I wish I could be so unbothered by everything.

Big storm last night — only a small shower of rain, but gale-force winds and heavy lightning. Those little beings were completely unbothered through it all, continuing to gorge themselves on nectar even through the worst of it.

Now, the wind is up again, blowing dust everywhere, and once again, they're ignoring ti completely.

I wish I could be so unbothered by everything.

But the world we inhabit is a bit different, and I don't have that option. I've managed to get two big things paid this week; we have to pay a third big one next Monday. If I could make one more sale this week, I'd feel a lot better about all of it, because there are just too many demands on us, and not enough coming in to cover it, especially with my Patreon down by a few hundred a month. As I've been saying, there's a lot of new work on the site: The other day, I posted Wings's six new works (2 rings; 4 pairs of earrings [one of which is sold]); all items share the same price point, $425 each. And, of course, there are the new gemstone bead trios, other work. Later today, I will have the new cuff posted, the one I showed here yesterday; selling that alone would do a lot right now. Sales have been terribly slow all year, and now we are quite literally at the point of not being able to make it, never mind the dental stuff (he's unilaterally decided to push that back yet again). I don't have any way to solve that outside of making sales, so I'm begging folks, please: All the links are listed below, so please share:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (apparently the sponges are unavilable, but the other two things I need that I can't get here are the Bar Keeper's Friend coffeemaker cleaner and descaler; we're entirely out of both); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

There's lots of fabulous work on the site, and things are grim here, so please share all of the links.
