Got a lot of follows overnight. For the new people here, I'm Neil. I run the Montgomery-Ramsay jewellery brand and am also its lead designer.
I post a lot of pictures of cats (we take care of a small feral colony here), trees, some jewellery, and the like.
I rant now and again.
Welcome! :)

Broke a gem. Damaged a piece. I am not going to have anything to launch at ALL at this rate. Just out several thousand bucks and a year's worth of time.
Memory chip in the NAS died. Will cost $80 to replace it.
Still haven't heard test results for my sick cat. I am so fucking done with this year

These are stupidly labour intensive. And with FedEx losing one pair and me losing one of another pair, they're going to be a rather limited release in the launch. But they are awfully pretty. I wish I didn't like how they looked so much. I'd just skip them.

Our business will be essentially down all day because Comcast is taking us offline ALL day for ‘upgrades’ to their network. Not in a standard maintenance window. Middle of the business day. What kind of idiots run that place? @comcastbusiness.bsky.social ?

So... we don't have Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales. We don't, in fact, have sales. Our price is our price. But if you're looking for jewellery for a gift or for yourself, I'd love if you gave us a look. Or a share. Or just a wink and a nod. It's been... a year...

So... Arya's got an enlarged spleen. We've no idea why. They took a sample to send off for testing. Won't hear back until at the earliest today (likely tomorrow given the holiday catch-up). So. Now I just fret. She also has an infection from something, so she gets meds twice a day.

All right. I've set 7 gems this morning... only... um... 16 left to go...
Annoyingly, 7 of those are flush set, which take me for EVER.

Thanksgiving dinner at the inlaws’ today. Conversations here are involving topics like how to pack more gold into the same volume by using radioactive isotopes AND the bizarrely high number of alchemical recipes that involve urine…

Lost an earring I was prepping for the launch. Same kind that FedEx lost and refuses to pay insurance for. Batting a thousand on the Geode Earrings so far. At this rate, they're not going to launch.

Funny story... I'm still fighting my NAS to get my data stable since it ate itself after a cache drive failed. Still. This has included wiping it completely and reinstalling everything and restoring data from backup (which took days at USB3 speeds).
Okay... so. Not actually funny. At all. 😑

The outdoor kids got treats ('cause it's Thanksgiving!). I was even able to toss some to Junior, who was hiding, and did not move to take them until i was gone. The indoor kids got foods (and treats... always), and have now run around and around until they are sleepy. It's a proper Thanksgiving.

We're off today. In theory. Although, I seem to be doing a lot of work for someone who's off today...
We shan't be Black Fridaying it up tomorrow, but we'll be back in the shop. Have to get everything ready for the upcoming launch...

Got a lovely note yesterday from a photographer. It was lovely, but it was sad. We used a photo of his for our social media -- picked it up on Unsplash. And then I sent him a tip of $20, which is about what I'd pay for a one-off on iStock. He sent me a note via our contact form on the website 1/9

You know, I used to think Instagram was the bastion of fake lives and 'curated for perfection' statuses. But I'm beginning to think it is simply NOTHING compared to LinkedIn, where everyone's an expert in their field, everyone's a perfect coworker, and all posts sound like a coaching session.
