Latest Updates from Our Project:

The BOOK LOVER Kit is here! + Cross-Collab
about 1 month ago – Tue, Feb 03, 2026 at 11:29:45 AM

Hello! I hope everyone's week has started well.

NEW PIN KIT

I finally and happily finished the Book Lover Kit! Thank you everyone who supported it because reading books is actually my favorite past-time. After weeks of study I learned that cats love to read the most. However they are sus on all subjects and anyone getting too close to their books. We've got what looks like a cluttered stack of books on a desk as well as some plants to remind you to go touch some grass! The cat's emotions comes from artwork of Sussy cat whom is always sus about everything. 

My favorite cat from this series is the one with the pencil. He needs to think hard about whether licking butt or writing his Four Paws book is the most important.


I've gone ahead and updated my page and graphics. I added a 4 Kit Pledge Level if you want all 4 or just want more. There's a good deal to save money on! Also, the extra pins are now available at all mini pin pledges and add-ons. You can always adjust your pledges and add-ons until the campaign is finished.

CROSS-COLLAB

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned, but I've been doing another cross-collaboration this run with my friend Shelly and her amazing plush campaign, Mint Chocoturtle & Pals Plush. She has 2 mini keychain plush and pins unlocked of sea turtles dressed up like desserts. If you back both of our projects you'll receive a free mini pin from each of us. She made a Baby Pudu (he looks adorable on my Forest Kit) and I made an Axolotl Ice Cream Cone.

Have a great week and as always, Thank You!

What's coming and new changes!
about 2 months ago – Mon, Jan 26, 2026 at 02:37:50 PM

Hey everyone,

I had planned to send an email earlier but sometimes you wake up very sick. The flu can be so mean! Luckily it's much better today with a little sore throat and tiredness. I'm going back under my warm covers to take a nap next. 🥱


Thank you to everyone who left notes to the last update where I asked if there was any interest to put out more goals for a Bear Tea Party or Book Lover kit. Most wrote both though there were slightly more for the Book kit. With me having work, I may only have the time for that one. The goal will already be unlocked since there are more then enough funds if it was there from the beginning! Still so grateful...

If I do end up only having time to finish the books, I'd still love to make mini pins based on bear tea party desserts because animals+foods combined are my passion. I felt stuck on sketch phase for the tea party and did the Hot Pot first. However, I did finish a Beary Strawberry Sandwich. No way I want to toss this out. I'd love to add a few more. A roll cake, a macaron... suggestions welcome as I'd love to design 4.

CHANGES

I also read all the notes regarding being able to choose which mini pins you'd like instead of them being in a set. I'm still going to leave the 2 designated mini pins within the kit. They were always meant to be together and the extra mini pins was something I decided on later since I love making mini pins. So the Forest will still have the Frog and Squirrel, the Hot Pot the Shrimp and Dumpling and the Magic Forest the Mushroom and Magician. HOWEVER... I did decide to break up the duos. You no longer have to get the duo set if you wanted several but from different sets. This means I added more pledges for 1-6 mini pins which I'm happy to let you know will get you deals the more you get. I also added a 1 mini pin Add-On and the 2 mini pin Add-On is still there since 65 people had already pledged for it. Now you can choose! These new mini pin pledges are just for the 6 extra mini pins outside the set and if I add the Book Lover and Bear Tea Party extra mini pins. Graphics and wording have been updated on the page for this new change.

Thank you as always and I hope everyone has a great week, 🥰

We UNLOCKED all goals!!
about 2 months ago – Fri, Jan 23, 2026 at 02:22:22 PM

Thank you so much to everyone who believed in me and my silly pin idea! 💕

I can't believe everything was unlocked in just over 24 hours. 😲 I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. 

All of these babies are up for grabs now. And there is less then 24 hours if you still want to grab the FREE Early Bird pin.



Is there any interest in adding other Scene Kits? I had planned to make 2 others but ran out of time. And to be honest, I wasn't even sure I'd unlock the 3 above. I had started a Tea Party kit with a bear theme that included all sorts of desserts. There was also a Book Lover kit with a large open book, stacks, quills and bookmarks. Let me know what you think below. I'll try to sketch out what I had in mind to give you a better idea.

Thank you again and have a lovely weekend everyone 🥰

A Day Away + New Pins
about 2 months ago – Wed, Jan 21, 2026 at 08:01:56 AM

Hey everyone!

Can you believe that in 24 hours my campaign will launch? It feels like I've been working on this journey forever and I'm so happy to finally release it.

I've been having fun taking photos of scenes you can make with the pins with both mine and other artist's. I especially like that you can use any mini pin already in your collection to create a scene. Thank you to Thousandskies and Sarah for letting me use their pins for samples.


I also wanted to show off the last pin kit I have scheduled for launch. The Magic Forest Kit comes with a magical forest full of mushroom houses and many plants and fences. The kit comes with magical spirit mini pins to collect. And OF COURSE, I had to shove as much glow-in-the-dark enamel for this one as I could. It's not a magical forest if there weren't glowy things all around :P 

Please keep an eye out on all my socials for the project launch on January 22nd @10am PST. I have a lot of posts up already including videos HERE ON BLUESKY. You'll see how the pins work!

There's still time to sign up for pre-launch to receive a free sticker. I hope I to see some of you there for opening day! You'll get a free mini pin in the first 48 hours.

Make a Scene launches in 8 days!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Jan 14, 2026 at 01:09:17 PM

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!

I've had this idea of making stacking mini pins onto larger background pins stewing in my head forever so I'm happy to finally announce it's becoming real in just over a week.

If you've already followed my campaign, thank you so much, I really appreciate it. You already qualify for the free sticker if you make a pledge! And if you make the pledge within the first 48 hours, you'll also receive a FREE silly forg mini pin too! These frogs might look silly but they are non-apologetic about their looks.

PROJECT INCENTIVES





The first goal is a Forest Kit that includes an XL scene pin and 2 mini pins to move around to whichever holes you'd like. Extra mini pins that fit the theme will also be available but the great part is you can use any mini pins (or pins) you own!



NEW UPDATE!

I've received samples of the Forest set from my manufacturer a few days ago. I wanted to be double sure that everything will work correctly. Yesterday I took some photos (on a stump with flowers hehe) to show off some of the poses you can make. The quality and colors look amazing! The only changes I'll be making is making the holes smaller so they look even more 'hidden' (I found out my manufacturer can handle doing this) and removing one redundant hole (not shown because it's under the frog and squirrel both times).


Please go check out my Launch Page as there is more info like the pledge levels and the next scene kit: The HOTPOT! More scenes will become revealed soon.


Have a great week and thank you all :)
