What's coming.

The colors are off, at least as they render here; too much low light coming into the studio, washing out the bluer shades. But this is [part of] what's coming, earring pairs here, and they're all amazing: blue lace agate; seraphinite; porcelain jasper; old and spectacular beautiful tiger's eye; what might be tree agate, or a decidedly nonorbicular pair of ocean jasper cabs; #8 turquoise; Hubei turquoise; Brazilian turquoise; and 3 extraordinary pairs of Hubei turquoise from, obviously, a very different deposit. He also has the chiastolite link bracelet still in the works, several gemstone-bead items, and a collection of alterations/repairs for a friend as well as a few commission in the early design stages.

There are just never enough hours in the day. Not for him; not for me. 

I had thought I might feel a bit better today, but no. Especially not in the last hour or so; I'm suddenly feeling spectacularly lousy, with nothing triggering it. And the worst part is that there's nothing I can do about it, now that our doctor's office closed without any notice Friday, and we had to find out when we drove across town for our appointments. 

And I can't be this sick. I mean, I can't. I've got too much to do every damn day as it is. And I've still got to bring in a lot more sales through the end of the year. This year has been hellishly expensive already, and we've also got a couple of other big-ticket things to take care of this month, and that only happens if we make some sales now. And we can still use help with shares, testimonials, wishlist stuff I can't get to yet, etc. To that end, links are here:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here [I'll be adding some new items soon, things we could really use but that I can't justify spending money on right now, like some sheets and towels];
  • 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 get this year onto a better footing than the last two, a year that, so far, has been very grim.
