WOW!

GREAT JOB!

i happen to love my tree too! i took a class from the owner of www.sagedreamdesign.com and that is what we made. the top is open too and i made a little nest with some eggs that fit inside (you can actually see it next to the tree - except a gnome is in it) i am trying to get her to hold a doll-making class at my house soon.

don't worry selena - YOUR forte is pretty awesome!!!!

Spectacular!

Where do you live that you can take classes from her... I love her website too- but it doesnt say where they are available.

Wow! What a wonderful solstice surprise!

i live in pennsylvania - outside of philly. a bit of a hike from you! ;)

i wonder if she woudl do an online class?????

you did a fantastic job mama:)

Your work is really amazing!

I so envy you that you could take a class with sagedramdesigns. I would so love to take a class with her (I found her playscapes in May I think). Alas, at least then she was only doing classes in CA.

Any chance you would take a closer picture of your dragons and your knitted or is it crochet fir tree?
