & ready to ship are being address locked. It may be up to 2 weeks before I get through that list of orders which are ready to be shipped and actually ship them all out. So, if your address has been locked & you haven't gotten updates since, that is why! The paragraph below explains a bit why I've decided to do things this way, this time.
I hit an unforeseen snag while packing up the rest of the orders - I apparently did not order 2 of the stickers I meant to order (vaporwave v2 and Witches Brew) and so have placed and order for those; and when I ordered the freebie keychains, I missed a mistake in the proof which gave me 25 of the LEMON design and 5 of WATERMELON when it should have been the other way around. I feel extremely dumb for that one, and have placed a re-order for the proper amount of missing keychains. If you chose a watermelon keychain, there is likely going to be a delay in your order until those reach me. Pretty much everyone who ordered Pastel Witchy pins decided on combined shipping, however, so if you had a watermelon popsicle keychain, I simply noted that down and chose one of the delayed shipping orders to receive the second batch of freebies when they arrive where I could. The freebies will almost definitely arrive before all those pins do, so it shouldn't delay things any further!
Thank you all so much for your patience with the fulfillment of this campaign - I know this has been a bit rockier than my previous two campaigns, but you all have been immensely kind and understanding and I will be forever grateful for that.
I am struggling a bit with my health as a result of my bout of Mono earlier this year (I am assuming, anyway), mainly in the form of extreme fatigue, so that has also slowed things down considerably. I do still plan to launch an October campaign again this year, as well as potentially joining in on Pintopia 2026 if I am able to complete my itabag prototype by that time, but those may be the only 2 campaigns I plan for the immediate future as I re-evaluate my health and continue to figure out wtf is going on there. As much as I would love to do every single project I have in mind, it is just not feasible or fair for me to charge ahead with plans for those when I don't feel I will be able to properly fulfill all of them in a timely manner; if nothing else, I want to be sure that you all receive your rewards in a reasonable time frame, as that is the least I can do as a "thank you" for supporting me & my little business <3
As always, if you have any questions, concerns, comments, etc. you can reach out to me here, via e-mail ([email protected]), through social media, or on My facebook group or discord server!
My goal is to have all orders shipped out before the launch of my next project, by the end of September. I am very hopeful I will beat this deadline regardless.
Sorry this update is a bit rambly - I just wanted to put something out so there wasn't another month of silence with no updates!
Hi all - apologies for the delay in updates. I received stickers and freebie keychains just before leaving for Tekko, and so had to wait until I returned to finish packing the first round of orders.
Round two will begin next week, and so on until all orders that won't be combined with Pastel Witchy rewards are shipped! I will lock addresses a day or so before actual shipping (once I print labels), so you have until then to make any updates.
Thank you all for your patience as I work through these shipments - as always, if you have any questions or concerns, comment here or reach out via e-mail ([email protected]) or on my social media/discord/facebook!
