I made a reef for my front door, and one of those 2x4 Christmas trees. Mine is over 5 feet tall. I most likely will make another.

I recently made some caramel from scratch to make a warm caramel apple dip, and it wasn't quite as hard as I imagined, and was super tasty, so I'm thinking I might try and make some homemade candy this year.
My immediate family isn't big on gifts, but one of the things I do every year is find the most unhinged or weird mugs at thrift shops and give everyone a mug with some hot chocolate, candy canes, and other treats. Having some home-made treats in there for a change would be fun!
I'm not big into Christmas decorations but I decided to make presents for my closest friends this year.
I already carved and sanded wooden mushrooms. They are only a few inches big so it's not something that will take up a lot of space.
I just want to stain them now. I made a wooden mushroom as a birthday present recently and stained it with black and rooibos tea and it turned out really nice. This time I will also try vinegar+fruit juice as recommended from a random site that talked about staining wood that I found. I want to give these newer mushrooms a nice colourful top with light brown stems.
