The forecast says, “1.47 inches of rain coming your way” which I find amusing. It’s so specific a number. It’s still sunny outside currently, but if you look at the expanded radar, it’s clearly on it’s way. Which is good because we’re in an “extreme drought” situation here in the Tampa Bay Area. (And indeed,…

Almost 400!
I’m only 11 sales shy of reaching 400 sales in my etsy shop! I would love to reach this milestone, so I would appreciate help in spreading the word. Perhaps you can share my shop link on facebook, or tweet it or pin a favorite item or two? More items available in the shop. And,…
March Tree
My March Tree is hot right now! Featuring beautiful blue aquamarine gemstone chips (the birthstone of March), it’s the perfect item for a lady with a March birthday. It’s also a lovely gift for a Mother of a March child as well! Each one is hand crafted from non-tarnish, sterling silver plated wire and made…
Etsy Bill Seriously Overdue (And no money to pay it)
Uh-oh. Etsy apparently realized I haven’t paid my bill since…um, well, you see what happened was…October. Hello, We are writing to you to let you know that your Etsy bill is overdue by at least 30 days. While we appreciate you selling on Etsy, we are unable to effectively operate our business if sellers do…
Restocking PhoenixFire Designs Shop
I’ve been busy this week restocking items that had previously sold out in the shop. All of these items were sold out but are once again remade and ready-to-ship. All of these – and many more! – are available for purchase at PhoenixFireDesigns.etsy.com right now. Don’t forget, I also gladly accept custom orders. Want a…
16 Weeks
I had to go back and count because I hadn’t been keeping exact track lately but today is 16 weeks since my hysterectomy. That seems like such a long time ago. But in many ways, it’s very recent. I think I’ve finally reached a point where the aches and pains part of the healing are…
Weekend
I spent most of Friday just in a serious funk. Kept crying because of the damned collection letter. It’s like, why even bother trying to be responsible and pay everyone off if I’m just going to get screwed over and ruin my credit anyway? Everything is stacked against you as the debtor and they make…
New at PhoenixFire Designs
Been hard at work making new items for the shop and today I got five new pieces photographed and listed! Between two new trees – a multi colored Opal and a watermelon tourmaline – and two pairs of sterling hoops (rainbow gemstone and emerald green aventurine) and even a new pair of 14k gold threader…
Bisy Backson
Been so busy this past week with recovering from my food poisoning/ER trip and Love’s surgery Thursday. The anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea medications they gave me made me dizzy. The anti-nausea one is normally prescribed for people going through chemo! I wasn’t allowed to drive on the meds and I had to take them for 3…
January and February
Both my Garnet “January Tree” and
Saturday Rest
I got more than a little overwhelmed on Friday when the links, emails, mentions, tags and hits just flooded in. It was crazy. So Saturday, Love and I took a day completely off the interwebs. We took a drive over to Orlando, talked, walked around, window shopped, people watched, had a burger, watched some fireworks…
Hectic Holiday
Busy, busy, busy! I just haven’t had time for much lately online including the blog. Working hard on last-minute shop sales, running to the post office every day to mail out completed orders, trying to get the last of our own holiday shopping and such done, normal household errands to run, and I still have…

Don’t forget you can also “Like” PhoenixFire Designs on Facebook! This year, it’s more important than ever that I have…
2 Drink Kinda Day
Unfortunately for me though, I don’t drink. Yes, I hated my day job. And no, I really didn’t want to go back but that doesn’t mean the way things wound up doesn’t leave me really low today. Going to get my stuff, I felt like I was being punished. I felt demeaned as my former…
PhoenixFire Designs Updates
Love’s doing well, sore but healing. What’s not doing so great is the finances since we had to spend $187 Thursday for the surgery that no one told us about ahead of time. Part of that money was earmarked for our past-due power bill but now…ugh. So, I’ve been hard at work trying to get…
