But don't worry, I'll be back eventually. I don't know when, but when that time comes, I'll be sure to tell you.

Thanks for your understanding and your continued support, everyone. It means a lot. ☺️ /4 /end

Hey everyone, hope you're all having a good holiday if you've been celebrating, and if not, I hope you're doing well regardless.

After I get these last couple orders done, I'm going to be putting the shop on hiatus for an unknown length of time. Quite simply...I need a break. /1

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

On top of all that, I need time to look for more consistent work/income after my seasonal job ended in November, and I want to spend some time creating and thinking of new things I can make for all of you...all things I haven't been able to do much of lately. /3

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

The things I sell are made-to-order, which means they aren't made until you place the order. That takes time, especially when real life can in the way too.

Just...something to think about to be kind and not stress my already frazzled AuDHD brain out.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

I know it's been a long time since I posted anything, but I need to speak up on something I've been dealing with a little too often lately.

Please...don't do this. If you want to buy multiple items, please make a single order rather than ordering something every few days/weeks.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

Why? Not only is it a drain on my time and resources, it also wastes more materials, especially for shipping. It also saves YOU money on shipping to buy more items at once!

Overall, it stresses me out and makes me feel overwhelmed. And that leads to lower quality work from me.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

The things I make and sell are for people to feel happy about who they are and what/who they love. If Etsy is fine with selling items that promote hate, I'll gladly find myself another platform that isn't.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

This is not okay.

People can cry "muh free speech!" all they want, but the fact remains that this is merch for a concentration camp, something that was created purely in the name of hate.

And I don't want to be selling on a platform that allows such flagrant displays of hate.

cc: @Etsy we are seeing a lot of these messages

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

It's been a while because of financial issues, but the shop is FINALLY back up just in time for Pride! Now would be a great time to get something for yourself or someone you know.

アムロげんき？

Coming soon to the shop!

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

The sale itself starts at 12:01 am Central time, so don't be surprised if you go there right away and don't find the sale there yet.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

It's time for an unexpected sale!

Buy any four items in the shop, get 20% off!

Ends 2/22, so there's still time to get in those Valentine's Day orders, or to just show yourself some self-love. 💕

As always, free shipping on orders over $35!

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

On top of that, I have real-world commitments to deal with today, and I seem to have come down with something courtesy my mom.

At this point, I can't guarantee anything arriving in time for Christmas. If you wanted it in time, you should have ordered sooner.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

This is the first order I've had in a long time, and the buyer sent this message literally as I was just getting up for the day today.

Please don't do this, folks. Each piece is individually handmade to order and takes time to make. And this one is going to take a while too.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

We're FINALLY BACK! Payment issues kept the shop down for way too long, but that's now in the past. Let's do this!

I have Jewish ancestry. My late Jewish father taught exhaustive units on the Holocaust in his classes long before it became mandatory in my state.

I absolutely will not support any convention that invites guests who embrace the words of the dictator who persecuted my ancestors.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

I was considering tabling at PMC this year, but after this...hell no. Not unless they listen to the fandom and reverse their decision.

The rest of the fandom--and other PR alumni with a moral compass--should also refuse to attend.

They are deleting every comment that is calling them out..... Cowards, ignorant

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

But if there's something you want between now and when I can finally get my shop back up, please feel free to DM me here or drop me an e-mail at khandreia[at]gmail[dot]com, and I'd be happy to work something out with you.

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

Hey everyone, apologies for the long silence, and also for the shop being unavailable. I've been going through some financial issues that have affected my ability to pay my monthly Etsy fees, and they suspended my account and shop as a result. 😭

[Phoenixfyre Crafts @PhoenixfyreC]

I've been spending a LOT of time lately looking for regular work to help get back on my feet again, but the process is that much harder for people like me on the autism spectrum. It can be demoralizing to get no responses, but I have to keep trying!
