Circus Sweeties

Circus Sweeties are 18'' plushies all inspired by frosted circus cookies. There will be a lineup of many different animals, starting with a cat and a rabbit, and followed by a lion, elephant, and giraffe-- and perhaps, much much more!

Quick Update
22 days ago – Wed, Oct 30, 2024 at 05:32:45 PM

Hello Cookie Crew!


I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that Charmsey Jr. has been a little under the weather the last few days. I managed to get her into the doctor today, and she is okay, but I've been busy dealing with things today.

Honestly, my brain is a little frazzled. I hate when my kiddo gets sick! It's all I can think about. hfhfh

I'm glad it is nothing serious, but I think I'm riding on fumes and like... the aftermath of having been soooo wound up over it!? I don't know if that makes sense.

Writing Contest Update:

Anyway, I am just now getting a chance to sit and decompress. I managed to get everyone uploaded to the google drive, but if you don't see yourself, please email me again! Or you can just reply to your email and it should bump you up in my inbox! I have been really frazzled, so if I missed you-- I apologize. ^^;


Millie!!!!

OMG Millie Maniacs!! We are so close to unlocking our boy!! I think we're going to do it, and I'm like SO EXCITED. I'm already thinking of hair accessories for Series 2 and I'm like... Millie would be the perfect plush to style up!! I'm so excited. I'm bouncing off the walls. We got this!!



I updated our Character Master Post the other day too, but just in case anyone missed it!! Millie is there now. :3c I'm working on one for Remi, too!! 


I'm still working on the stickers of all our underdogs, too! I just don't know if it should be individual stickers or a sticker sheet? Let me know what you think! I've attached a poll.

Thank you in advance for your patience so far. You guys have been so kind. I am so so lucky.

That is all I have for this moment. 

Writing Contest + Millie and Remi!
24 days ago – Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 08:05:28 PM

Hey cookie crew!


I feel like I've been a little bombarding today, so I apologize, but this will be the last one!

The writing contest isn't over yet, but I will announce the winners on October 31st! I'm not sure what time, but I'll make sure to send the update to everyone. I think I need the time to read and re-read haha. It isn't going to be easy. I appreciate the patience in advance! I've been receiving more entries, and I will have them all uploaded by tomorrow. Today has been a little busy! Don't worry if you don't see yourself~ I'm going to honor everyone's entry!

Also, after some thought and discussion, I've decided we're going to have Millie unlock at 85K and Remi will unlock at 100k!



Will we manage to do it? I think we might! I hope so, anyway!! I was impressed and happy to see that Millie was finally getting some love in the polls!

I will be putting together some ads, so we can hopefully at least get that 85k goal! We only have a few days left and I'm going to be really annoying on my social media haha.

So, yeah... we have some things to think about! Please keep in mind that with all the characters we've managed to unlock, the surveys will likely be open for awhile. I won't be closing them until every character has a prototype. I'll do my best to make prototyping go as quick as possible, but I'm at the mercy of the manufacturers. Patience is appreciated in advance!!

You are all so wonderful. Thank you again. I hope everyone had a great Monday. I will talk to you all very soon!!

New Poll! Check it out!!
24 days ago – Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 04:43:45 PM

Hello!! 

We meet again so soon! Heheh. 

I just want to preface this by saying that I know that all of our underdog fans really want to see these cookies make it, and so do I! I don't know what the outcome of this poll will be, but I just hope that all of you will have faith in me when I say that they will exist one way or another. 

I appreciate the love for all of these designs, and as I've mentioned, I love them too, so I'm constantly thinking about how we can make it happen haha.

I am also working on sticker designs for all of our characters that will be available as an add-on! I will be back with an update/teaser of that soon~!

Writing Contest + Possum + Racoon + Frankencookie
25 days ago – Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 02:30:30 PM

Cookie Crew!!! I'm back!!!

Just a reminder, our writing contest ends tonight at 11PM PST!

I worked dilligently going through my inbox, adding everyone to the google drive, but naturally-- I am human, and it is possible I missed your entry! So please go check out the google drive and make sure you are there!

I am absolutely in heaven with all these writing entries. Once again, everyone really delivered and I have no clue what I am going to do haha. All of you are so stinkin' talented!


In other news, we're still waiting on plushie updates, giving me more time to think. I'm adding a poll to this update, because I wanted to add a 100k stretch goal before the end of the campaign. I realize we may not unlock it, but... if we did, I want to see what all of you think should be our unlockable!

I was up a little too late, thinking about racoons and opossums and Frankencookie and I came up with these concepts! 

Again, they're not set in stone. Some things would have to change during the manufacturing process, but... yeah!

I was also thinking, we could have an unlockable outfit that would fit most, if not all, the Circus Sweeties. It wouldn't be our backpack outfit, just a fun outfit to dress up your cookies!

Please check out the poll, and if you have any other ideas for unlockables that you think might excite enough people to get that 100k stretch goal, let me know in the comments!

That is all I got for now. I'll be back soon, though!!! 

Lupin Update + Opossum Concept
28 days ago – Fri, Oct 25, 2024 at 02:16:27 PM

Salutations Cookie Crew!

I went ahead and asked the manufacturer if we could make the darkest part of Lupin's eyes a shade or two darker-- to which they said yes.



I picked out this color! The bad news is that they have to order it. So it is going to be a few days before it gets in. I imagine we'll get another Lupin update sometime mid-next week!

In other news... I've been thinking about an opossum for our next campaign! This is a ROUGHROUGH ROUGH concept. Please be open minded to changes in the future~ I always worry about sharing things too early, because I don't want to disappoint anyone later. I hate disappointing people haha. But, I am excited as a huge opossum fan myself.

I'm thinking the black looks the most opossum-y. I really wanted a cute pink opossum too, but I just feel like they belong in the spooky cookies with our bats and our moths.


I will also be working on more pin/sticker designs. I'd like to get one done for every one of our characters from this main campaign, even our underdogs-- kind of a consolation prize until Series 2!

Thank you again for all of the support. I'm so sad our campaign is almost over, but also super excited because we can pay for the rest of our prototypes and that means we're a step closer to everyone receiving their plushies!

At least we will all still be chatting it up over here. I'll still be giving tons of updates! :3c I apologize to you and your inbox in advance!

Anywhoooozles. I will be back with another update soon! Happy Friday to all my big, wonderful cookie crew!
