Lego has a program called CUUSOO where fans can create and submit Lego build ideas and through a long and lengthy voting and vetting process, some of those fan-inspired creations can become actual Lego sets. Most recently, on August 1st, Lego released their much anticipated Back to the Future Lego DeLorean Time Machine. I am…

And There Went July
So…yeah. Another month [nearly] gone and only a lone entry thus far to mark it’s passage. That’s just sad. I’ve been meaning to write an entry for like two weeks now but it never seems like I have the time. Plus, summers are dull in Florida; all the locals hibernate from the sweltering heat and…

More Kitten Cuteness
There’s no such thing as too many pics of an adorable kitten. So have two more of little Ginger. My computer desk is next to a window. I have a curtain up blocking most of it because the sun comes in through that window in the mornings and makes things very bright. But I leave…
Daily Dose of Cute
No time for a real entry, but I’m bribing you into not being mad with a kitten photo. Because kittens are adorable and I’m totally using Ginger’s cuteness to distract you from the lack of actual updates or content. Everyone with me now…. “aw….” 😉
Limited Edition Summer Collection of Fantasy and SciFi Full Moon Trees
I work so much in the realistic, I decided instead to make a collection of whimsical, Sci Fi / Fantasy-inspired full moon trees instead. I wanted pieces that were dream-like, or could be found on another planet, or maybe in some deep corner of Faerie. All of them use bright, bold, vivid colors. The aqua…
And So It’s June
Goodness, I’ve been trying to get around to writing an entry for like a week now and it just hasn’t happened! I can’t believe how long it keeps winding up in between entries lately! So please excuse the brain dump of topics this entry will likely cover as a result. Cold So my cold/flu/plague which…
So…What’s New?
I’ve unintentionally taken awhile to write another entry again. I keep meaning to write up an entry because there’s been things to talk about, but I just keep finding myself without the time to do it. So this will be a bit of a hodgepodge catch-up of a few events of the recent week or…
Mother’s Day 2013
Sunday, Love and I went up to Mom’s house to have a family lunch as a combination Mother’s Day/My birthday. My sister, her husband, my Nanny and my Aunt were all there too. Since my birthday is on a Thursday (the 16th) and we were all getting together the Sunday before my birthday for Mother’s…
King of the Jungle
Today was an unseasonably beautiful day with temps in the mid-70’s. (It’s normally well into the mid-80’s by now with feels-like temps into the 90’s.) And, having worked my butt off getting 8 orders made on Sunday, packed and shipped today (hopefully) in time for Mother’s Day, I rewarded myself with an afternoon romp around…

Happy Birthday Mika
Today we celebrate my tabby cat Mika’s adoption day as her birthday. Mika was adopted ten years ago and is now approximately 13 years old. Happy Birthday to my tabby girl and wishes for many more!
Your Daily Cat
Ok, not literally daily but I do find myself taking a lot of pics of my girls. First, because they’re always around. LOL And second, because dammit, I think they’re adorable. Plus, cats are a great way to practice photography because they move a lot, they’re quick, you have to really get a good lock…
New at PhoenixFire Designs
Been busy behind the scenes this past week working on restocking the shop with previously sold out pieces as well as a few new ones. I’m getting very close to my 1,000th sale milestone in my etsy shop. An amazing accomplishment given that I started it as a part-time hobby and turned it into my…
