      <image:title>Blog - Steak Pie Fit for a Queen - Onto the star!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I used stew meat, purchased in bulk from Sam’s, but pot roast, ribeye, flank steak, or any other cut would work. It doesn’t matter if it’s a tough cut (like this stew meat) because this is going to cook for several hours and will be melt in your mouth tender by the time we’re done. The meat is seasoned well with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Steak Pie Fit for a Queen - Sear the meat.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The meat seared quickly on high (along with the onions and carrots) to give it a nice crust - about 3-4 minutes. Then lower the temp to medium heat and cooked for another 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute or so until fragrant.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - If Caffeine &amp;amp; Liquor Had a Baby - My daughter and I doodle almost every night in the living room. It's our thing. I've been carrying around all of our pens in an old bag with a broken zipper for months because, honestly, who has time (or $!) to go shopping for a pen holder? But then I spotted an empty Mike's Hard Lemonade 6-pack box sitting by the trash, and something clicked…said the chick with eleventy hundred empty TP and paper towel rolls sitting in her craft closet. But this was basically begging to become something useful.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - If Caffeine &amp;amp; Liquor Had a Baby - The Mike's box is designed to hold bottles, not be a permanent caddy, so the bottom needs some love. Cut a piece from your sturdy cardboard box (mine was about 7.5" x 5" but measure your box bottom and cut accordingly) and attach it to the bottom exterior of the box using masking tape. Make sure it's secure—this is what's going to give your caddy stability.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tip: Don't worry about it being pretty at this stage. The fabric will cover everything.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - If Caffeine &amp;amp; Liquor Had a Baby - Step 4: Seal Everything</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once all your fabric is attached and dry (give it at least 20-30 minutes), apply a final coat of Mod Podge over the entire exterior. This seals everything, gives it a slight protective finish, and helps blend all those fabric edges together. It'll look a little white and milky when you apply it, but it dries clear. Let it dry completely—at least an hour, longer if you can wait. Bonus points if you spot the one stupid, rookie mistake that I made!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Well, mostly. I still have a few tassels left to make because I already cut the strips and I'm not wasting them. And there are two more salt dough ornaments that need hangers before they go up. But nothing major. The tree is lit, decorated, topped, and standing in the living room looking like a maximalist fever dream in the best possible way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - TINY WINS &amp;amp; SHAMELESS PROMOTION - One of Those Days: A Journal for Surviving the Chaos, Owning the Mess, and Finding Meaning in It Later</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is my go-to on especially rough days. The days when everything feels like too much and I need somewhere to put it all without judgment. It's not about toxic positivity or forcing gratitude—it's about surviving the day and making sense of it later. If you're heading into a week (or a season) where you know some days are going to be those days, this journal will help you get through them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - TINY WINS &amp;amp; SHAMELESS PROMOTION - My So-Called Monotropic Life: A Year-Long Journal for Neurodivergent Focus Cycles, Obsession Management, and Beautifully Chaotic Brains</image:title>
      <image:caption>I use this one religiously to track my focus cycles. You know that thing where you hyperfocus on one project for three weeks and then suddenly pivot to something completely different? That's monotropism, and this journal helps you work with it instead of against it. If you're neurodivergent and your brain does the thing where it latches onto one obsession and won't let go (and then suddenly drops it and moves to the next thing), this journal will help you track patterns, manage transitions, and stop feeling guilty about how your brain works.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - TINY WINS &amp;amp; SHAMELESS PROMOTION - Prompt &amp; Palette: Doodles &amp; Daydreams - A Prompt Journal for Drawing, Poetry, and Escaping Reality (Just a Little)</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I'm feeling stuck and need inspiration, this is what I reach for. It's not about being good at art or poetry—it's about getting unstuck. Prompts for drawing, prompts for writing, prompts that give your brain permission to wander and play. Perfect for when you need a creative break but don't know where to start.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - TINY WINS &amp;amp; SHAMELESS PROMOTION - Prompt &amp; Palette: A Shadow Work Art Journal for Shadow &amp; Light</image:title>
      <image:caption>This one is heavier. It's for when you're ready to dig into the hard stuff—the parts of yourself you avoid, the patterns you keep repeating, the shadows you'd rather not look at. It combines shadow work prompts with creative expression, so you're processing while you're making. If you're in a season of deep reflection or working through something difficult, this journal gives you space to do that work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - TINY WINS &amp;amp; SHAMELESS PROMOTION - By Faith: 90 Days to Deeper Trust in God's Character</image:title>
      <image:caption>And if you need spiritual grounding during the chaos, this devotional is designed to help you build trust in God's character over 90 days. Short, reflective, meant to meet you where you are.</image:caption>

The pattern itself can be purchased directly from MmmCrafts if you want to make your own set.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - PLOT TWIST &amp;amp; NEW OBSESSIONS - These are not what I originally planned.</image:title>
      <image:caption>They're brighter, bolder, more chaotic than the muted vintage aesthetic I talked about in my first post. And I love them so much I could tinkle. This one is just the ink with minimal blending. I used iridescent white acrylic for the snow and then mod podged the whole thing. Mod Podge is a must since the alcohol ink will continue to evaporate and lose its color over time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - PLOT TWIST &amp;amp; NEW OBSESSIONS - This one was incredibly difficult to photograph, probably because I used glossy Mod Podge, but whatever. Heart it.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I had a general idea for a forest scene. I just blobbed on three sections of different blue grays then went heavy on the blending. The sun peeking through was a last-minute addition. After it dried, I doodled in the trees with a Staedtler pigment liner (1.2) then sealed it. I’ll probably add some of the iridescent white to the tips of the trees and then maybe a gold border. Not sure yet.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - PLOT TWIST &amp;amp; NEW OBSESSIONS - Can we talk about this snowman for a second? Because I am IN LOVE with him.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I went with a felt hat (because of course I did—it's on brand). His nose is a single bead. And his scarf? A piece of natural muslin colored with alcohol ink. He's imperfect, he's handmade, he's got personality for days. MoFro is proof that sometimes the simplest projects turn out to be your favorites.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Making Ornaments: What's Working (And What I Forgot) - I made my first batch of salt dough ornaments this weekend. Classic shapes—balls, trees, stars. Most are still drying. I baked them, but they can still use some drying time. I used wheat flour for this batch because that's what I had that needed to be used up, and honestly? I like the consistency and the slightly warmer, more natural color. But I'm going to try white flour next just to see the difference.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Making Ornaments: What's Working (And What I Forgot) - The good news: Salt dough is forgiving, easy, and uses stuff you already have in your pantry.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The bad news: I forgot to poke holes in them before baking because that’s who I am as a person.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Making Ornaments: What's Working (And What I Forgot) - I've also started the embroidery ornaments. No pattern, just free handing it based on ideas in my head. There's something meditative about embroidery—the repetitive stitching, the slow build of a design. It's the kind of project that rewards patience, which is hilarious because patience is not my strong suit.</image:title>
