Hey everyone!

We’ve got another exciting update for you — Cowddles the Cow and Marigold the Red Panda are now being packed and prepped for their journey to us!

Our manufacturer has started vacuum sealing these big squishy babies to save space in transit (they’re absolutely gigantic, after all!) — and we couldn’t stop giggling at how funny they look all squished in their boxes! Just look at them!! ૮₍  ˵> ヮ <˵₎ა

We’ve already completed the shipping payment, so the cargo will soon be on its way to us. This shipping method is quite slow so it might still take a while for them to arrive in our hands. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly from here on out! 🥺🤞


Once the packages arrives, we’ll be getting straight to work on sorting and packing each of the shippable pledges with care. As mentioned before, your plush might arrive looking a bit... flattened and wrinkled due to the vacuum sealing. But don’t worry — a few gentle puffs, squishes, and cuddles will bring it back to full puffy glory in no time!

Thanks again for your patience and support. We’re getting closer and closer, and we seriously can’t wait for these cuddly friends to finally meet you! Trust us, they're so squishy and comforting that it's all worth it 🥹


With fluff and love,

Hey everyone!
We’re back with an exciting follow-up to our last update — and this time, we’ve got completed bulk production photos to share!!

While the sample of Peanut the Opossum is currently undergoing some tweaks and adjustments, we have these other exciting news:
✨Cowddles the Cow and Marigold the Red Panda are officially finished!✨
Our manufacturer just sent us these super fresh shots straight from the production line, and we couldn’t wait to show you! Just look at these squishy cuties all ready to cuddle their way to you 🥹🎀

It’s such a huge milestone for this project to see them all done and looking exactly how we envisioned — from the embroidered little hearts on their bellies and toe beans on their paws, to the custom tags and labels we worked so hard on 😍 We're beyond proud of how they turned out, and we hope you love them just as much!

The plushies will be vacuum sealed by the manufacturer to save as much space as possible (they're huge and squishy, after all!), and then sent our way —we’re still waiting to get the exact shipping date, but it should be very soon!


Once they arrive to us, we’ll start carefully packing them up for you. Just a heads-up: when your plush arrives, it may look a little flat or squished due to the vacuum sealing of course —but don’t worry! You’ll just need to give it a few gentle *PUFFS* and squishes with your hands to bring it back to full fluffiness! 👏💕


We’ll try our best to create and include a simple *graphic* instruction mini-sheet with each plush, just in case — though they're super easy info to remember!


Thanks again for sticking with us on this other plushie journey. We're getting closer every day, and seeing these cuties in bulk now is making it all feel even more real!


We seriously can’t wait to get them into your arms 🐮


Talk soon & take care,
the Quirkory team~

Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for your patience with this campaign.

We wanted to share a new update, even though the remaining part of the project is still in the same final production stage for now.

At this point, as you already know we had already received Cowddles the Cow and Marigold the Red Panda plushies, and pledges containing only those items have already been shipped out.

What we are still waiting on now are the Peanut the Opossum plushies and the accessories, which are still being completed by the manufacturer before they can be sent to us. We had hoped the manufacturer would already have completed and dispatched these remaining items by now, but we are unfortunately still waiting for that final step from their side.

So while we do not yet have a new confirmed shipping date for the remaining pledges, the project is still actively moving forward and we are waiting for the manufacturer to finish and dispatch the last missing items!

One important thing we also wanted to share here, especially since there have been questions about it in the comments, is something we had mentioned elsewhere so far: US orders will be able to ship again once the remaining items reach us. They will no longer need to stay on hold, because we now have a DDP shipping contract in place, which means shipments to the US are no longer blocked now that we have this new method 🎉


As soon as the manufacturer confirms completion and shipment of the last remaining items, we will let you know right away.

We know some backers would rather hear from us even when there is no major milestone yet, so we wanted to check in and confirm that this campaign is still in progress and has not been forgotten.


Thank you again for sticking with us through the delays and for continuing to wait so patiently. We truly appreciate it!

Wish you all a super lovely day in the meantime,
Inari & Mako

👋 Hey everyone!
We hope you had a warm, peaceful Holiday season, however you chose to spend it! And we wish you the brightest, kindest, happiest New Year! 🌟✨


It’s now the very beginning of 2026 (can you believe it?! 😭), and even if we don’t have any major updates to share just yet, we wanted to check in and let you know…

We learned silence can feel a little discouraging sometimes. But behind the scenes, things are still moving — production, coordination with manufacturers, emails, logistics, packaging, follow-ups. The current work is very "invisible", but it’s all ongoing. We’re doing our best to move things forward, at the often awkward pace that small creators with no external help, like us, have to dance to. 🥺

✨ A tiny extra peek just for this campaign!
While we still don’t have much to show yet, we do have a little behind-the-scenes glimpse of Peanut plushies currently in the end phase production… 👀
Here’s a snapshot of Peanut the Opossum coming to life — still inside out, but already looking adorable! 💝
We’ll be sharing more once we receive more photos from our manufacturer of them being packed and sent to us! But we couldn’t resist sharing this final tiny work-in-progress moment with you 🐿️✨
📸 

We’re far from perfect — a little clumsy, a little chaotic… we stumble, we get overwhelmed, but we never stop trying.

We can’t wait for the day we get to share exciting news, tangible progress, or even the final fulfillment photos with you!! That moment is still coming — and we’re holding onto that light with all our hearts. 💜
In the meantime, thank you for sticking around, for being patient, and for still believing in this little dream of ours. REALLY.

We’re wishing you a 2026 filled with warmth, breakthroughs, self-kindness and color — and we truly hope that what we’re building here will add a tiny spark of that to your year, too, despite all. 🌟


🌱 A small note:
This update is going out across all of our pending/open campaigns — because while each project is different and has its own timing/complexity, the heart and care behind them is the same. 💜
We know it’s taking way longer than expected. And we want you to know:
it’s in our own interest to fulfill as soon as possible, too.
Only once these campaigns are fulfilled we can bring the leftover products to our shop and actually earn something from them.
Crowdfunding doesn’t bring profits; it helps fund production, and sometimes we even have to add personal savings to cover unforeseen costs. 😣
So please rest assured: we want these campaigns to be finished, more than anyone.
We’re committed to making that happen, even if slowly — and we’re endlessly grateful for your trust, your patience, and your presence. 🎀
As we always say, your support keeps our hearts warm and our motivation alive. 

Even just knowing you’re still out there cheering us on (and/or simply waiting patiently) means everything to us. This community is what keeps us grounded. Thank you for being here.


We’re leaving behind the weight of the past year, and carrying forward only what fuels us: hope, connection, and the belief that we can finish what we started — together. 💫


With so much love,
— Inari & Mako 🐾
