The Monstrous Order Makes Itself Useful

Katherine just came in and picked out jewelry for her Christmas shopping. All the necklaces she chose are pieces I made over the weekend, and two I made just last night. And just that quickly, I've got a handful of necklaces fewer than I had yesterday and Katherine's knocked out a chunk of her Christmas shopping. Symbiosis is cool.

The only bad part is that a couple of the necklaces she picked are ones that I wanted. Oh well, I've got plenty more where those came from, and a whole strand of dark red faceted pearls I haven't even touched yet. Faceted pearls: more money, but a lot more oomph. Now if only Katherine would stop buying all my faceted pearl necklaces so I could wear one for a change. The count right now, Katherine: 2 - Me: 0. Fortunately, this is a very positive thing to be sad about.
