No luck yet.

Looks like November out there. Now, if only we could get the snow.

No luck yet.

The forecast might turn out to be nothing, at the rate things are going. It's cold, it's gray, the clouds are coming down over the peaks, and . . . nothing. 

Everything is deadly dry here. In addition to someone setting the out-of-state millionaire colonizer Starbucks-under-construction on fire for the second time this last week [and no, I don't actually care; we don't need another one here], we've also had two different families on opposite ends of the county lose their homes to fires [now, them I do care about]. Things are terrible here. And everywhere.

For us, too. Nothing I do is working when it comes to sales. I need to bring in at least $1,500 worth to cover things I know are coming down the pike in the next week+, and I'm getting nowhere. I have Wings's latest pair of earrings up, here, and they're more moderately priced than a lot of his work; selling those would be a start. If all goes well, I'll have a second pair, with stones and somewhat more costly, up later today. But even that would be only a start. I've got to do better, but how?

It's been a terrible year on virtually every front, and now, nearing the end, I'm afraid we actually might not make it.

We have to make up a LOT of ground financially over the next two+ months. A LOT. This year has been so slow that we're way behind on everything, including prepaying next year's taxes [that's a zero; a big fat zero]. I need to bring in at least one sale a week, preferably two, for the remainder of the year. And it's clear that my illness's progression means that I cannot maintain the pace or workload I have in years past. That means that we need help with shares, and with testimonials, too. If you have some of Wings's work and are willing to have a testimonial published on the site, send it to me via the Contact form (we will list you however you wish, by name, name and initial, initials only, some other way that doesn't identify you; you can see an example in our newest, here, and with luck, I'll have a second one up by tonight). All the links are listed below, so please share:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (liquid soaps are priority now [or Amazon cards, and I can order them myself]); 
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

There's lots of fabulous work on the site, and there will be much, much more in the weeks to come. The way this year has gone, things will still be grim for a good while and the holidays will be here before you know it, so please share all of the links.
