It's a lot.

Settings for the new earrings. He's got three pairs at or beyond this point: the two Willow Creek pairs and the Picasso jasper pair. The two Red Creek pairs will come after that. 

It's a lot. And there hasn't been much time for him to get into the studio this week, unfortunately.  Anything done by Monday can ship Priority Monday, and it MIGHT get there by Wednesday evening. [There's always Express, but that's hellishly expensive for the client; we ship Priority as a matter of course.]

And tomorrow will be more chaos. Hell, so was today; I spent the day assembling two different things [not Christmas stuff; equipment], and aside from making me late getting to everything else, I hurt all over. The pace is killing us both, but that's what it's like this time of year. Looking forward to being able to breathe again in a few weeks; I just wish we could have snow with it.

We were blessed with a really good sale last week, so the pressure to cover immediate things would have been off in a few days when the payment clears, were it not for the thieves that shoved our account into negatives. But even aside from that bullshit, there's still all the rest, all the stuff we couldn't cover all year because of one catastrophe after another, the taxes that still need to be prepaid, all the January bills that will be here before we know it [which include truck insurance and a whole bunch of business-related expenses that come due once a year, but total well into four figures]. So we still need to make the equivalent of a sale a day now, on average. And he has so much new work!  I'm hoping to pull another late night to get five of them up yet. yeah, I know, I shouldn't, 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 [somebody got the vacuum! which makes priorities now the thermos and the rugs];
• 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.
