Mini/Keychain Plush ❓🪺
about 1 month ago – Sat, Jan 04, 2025 at 02:35:50 PM

I’ve been in talks with a few manufacturers regarding mini/keychain plush, so I wanted to gauge interest.

Here are some designs I came up with!


Red and White Breasted Nuthatches are some of my favorite local birds. I have a pair of reds that frequents my feeders and their call is so cute 🥰 it reminds me of a silly, nasally laugh.



Depending on cost I may be able to make at least one of them an add-on option if there is enough interest

What are your thoughts on these guys? Are there any other small bird species you’d like to see?

Mourning Dove Bunny sneak peek + Backer’s Choice Poll!🎉
about 1 month ago – Fri, Jan 03, 2025 at 12:46:29 PM

Hi friends, I hope you’re well!

I’ve received the first sample photos for our sponsored Mourning Dove Bunny plush, Molly! (Her sponsor suggested the name, and I think it suits her so perfectly ❤️) We have lots to improve on this design before I show it off, but here’s a sneak peek. She’s already so cute!!

This lovely gal will also have features that utilize a faux “rabbit fur” fabric for extra fluff.

We’re still working our way towards $6,000, but I’m extra excited to unlock Maggie and Daffodil because that’ll mean it’s time to vote on our next stretch goal!



Here is my list of potential designs so far:
  • ??? the Chickadee Puppy
  • Bailey the Blue Jay Kitty
  • Carmen the Cardinal Puppy
  • Bluebell the Bluebird Kitty
  • Pip the Pigeon Kitty
  • Chai the Snow Bunting Pup
  • ??? the Snowy Owl Arctic Fox

Who are you hoping to see in plush form? 🧸

I would also love to create plush for Honey the Hummingbird Lynx and some small nuthatch inspired friends. I am considering having them as smaller, keychain sized pals though. What do you think?

Keep an eye out for the backer’s choice poll- I’ll post it as soon as we reach 6k! Sharing the campaign on social media is a great way to help us meet our goal. I am beyond grateful for all of your support!!!

Plush Feature: Maggie 🖤☁️
about 1 month ago – Wed, Jan 01, 2025 at 02:11:37 PM

We are quickly closing in on our next funding goal- at $6,000 we’ll be unlocking BOTH Maggie and Daffodil!



We were originally only going to unlock Daffodil at this stretch goal, but over the course of creating these plush Maggie has become very special to me. It felt only right to personal fund her once we hit the $6,000 goal <3

When creating a design inspired by a Black Billed Magpie, a Border Collie felt like the perfect dog breed to work with! As the plush came to life I noticed that she was starting to resemble my childhood dog- a Border Collie mix named Tonka.



Tonka was an amazing part of my childhood, and I’m so happy that I got to grow up with his love and his energy! Maggie’s forehead marking, ear shape, and cheek fluff were all pieces that challenged me, and drawing inspiration from Tonka pulled it all together for me.



Since I received the plush samples, Maggie has become a new comfort plush for me. I’m so excited for you Maggie fans to get to enjoy her too 🖤🖤🖤

We are just $348 away from officially unlocking Maggie and Daffodil AND voting on our first backer’s choice goal!!! Let’s keep going strong into the new year 🥰

Thank you all so much again for the support on my very first plush project, and have a wonderful new year.

18 days left!

I just wanted to let you know that the campaigns end date has been updated to January 17!

This gives us a few days less to meet our stretch goals, but due to my birthday at the end of the month this is going to help me get surveys and orders rolling before I take a little break 😅



I’m in the finishing stages of the Pawdubons coloring book! Though I’m still testing out a few styles for adding markings to the birds and Pawdubon creatures. I want to make sure they stay true to their species but also keep as much freedom as possible, so I’ve been printing out some pages to test out myself.

I can’t wait to get some proofs ordered soon!!! Did you pledge for a coloring book? Are there any bird species you’re hoping to see?


💛We are getting very close to our next stretch goal!!!🖤

We’re a little over $800 in funding away from unlocking TWO new plush designs- Daffodil and Maggie! Once we do it’ll be time to choose our next stretch goal. I can’t wait to see what you all choose!

So far it seems like the Cardinal kitty, the Blue jay kitty, and the Pigeon kitty are the most popular choices. If there are any other creatures you’d like to vote for, now’s the time to let me know and spread the word!!! (I’m putting in my vote for the Chickadee puppy myself 🖤)
