Surveys going out, Failed payment warning & Timeline
7 days ago

Hey all!
Surveys are going out! They will be kept open until all plush have prototypes, but filling them out ASAP helps me get numbers together quicker! But of course, if you're on the fence and want to wait for prototypes before committing to your survey picks, that's fine too :)
Thanks to all of your support, we managed to unlock 4 designs! Basil, Cedar, Shiloh, and Lavi are all options for you to choose from.
The Preorder Store is open!
It'll remain open until closer to fulfillment, or until they're close to selling out, whichever comes first.
NON-BACKERS: I HIGHLY recommend placing a preorder to guarantee you get one, since leftovers aren't guaranteed for this campaign!Preorders are charged within 24 hours of checkout.Reminder for backers with failed pledge payments—
If there is no successful payment by
October 6th at 11:59PM CST, your pledge will be considered abandoned and will be canceled.
At the time of writing, there are 12 of you.
Please refer to this Backerkit support article on how to fix problems with your payment method.Here's a look at the estimated project timeline, which is subject to change:
-
October: Basil's prototype is finalized and sent to me for confirmation
-
October - December: Cedar, Shiloh, and Lavi prototypes are finalized and sent to me for confirmation
-
December - March: Plush production
-
April - June: Plush are shipped to me, quality-checked, then shipped to you!
I'll be sharing prototype and production photos in my Discord server, then finalized versions will be shared here! If you'd like a first look at the process, consider joining my server (linked below).
No worries: All important updates will still be shared here and you will never be left in the dark about your pledge ♥If you have any questions, please reach out via email at
[email protected]. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on updates, though I will periodically check for them.
Lavi is UNLOCKED! 2 Days Left!

Hey all!
I think we have enough of a funding buffer to safely declare Lavi to be UNLOCKED!! I’ll update page images when I’m not on mobile!
Think we can get to Parker too? I’m cautiously optimistic…! 🥰
What’s next?
We’re nearing the final hours of the campaign, so here is some important info as we transition to post-campaign!
The campaign ends on Tuesday, September 22nd, at 8PM CST and your pledge will be charged.
Once it ends, Backerkit typically charges payment methods within 24-72 hours. I do not offer refunds, so be sure to adjust or cancel your pledge before then!
What if my payment fails?
If this happens, you will receive an email from Backerkit informing you of the failure with instructions on how to fix it. Backerkit will attempt to recharge your payment method ~7 days after the initial charge.
‼️ If there is no successful payment by October 6th at 11:59PM CST, your pledge will be considered abandoned and will be canceled. ‼️
You will also be put on my blacklist and will be blocked by Backerkit staff from supporting any of my future campaigns.
How do I choose the rewards I want?
Backerkit will send out surveys via email around Friday, September 25th (some of you may get them a day or two before this to help me discover any issues or errors). This is where you’ll be able to see any freebies you qualify for, choose your pledge rewards, pick any other add-ons you’d like, and fill out your address.
You will also confirm your payment method for the shipping costs, which will be charged closer to fulfillment. If you add other add-ons to your order, you will be charged for them at the same time as your shipping cost. Don’t worry, I’ll post an update and send an email warning before you’re charged for shipping costs so it’s not a surprise. You will still be able to update your address until right before I begin shipping.
Surveys will be kept open for changes and/or add-ons until all plush have finished prototypes, which is estimated to take ~2 months.
The Pre-Order Store will open after the campaign ends!
Backers should wait for surveys to go out to purchase add-ons! You'll be charged shipping twice if you're a backer and also place a preorder, since Backerkit sees it as two separate orders. So just be patient and spread the word to your non-backer friends!
Thanks so much for your support on this campaign! 💜
Shiloh UNLOCKED! Final Stretch Goals with 4 Days Left!
13 days ago

Hey all!
Great news— Shiloh the opossum is UNLOCKED!
Wait, how is Shiloh unlocked?
I asked my manu if I could do a lower bulk order quantity and he agreed! This means I'll be able to fund more designs for the campaign, but it also means there will be
very limited quantities, if any, available in my shop after fulfillment.
Cool! So when do Lavi and Parker unlock?
Here's the thing... I don't really know 😬
I received Basil's prototype and while yes, the bottle does fit inside them now...
it's entirely too difficult to do so. Much more difficult than I feel comfortable sending to backers 💀 This means I had to order essentially a third prototype to have a bigger zipper/body to ensure the plush do what I need it to do before production... which also means the quote will change again.
The new prototype won't be finished before the campaign ends, and my manu doesn't want to give an incorrect quote on a prototype that isn't completed, which I understand. But because of this, I once again have to overestimate for stretch goals to make sure I don't go in the red.
All that said, here are the final stretch goals for Lavi and Parker!
Thank you to backers for sticking around to support the project through all the ups and downs!! We're almost at the finish line with 4 days left! 🎉
Cedar is UNLOCKED! 1 week left!

Hi all!
We're close enough to Cedar's stretch goal that I'm declaring them to be unlocked!
You'll now be able to choose Basil and Cedar as your plush choices on surveys. Up next is Shiloh the opossum at $6,000!
Basil's prototype has also been shipped, so I hope to receive them in a few days!
Real talk— Sadly, based on the current stats for the campaign, I don't think Lavi or Parker will be unlocked :(
I still believe unlocking Shiloh is possible, but we only have a week left so it might be a bit of a stretch. If necessary, I'll check back in with you all about where Shiloh stands within the final 48 hours to see what we can do.
There are all sorts of reasons PharmaPals aren't doing as well as I'd hoped, most of which unfortunately just boil down to
bad timing. For the ones that don't get unlocked, it'll be possible to run another campaign to unlock them in the future. But for now, it looks like I'll need to narrow my crowdfunding projects solely to Patchkins and pin events. Backerkit is my main source of income as a disabled artist, so I need to narrow my focus to what helps provide for my family the most.
For those of you who have already pledged to get us this far— Thank you 💜Your support is greatly appreciated, especially in these rough economic times. I can't wait to get these guys made and sent out to you all to provide a bit of mail day serotonin :)
EDIT: I've added a pledge level for 2 plush! You're also able to add as many more plush as you'd like through the Add-Ons during checkout! :)
Final Prototype! Lowered Stretch Goals! Oh My!

Hey all! First thing's first...
Final Prototype— Basil
This Basil prototype still needs to replace the ribbon with nylon rope, but they are finalized! Once the rope revision is made, they'll be shipped to me for final photos and measurements :D
Lowered Stretch Goals
With Basil's finished prototype, I was finally able to get an accurate quote for production, which is (expectedly, but thankfully) MUCH lower than my estimate! Which means... ALL stretch goals have been lowered!
So as of now, we're less than $500 until Cedar unlocks! 🎉
Thank you all! 💜
