Still sneezy.

Yup. Still sneezy.

No hard freeze predicted at all in the half-month forecast, which means the earliest we'll feel human again is the last week of this month. Unless, of course, that supposed Arctic blast forecast for next week from the West Coast actually comes to pass. 

At this point, we can only hope. I'd like to have my eyes and my sinuses and my airway back, thanks.

Fortunately, most of my work is indoors, but I still have to venture out to the studio multiple times a day, and occasionally to the post office for shipping, etc. [and the highway edges and surrounding fields are full of that ragwort nonsense now]. For now, I'm hoping not to have to go anywhere else until the end of the week. That should also free me up to push sales, because for all practical purposes, our holiday creative season has to be under way now.

Yeah, I know. We hate it, too. I'm so tired after all the nonsense of this year to date, but I can't let up, because so far, we're not even breaking even on the year, and I will have to worry about next year's tax bill soon enough. I need to bring in at least on sale this week, preferably two or even three. And Spirit knows he's got a ton of new work up on the site:

• Completed just two days ago, two absolutely phenomenal new cuffs, here and here;
• Completed last weekend, an all-new wristband, here;
• One extraordinary new belt buckle set with an incredible Skystone, here;
• Another new vintage-style cuff with a mysterious Skystone, here;
• Three new pairs of earrings in his gemstone-bead series, here, here, and here;
• Three new cuffs from last week, two set with incredible turquoise focals, one solid silver; go here, here, and here.
• Six pairs of new concha floral earrings in the Earrings Gallery here [larger are garnet, golden rutilated quartz, and malachite; smaller are amber, carnelian, and iolite];
• Art Deco Labradorite cuff here;  
• Triangle wire youth bangle here; 
• Art Nouveau vine pattern-wire youth bangle here; 
• Small Art Nouveau pattern-wire bangle pair here; 
• Malachite butterfly/leaf-wing earrings here; 
• A big solid silver classic cuff here; 
• Ten new pairs of the gemstone-bead earrings are also up in the Earrings Gallery;
• And another new cuff is also here. 

There's more on the way very soon. And I need to sell them all, because I still need to make multiple sales daily for us to catch up on the year [and that's just breaking even] and cover all the stuff still in the pipeline that needs covering [roof, more medical, etc.]. So: GO BUY! PLEASE! Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (Amazon cards are probably most useful at this point); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year, this one already far worse than the last, we really need to get what's left of 2024 onto a better footing, so please share all of the links.
