I'm ALIVE

2 min read
Not gonna lie, I've totally been avoiding dA just because it's another thing on my plate that I did not want to deal with @_@
The past few months have been pretty much the following
  • financial disaster
  • con prep
  • trying to catch up with orders that went overdue during con prep
  • con prep again!
  • FINANCIAL DISASTER AGAIN!
  • trying to catch up with orders that went overdue during con prep... this time with no money for fabric and no time to take new orders
So... well, I haven't been very available, Daymare's been worn down trying to keep in contact with people who are still waiting on orders, it's been a big ol' mess.  I'm not usually this straightforward about our BIDNIS PROBLUMS, but I feel like this has been a major enough setback that it's worth just being upfront about.  We're kinda in the red right now!  Our last convention brought in about $-750 when we were really riding on covering costs at the very least.

We are on our way to getting caught up though- the only overdue orders I have at the moment are the silver foxes, which I have fabric coming for in excess this week.  After those I have about a week's worth of orders to finish, and then in an effort to make back losses we'll be releasing some new designs and, possibly, opening commissions towards the end of the month C:
I believe I've said this in a previous journal, but Folly HQ will be moving towards the end of the year, so over the summer we'll really be pushing to get as much done as possible!  So I'm looking forward to working on some fun projects and updating more regularly with new plushies once I have this current backlog taken care of <3
Thanks so much for stickin' with us, guys!  Your support means the worllddddd!

We're at table #1111 and will have a very respectable assortment of narwhals & snow bunnies, as well as some Pokemon goodies and probably some other stuff?!  YAY!  So hopefully we'll catch a few of you in Orlando next weekend! <3


Once the con is over I'm pretty much free until AWA.  Pheeewww!  I've been really inactive and I'm super sorry and I will totally try to catch up with messages and notes and comments and such in the next few days!!  YEAH!!!  We're moving HQ this fall/winterish, so in an effort to get ready for that the whole summer will be 100% dedicated to online store stuff, commissions and working on new products.  I'm looking forward to it~!

Sloooowly, but surely!
We had a HUGE backlog of orders last month, so I've been really busy getting that thinned out (my to-do list is finally less than three pages long!  I'm so happy!).  That's why things have been really slow around here!  Now that things are a little less GO GO GO, I'm gonna do my best to get back into posting regularly :>
In other news!  We'll be at No Brand Con in Eau Claire this month (24-26) and Omni Expo in Orlando next month (22-24), hopefully we'll see some of you there! <3

Shop Updates!

I'll be on vacation for two weeks in February, so from the 12th to the 26th I won't be able to complete or ship any orders!  Once I figure out what my schedule looks like I'll update wait times so that people know whether this will affect their orders or not, but I thought I'd let you guys know ahead of time- at this point, I can almost-definitely fill any orders placed within the next couple days, so if you need something for Valentine's Day (or just don't wanna wait two weeks) you're best off ordering asap!

Speaking of Valentine's Day, we've reached the point where domestic orders will need to be rushed slightly if you want it before the 14th- international orders probably won't make it at all, unfortunately 8( so if you're shopping for someone special and need your order by the 14th, please send a message ahead of time so we can confirm whether we can actually meet the deadline <3 thank you!

You guys know the deal!  Limited slots, shop will close for a little bit while I take the Pokemon and MLP products down once they're full!
Because the holiday shipping rush has resulted in reaaalllllyyyy sloooowwww fabric delivery times, our production wait estimate has been extended to 3-4 weeks.  Please keep this in mind when ordering~!
THANK YOU!!!
