Oven baked boneless chicken thighs. Marinated in garlic, green bells, lime juice & lime rinds and seasonings.

It always makes the whole apartment smells all kinds of awesome!

The LGBTQ+ affirming Catholic church I go to is filled with generous folks. There's a whole table of religious pamphlets, prayer cards, rosaries [from me] and sometimes even small devotional items and holy medals.

Today I found St. Peregrine today w/ Our Lady of Sorrows in the reverse side.

Such a filling & comforting meal! ✌🏼✨

I dug deep into the vaults and found this old friend that needs a new home. A 'Record Keeper' Corundum-Sapphire wrapped in bare Copper wire.

We made a batch of chicken soup/broth from a leftover rotisserie chicken so we gave some to our neighbor. She can split it into two servings with two different types of noodles.

'Kapwa' is being mindful of others besides yourself, like your neighbors & friends.

This might be the last bloom from my rose bush. There's one more bud in the bush, but we'll see if it'll bloom in this cooler temperatures ✌🏼✨

I offered it to Our Lady 🌹🤍

I love this ephemeric stylized and colorful version of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 🌈

This small print was gifted to me from a penpal, so I framed it for my altar space ✌🏼✨❤️🔥

He also sent me this cute little keychain of O.L. of Mount Carmel! I'll definitely attach it to my daily bag.

I sent a penpal packages last month to a penpal I've lost in touch with when I left IG.I found his address on a post it note that I used as a bookmark so I sent him a few items.In return he sent me a few devotional items & a book.We have to find & share the light especially during times of darkness.

It's kind of hard to tell, but I hand polished one of these lead-free pewter Folk Crucifixes. Pewter and nickel dulls when exposed after awhile, but you can always run them through a rouge/polishing cloth to bring their shine back.

Plus daily touching/use will keep their shine in the long run.

A few items from our yearly Fiber Festival. I thought this tapestry needle was a cute little tool when I make my little woven things. There was a vendor w/ beads and she had a few folk pewter crucifixes, so I bought them all & I got myself a small hand woven zipper pouch from Saori weaving ✌🏼✨🐑

Homegrown Garden Sage from this past growing season.

I burn it after burning things like 'kamangyan', or Mugwort.

It's a Blessing Herb and it's best used in prayer and calling in Blessings after you've Cleared a space. 1/

So we made a batch of chocolate cupcakes w/ chocolate frosting and fun sprinkles today.

We gave some to our neighbor cause she helped us out with the eggs..!

I went to church this morning for the Holy Rosary & Mass.I recently gifted Rosary beads to one of the members of the LGBTQ Catholic group for her birthday, so she then gifted me this crucifix.She got it from a flea market & it's missing a piece. So @sewvivalist.bsky.social helped me make a base. 1/

:sigh:

So here we are again.

I inherited an old Santo statue from my aunt who passed years ago. She had glued something in the base so I had to sand it flush so I can repaint it.

The body is still in good shape. @sewvivalist.bsky.social is working on her new dress/cape. I can't wait for her to look great again! ✌🏼✨

The bead shop in town has a bargain bin so you know...

So I made myself an everyday bracelet with a Clear Tourmalinated Quartz.

Black Tourmaline is very Protective/Warding, and Clear Quartz amplifies. So there you go! Instant everyday Ward ✌🏼✨

Venturing into making gemstone/artsy knotted Rosary beads now that muscle memory came into play.

Ebony bead Ave, Citrine bead Pater/Gloria and a bone Ethiopian style Cross.

This is a gift for our lovely neighbor for her birthday coming up.

I love first projects being gifts 💛✨

..and this is why our Blessed Mother is always hardcore!

people: oh Bryan it looks like you've left Witchcraft behind cause you go to Mass and post more Catholic stuff.

me: Witchcraft/Magic is not a religion. It's an art & a practice. You can practice & be part of any religion/spirituality you want.

I haven't made a Mission Rosary in a minute so I've made a handful since yesterday. But this is a simple Mission Rosary bead.

Nothing fancy, just oval shaped seed beads with knots in between and a Crucifix.

A bit happy that these Filipino 'Embutido', turned out great on the fly. I wasn't planning on making them as they are a lot of work, but well worth it!

They're a savory sweet meatloaf Filipino dish that's popular during the Holidays. It is steamed in small logs/loaves & then sliced then fried.
October 20, 2025 at 11:58 PM
You can eat it with warm rice and the Embutido room temp [as they are cooked already], but I prefer browning them in some oil on a fry pan.
October 20, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Ground Turkey Embutido with Turkey hot dogs and the usual flavors/ingredients. I just didn't add the quartered boiled egg into the log as it's a bit of work that gets lost along the way.
