I want to share my pony crafts with the West Coast brony fandom and bring smiles to a whole new set of fans!
UPDATE! New Stretch Goals:
$1500 - I will purchase an embroidery machine. This will now cut out the cost of ordering "patch style" cutie marks and will also allow me to custom design cutie marks for OCs.
$2000 - 2013 Convention booking. Artist Alley tables fill up fast and have to be booked and paid for months in advance. A few more pledges and I will be able to register for even more conventions in 2013 and bring plushies to your neighborhood!
THE PLAN
EquestriaLA is on November 3rd in Anaheim and I would love to attend and bring my ponies to the West Coast so more fans of the show will have access to affordable plushies.
THE REASON
Most plushie sellers charge hundreds of dollars for their toys. I am not here to argue their value as many of them are very well made. I have, however, created a simpler design and managed to cut costs which make my huggable mini ponies more affordable for all bronies. Unfortunately, many people do not have PayPal or checking accounts at their disposal. So I would like to bring this store on the road for one weekend to make hundreds of fans happy.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
By donating what you can to help fund the cost of a plane ticket and hotel stay. I have already purchased a table and entrance ticket for the bronypalooza but need an extra boost from my fans to afford the rest. If you cannot give, don't worry! You can still spread the word to your friends and fellow bronies.
MY PROMISE
I will deliver on all promised merchandise as fast as humanly possible! I will only use the raised money on business and travel expenses. I will be forever grateful to each and every one of you who believed in my company.
In the Spirit of Friendship, Thank you!

FAQ
-
Bear in mind that for the project to succeed and be funded, I need to reach the goal by October 1st. IF that occurs, then all rewards will be crafted immediately following the convention in November. FRIENDSHIP and CMC tier rewards will be mailed within 1 week of receiving your mailing address. All Plushie tiers will be mailed by December 15th, 2012.
-
No. Kickstarter works by allowing people to pledge, just like a marathon or telethon. You do not pay until I reach my goal on October 1st. So you still have time to raise the money pledged.
