For the moment, winter is here.

That was three or four hours ago. Now, it's settled into a steady, soaking rain.

And it's cold. There'll be snow on the peaks (probably already is, in fact; we just can't see them behind the clouds). For the moment, winter is here.

Meanwhile, there's so much work to be done on every front; so much that lies ahead of us these next three months. And Wings needs to be creating more for holiday inventory, but as I've said, he needs to be able to stock up on silver for for that, and with it having tripled in cost just this year, I don't know how we manage it. So I'm doing my usual juggling act, trying to make everything work with too few resources. I need to get the clouds building on the sales front, too, and make it rain (or snow, as probably more likely the case in the weeks to come). The need for silver just became urgent.

As I said yesterday, there's a new and absolutely incredible necklace coming, probably late today. I also posted five new works by Wings a few nights ago, here, and four remain available (the iolite ring is sold), plus another new cuff Monday, here. They're all amazing, so go look, share, buy if you're in the market. [If I could sell them all? I could get the remaining bills off my desk, and set some aside for the silver he needs, too.] All the other links are here; please, share them too:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priority is first and foremost, the other ladder and the wheelbarrow);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before late next year at the earliest, and this year's tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
