The haze will be back soon.

The wind shifted overnight, and so despite the wildfires elsewhere in the state expanding fast? Finally, some clarity — here, at least. We also had only a brisk breeze this morning, but that's ramping up into something altogether more ferocious now, so I don't imagine it'll stay very clear for much longer. The haze will be back soon.

At the moment, no chance of getting out from under the pall of this growing pile of expenses, either. The $563 for the tumbler, which, given Wings's work, wasn't something we could delay; now, more than $200 yesterday to replace the battery in the ATV [also something that can't be delayed around here, with the kind of heavy labor required]. Now I'm going to have to shell out a whole hell of a lot more for Web hosting and migrating our site, too; the medical stuff coming up for us both this week; the annual chimney cleaning in 3 weeks; and somehow, some way, I have GOT to put a big chunk on taxes. And I have no way to do any of it.

We've GOT to make sales now.  Desperately.

I've put up a bunch of new work lately:  new earrings, here, here, here [already sold!], and here [these are my personal favorites]; a new pendant up here now [it's amazing]; a new ring here; the three items in the new Northern Lights gemstone bead trio here, here, and here [some stones glow in new colors under UV light!]; and two new cuffs in the works, one turquoise [fabulous, and possibly available tonight], and one millwork with an extraordinary [and OLD] sugilite-mix cab. And as always, all the regular links are listed below, with sales, as always, being the most important:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (Apparently the FlexTape is the priority now, so I'm told; otherwise, Amazon cards are most important now, because they go to buy things we can't get locally, like the masks and the protein mixes for Wings and GF stuff for me and all the cleaning and other household products that people in cities can get but we can't; and also the filters for the air purifiers, because we have only one left and the amount of dust and dirt they take in in these winds is indescribable); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim 2023, and with this year starting off MUCH worse (and given that we're already approaching the half-way mark), we really need to get 2024 onto a better footing, so please share all of the links.
