One more day.

One more day, and he should have it done. With luck, I'll be able to get photos then and have it up by tomorrow night. For now, you should click on the image above to enlarge it to regular size, so you can truly see the textures and the ultra-fine freehand saw-, score-, stamp- texture-, hammer-, and overlay work. This one is a phenomenon unto itself.  [And yes, it'll be priced accordingly.]

He's also got some simple dangle earrings set with single small stones in the works; three pairs, I think. Those might also be done tomorrow. For once, he was able to get some decent studio time today, despite everything else that has to get done every day around here. Me? Not so much, but whatever. This is more important, provided, of course, that I can get enough time thereafter to get the photos taken, downloaded, edited, uploaded, descriptions written posts sent live, etc., etc. It's a huge amount of work.

Which all just reinforces that there are no holidays. Every day is work. I'd be a lot more enthusiastic about that if I could feel at least minimally decent, but that's not happening right now. I'm basically limited to one type of pain medication, the only that one that both 1) works for me, at least a little, and 2) doesn't actively make me sick, and even that's not working these days. Nope, no MMJ for me. Or even non-M MJ. I can't even get high. My body just reacts horribly to it, and it makes all my autoimmune issues worse.

But I need to get something to work. I'm already under unspeakable pressure this year, never mind the need to make up for the last two terrible ones. Our floor for sales and breaking even is making a minimum of one sale per week for the year, and we're still two weeks in the hole now. I don't have enough hours in the day as it is, and I can't afford what's been happening to me. Regardless of side effects or disease progression, I've got to do something to bring in sales. We need to bring in a lot more, because it's grim. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [priorities are the LaminaSaver, because apparently Miika's out of it again; and the rugs, to replace those destroyed 2 years ago by the leachfield collapse and ensuing septic disaster];
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need to begin this year on a better footing than the last two, and so far, it's been impossibly grim.
