Peppermint is really what inspired this whole tree. Over the years I’ve seen so many gorgeous themed trees in that high contrast red and white and I knew I wanted some of that in my house. I couldn’t bring myself…

Christmas Sweets Crosstitch

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…
