Snowflake Christmas tree

[Tampa Doll]

This is my snowflake Christmas tree. It has about 101 snow flakes all different
made from the 101 snow flake book. It took a year to make them. I also added
some crochet angels, doves, bells and balls.

This year I added the Angel Tree Topper Angelica. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/TampaDoll/Angelic%20Tree%20Toppers/th_ATreeTopAngela.gif (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/TampaDoll/Angelic%20Tree%20Toppers/ATreeTopAngela.gif)


It is now completely decorated with my handmade crochet decorations.
I often find John my DH sitting in the dark just looking at the tree and
lights twinkling.

I ask him what are you doing.

I just HAD to look at this even though I don't thread crochet. I've always fantisized about doing a whole tree this way. What a beauty! Crocheted snowflakes look so much like the real thing. They are classic and timeless. You've inspired me to at least make a start Mary Jo:hug

[lizc]

WOW!

Wow, a year, it would take me a couple, or at the rate I'm going 10, I make a few ornaments each year to add to my tree, Someone once said to me eventually your tree will be all crocheted , they need to see yours.:cheer or was that you? Great tree..

Mary Jo your tree is AMAZING. My daughter is getting married on 30/12/08 and the theme of her wedding is snowflakes. With this in mind I hope to put up a 'snowflake' tree decorated with mainly snowflakes. So I nearly swooned when I saw your tree. It has given me great inspiration. BEAUTIFUL!!!

[amyquilt]

I have never seen such gorgeous work. It really is splendid.
I can not say enough.
Thank you janie cordle

[tryptikangel]

Gorgeous!

My mom's tree is decorated with only handmade ornaments. Not all crocheted by her, a lot of them are ornaments my sister and I made her as we were growing up. But she says there is something special about a tree with handmade ornaments, and I have to agree with her! I'm working on making all my ornaments, but until I get them done, I guess I'll have to settle for a few store bought ones to fill in the bare spots! lol

[barbara james]

I've used that book for a long time and simply love it. Have made, sold and given away at least a thousand snowflakes and still make them. Can never get enough. I love your tree.
