Latest Updates from Our Project:

🐾❄️ Shiver is complete! 🐾 (+ Molly update)
about 1 year ago – Tue, Feb 18, 2025 at 10:33:58 AM

Hi friends, happy update day!! 💕

I’m excited to show you the finalized sample for Shiver the Snowy Owl Arctic Fox!!


She’s really turned out so perfectly, I couldn’t be happier!!

Molly the Mourning Dove Bunny is coming along beautifully, too!


She is sooo close to perfection- the only thing we need to fix is the placement of her eye embroidery, as you can see here:



We’re still perfecting Zipper, Bailey, and Pip- I’ll be sure to show you guys as soon as I can! I’ve decided that surveys will be locked 2/28. If you change your mind after that date- worry not! You’ll be able to contact me via email ([email protected]) to make changes to your selections if need be. I know many of you are still undecided since we’ve yet to see Bailey and Pip finalized, but this felt like a good compromise to me! 💖

Thanks again for your support! You’ll receive an email notice 48 hours before surveys are locked, giving you a couple days to review and finalize your choices.

It’s hard to wait for sample news to come in, so I’m keeping busy with working on upcoming projects and handing out with my sweet puppy, Kazoo! How have you been keeping busy this winter?

Sample WIPs + survey corrections! 💙🩶🩷

Howdy friends!! Its update day!! 🎉🌟

First of all, I wanted to acknowledge that there were two remaining issues with the “pack of five stickers” add-on that have now been resolved:
  1. On some questions there were images that mixed up the Daffodil and Remi sticker designs. That is now fixed! If you chose either sticker on one of the impacted questions worry not- you will get BOTH stickers both as my little apology and to make sure you got the design you wanted 💖
  2. When adding a pack of five stickers via your post-campaign survey, some questions only let you choose 1-7 out of the 9 total designs. This has been corrected AND everyone affected will receive a surprise bonus sticker!

If you were impacted by either issue you can go and make corrections to your survey if you need to! Making changes will not remove your apology bonus :D thanks for all of your patience on this- I wanted to make things right so I took some extra time to make absolutely sure!

I’ve also got plush progress to show for Bailey and Pip!
Here’s a sneak peek:



They’re looking so great! I included my notes on needed modifications so you guys can get an idea of the direction these plush are moving in. I especially love how cute Bailey’s colors look all together <3 I adore that shade of blue!

Since Pip the Pigeon Kitty is still at a very rudimentary stage, I’ve decided to move the survey deadline to Friday 2/22!

Surveys + Patreon 🌈💌

Hi friends- surveys are now live! You can now select your plush, stickers, etc and purchase any additional add-ons that you’d like 💕 there have been a few questions, so I’m gonna address those here ^^

Having trouble? You can reach me at [email protected] or contact backer support!

I did have some people run into issues, so I made a few fixes:
  1. ALL 9 sticker designs should now be selectable (some questions only showed options 1-7)
  2. Missing images for plush options on some questions have been added
  3. Bandana options graphic has been added where it was missing for pledge levels including multiple bandanas

If you ran into any of these issues while filling out your survey, you can go back and make changes until 2/14!



I have also heard from many Pip and Bailey fans that they’d like to see prototypes before making their choices- we should have Works-In-Progress in the coming days! My manufacturing partner has been closed for the Lunar New Year holiday and will be returning this week.

We probably won’t have final samples for Pip and Bailey before the survey’s soft deadline on 2/14, but if we don’t at least have samples that are close/give a clear idea of what the final plush will look like I will extend the deadline!

It’s worth noting that once the survey deadline has passed you won’t be able to cancel or remove any items, but if you’d like to ADD additional plush or add-ons you’ll be able to contact me to do so! 💕


I’d also like to announce that I’m now on Patreon!

I’ve got more exciting ideas for future projects, but the overhead costs for prototypes adds up fast. 😅 you can help me make even more plush and other projects a reality with a small monthly donation!

you’ll also gain access to exclusive content (I’ve got concepts for the next plush series I’d like to make posted ;D) and even exclusive monthly stickers if you choose to support me at the “sticker club” tier!

Here is February’s sticker club design:

✨ Bandana Accessories + Preorder Shop!! ✨💫
about 1 year ago – Mon, Jan 20, 2025 at 01:18:28 PM

Happy update day!! We unlocked Pip at $12,000 on our final funding day last week, but we also unlocked a special surprise: bandana accessories!!!


These are handmade by my wonderful partner, and expertly finished with a solid lining, rolled seam, and snaps for closure.

We chose a print to compliment each Pawdubon Pal! You can get your favorite pal’s signature design or mix and match💕



Which is your favorite? I can’t wait to get the rest of the samples in so we can get photos of them all dressed up 🥰

You can purchase a bandana accessory as an add-on when you fill out your survey! Those will be sent out Friday, January 31st. 

They are also available via the Pawdubons Preorder Shop- plush and coloring books can also be purchased here for anyone who missed out on the campaign 💕

Shiver is turning out wonderfully! I’m going to lower the tail and make some changes to the paw and ear embroidery, but otherwise she’s ready to go!

that’s a wrap! 💜💚 + PIP UNLOCKED!🐦

Funding for the Pawdubons Campaign has concluded- hooray!


Thank you all so much!! The last couple hours of the campaign and that crazy overtime party absolutely filled my heart 💖 in that last overtime hour we raised enough to meet our final stretch goal…

…therefore Pip the Pigeon Kitty has been unlocked!!



HOORAY!!! this little guy is one of my favorites, so I’m so happy he’ll be made into a plush!

Since we hit $12,000 we’ve also unlocked a special surprise!! it’s not quite ready to show off yet, but I’ll give you a hint: it’s a very stylish add-on!



As fun as this has been, I need a little break! I will be offline this weekend 💕 during the post-campaign, I will be posting updates biweekly on Mondays! Keep an eye out for sample progress and more!
