Leap Day
It seems that I only write a post once every four years these days. Regardless if that’s accurate or not, I just had to post something today to have a date stamp of February 29th on the blog. 😉 So here’s a gratuitous car selfie in lieu of any actual content: Happy Mathematical Construct Day […]
Excuse me, have you seen 2014 around here anywhere?
So…um, this is awkward. I’ve been meaning to write an entry for awhile now and it looks like it’s been more than two months since I last did. Whoops. And here we are not only in 2015, but midway through the second month of 2015. Yeah sorry about that. I did get around to making […]
How Disney and Marvel Ruined My Christmas
I ordered the Disney Infinity Marvel Super Heroes starter set from the Shop Marvel website for $39.99 on November 26th. Christmas gift for my guy. I add an Iron Man cell phone case as filler to get free shipping. A few days later, I also buy a couple extra figures on amazon during a sale. […]
Holiday Gift Guide
The holidays start showing up in store decorations months in advance these days, yet it seems we STILL manage to get ourselves overwhelmed trying to figure out the perfect gift every year! And despite “Christmas creep” taking over Thanksgiving and even Halloween, it still normally blindsides us. My first suggestion: Avoid the mall and mass […]
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween from the FLÖÖF! (No kitties were harmed in the making of my fluffy orange cat wearing a witch hat. She was highly annoyed but not injured! LOL)
Birthday Girl!
Today is my 37th birthday! 🙂 Weeeeeeeee! My Mom had this tradition when I was little where she’d have me stand next to my cherry tree and hold a sign each year on my birthday. Here’s me in 1980 on my 3rd birthday: And here’s me last week. (I was having a good hair and […]
2014
2013 went out with a whoosh as it flew past me and my intentions of posting more frequently in the blog. The second half of November and all of December became unbelievably busy and there was simply no free time available for updating, despite the fact I really did intend to many times. So here’s […]
Holiday Wishes 2013
Holiday Wishes is a fun idea where you post your wishlist – anything from cards to pipe dreams like a car – and then you go through lists other people have posted and see if you can fulfill any of their wishes. I’ve been doing it on a community on Livejournal for years and years […]

PhoenixFire Designs 2013 Holiday Order Deadlines
HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES I know people don’t want to think about Holiday & Christmas shopping yet. BUT…as everything is handmade by my two very human hands, there is more lead time required than grabbing something made in China from Wal-Mart. Especially factoring in shipping. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS REQUIRE THE MOST TIME. International orders shipping first class […]
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 […]
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!
Happy Mail
With the busyness of the holidays, followed by my Mom’s fall the day after Christmas (and subsequent days in the hospital and fractured arm…) I only just got to check the post office box for the first time since mid-December. And I had some cards (sadly, including one which came back undeliverable) and some packages! […]
2012 Holidays
The month of December went by in a complete rush this year because of being so busy in my shop. I had a record 103!! orders for the month of December alone! (And many of those had more than one item in the order!!) It meant though, that I didn’t have as much time as […]
