If only.

These two . . . not a care in the world, and I wish I could be so lucky. If only. And no, that's not Storm on the right; that's Cricket, the feral, and you'd think he was the pup, but he's actually two years older than Sunny. But he loves his big little brother.

Except when there's food, a treat, or private space involved, and then it's all snarls all the time from both of the little monsters. Stormy, on the other hand, just ignores them both and goes on with whatever she's doing, once again proving the inherent wisdom of girls over the ridiculousness of boys.

Beautiful days right now. Terrible days for me health-wise. Nothing to do with the weather; just disease progression and pain and fatigue. But it's making it impossible to get even the most basic stuff done, and I can't afford that right now, even less than usual. The holiday creative season effectively begins on October first, and we will both be running 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, until the end of the year. He also has to finish the last half-dozen or so commissions that are in the works before he can turn his attention to cranking out holiday inventory in any real way. And we need to bring in sales now, both to cover his work building new inventory and simply to meet all the costs of this stupidly expensive year [on top of last year being the same]. If we could just continue to make regular weekly sales, we'd be fine . . . but we need to make those sales now, and so far, that's not happening. There's a lot of gorgeous new work up, but I've got to sell it for it to make any difference. This kind of stress is also not helping my health. I need that to change now, and fast. And to that end, links are here [with the LaminaSaver back on the wishlist, because Miika goes through it at a rapid clip]:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [priority at the moment is more of the LaminaSaver for Miika];
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need this to be a better month than what we've had so far this year.
