But it's something.

That was this morning, and most of the snow was already gone. That in the field? All gone now. But those clouds stuck around and they've gathered and grown into something that makes snow feel possible again. It's probably possible only for the peaks, but it's something.

So much to do today, and this week has taken so much out of me that I can't even think straight. Yesterday was a hell of an expensive day [and a physically painful one for me, too]:  $250 on our scrips, $200 on propane, $500 on supplies, materials he needed for pieces he has in the works. Which means I need to bring in a smooth $1K in sales to cover all of it, because that's money that had to be taken away from everything that has to be covered the rest of the month.

And yes, I'm beat; no sleep two nights ago, ridiculously long days; an absurd amount of physical labor yesterday and Thursday that required me to push my joints beyond anything they can remotely handle anymore, but there's no one but us to do it, so it had to get done. And now. I'll be up late again, because we need the sales. We're still down by dozens of sales on the year, and numbers too large to contemplate. And after it being such a god-awful year, we literally need to make a sale a day now, on average, and we're nowhere near that. 

He has SO MUCH new work in various stages of the creative process: pendant; necklace and earrings set; two barrette pairs; four pairs of silverwork earrings, something like four each of the gemstone bead necklaces, earrings, and coils. The problem for him is getting enough studio time to finish them all [and then for me, to get them photographed, uploaded, descriptions written, and put out there for sale]. But it has to be done, because the last two years have all but killed us financially, and we're almost out of year. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [priority is the vacuum! mine died two days ago, and we're being suffocated by dog hair];
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly [daily now, really] sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need this to be a better month than what we've had so far this year.
