More work under way.

More work under way. He's been trying to cadge every spare minute in the studio, but there are so many interruptions and derailments, always so much that needs to be done outside. I have the same problem, only mostly indoors, which is why this is as late as it is now.

What he's working on there is a cuff, one that will be set with a trillion-cut cab of fossilized dinosaur bone, and it's going to be magnificent. I also posted those new dancing heart earrings and the new giant sodalite shield cuff already today; with a little luck, I'll also have the photos edited and posted and the description written for the giant Four Sacred Directions necklace, and get that live, too.

It's all absolutely incredible work, and I need to sell all of it. 

I also need this week to be very much better than the last one [last several ones]. It was not off to a promising start; I did not get to sleep until the early hours of this morning, thanks to multiple subluxes in my neck and the attendant agonizing pain they cause. No, nothing works. I just have to wait until exhaustion kicks in sufficiently to let me sleep, so that at least I don't have to be consciously aware of it for a while. My joints are getting very much worse, and it's been a rapid acceleration, so I also have to be concerned about organ damage now.

And on top of everything else I had to do today [all the NDN Silver stuff, including the photography and descriptions; some printing; dishes and laundry and vacuuming and bringing in wood for the stove; getting the chile going for buffalo enchiladas for dinner tonight; running a mechanical problem to ground and then finding the right thing to order for it; on and on and on] I need to chase sales daily. It takes at least one sale a week [sometimes more] just for us to break even on the year, and last year? We didn't even do half that. So now would still be a good time to buy. TONS of new and fabulous work on the site, and tons more on the way, too, including the ones I mentioned up above. But I've got to sell something, for the love of all that's holy. We're already down three sales on the year so far, and that trend CANNOT continue again. I won't survive another awful year like last year. Every day I wake up to pain that was worse than the day before. I also wonder what will happen to us if it gets so bad that I can't even do this every day.

We need sales. We're already down by three on the year, and it's barely begun. Links are here:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (Amazon cards are probably most useful at this point); 
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year, this one far worse than the last, we urgently need to begin 2025 on a better footing before taxes take every cent, so please share all of the links.
