New Update

~ 🐾 ~ Just because things are hectic here's how I'm going compared to 12 days ago when I gave the last update.
The calendar - It's half done. I am sincerely struggling to push through as it's a lot of large pieces and I've fallen way behind my intended schedule. I'm still on target to finish it in time for FurDU. I thank you participants for their trust and patience.
Con Prep & T-shirts - All my international stock is ordered. Stickers are in the mail, tapestries should arrive this week and t-shirt transfers are currently being manufactured in China and should hopefully arrive in the next 2 weeks. My money situation has eased a little thanks to Patreon (THANK YOU) so I should be able to get through the rest of the stock and prep with little more than one or two YCHs to back me up. What's left are buttons, prints, printing calendars and making con badges. It's a lot right now but I thankfully have all free weekends this month (my birthday excluded) so I have loads of free time if I need it.
Pins and the Kickstarter - It's back on track! The kickstarter page itself is almost ready to launch. My test run of pins (100 pumas) arrived and they are STUNNING!!!! You can see photos on my twitter. I've bumped the full collection up to 25 pins and I have 10 completed and 15 sketched. I've also got some vague planning for extra stuff happening but that'll be mostly done AFTER the kickstarter is successful/reaches a certain point. I really wanted to kick the whole thing off this week but I realised how stupid it would be to have to prepare designs for stretch goals in the same month I'm dying from con prep. So instead of ending the kickstarter at FurDU I may choose to start it there, or maybe a few days beforehand. Those attending the con will be able to see the test pins in person. I keep calling them test pins but they're pretty much the real deal. It's looking really good and I'm really excited.
Personally - I'm a stressed wreck. Nothing to be actually worried about just, pleeeeeeeeeease be understanding if I get snappy in the next few weeks. It's not personal or deliberate or even conscious. I just might get a bit blunt... so things happen and I can keep moving through everything. I shall be revived in June.
Also, it's my birthday on the 25th, mentioning it BECAUSE I CAN. If any close friends are planning on getting me anything for that can I suggest you don't and please make a donation to World Wildlife Fund or the Australian Cancer Council for me instead? I have enough stuff and art and stuff. Stuff. I'd rather that effort go to something that needs it.
Thanks again to everyone for their patience. Those who follow my telegram channel will know I've pushed everyone back a week in my schedule due to... not being able to predict the future lol. Some people have been bumped back until after FurDU which I regret but can't help right now. If you have any issues please contact me.
