A change in the air.

Corona around the moon last night; a change in the air today. They say snow is possible, and now it's finally starting to look like it. We'll see.

Awaiting a delivery today, apparently, one that has to come to the house. I have red chile lamb chorizo posole in the crock pot, and a to-do list that seemingly has no end, which means that while the former is mostly self-sustaining, I need to get moving on the latter.

Those two new pieces I mentioned Monday night are both up at NDN Silver post finally, and they are gorgeous; you can see them here and here. And besides, I'm back into sales mode, because the IRS is going to want its thieving share shortly and this is our most expensive month of the year anyway (followed very closely by July, and that's not even counting April, which is tax month, in this). So while we had a far better holiday sales season than I could ever have hoped, we still have to keep the cycle going. This is our livelihood, after all, and there's a lot of expense ahead, medical and otherwise (and this has to be the year the drill the well because there's no other option at this point; "first thing," indeed). It's a twelve-hundred-year drought, and it's killing everything.

So, as always, it comes back to that: more sales. A lot more, because we have two years' worth of a shattered pandemic economy to make up for, by which I mean we need to gain more ground ourselves financially to be able to be sure of making it through the winter and the rest of the year. I've posted a ton of Wings's new work lately, and there will be more in the days and weeks to come, plus two brand new works later todayIf I could sell one of the big works, like the belt, maybe I could get us on the drill list for the well that is the only thing that's going to keep this land alive. But I've got way too much to do and too few hours and other resources to do it. Which means that I'll be stepping back significantly in terms of my online presence, because there's just too much else to do, and I am no longer well enough to maintain the kind of pace I once did.

So, since we have to continue to make sales, links are here, and there's new work up today, with more to come this week:
  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the ladders);
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

And if you've been contemplating a purchase? This would be a very, very good time to do it; I've got to cover all this staggering outlay somehow and get us through twelve whole months of a new year, plus put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring. And there's lots of fabulous new work, so please share all of the links.
