May Flowers Tree

This is May Flowers Tree, from Hello from Liz Mathews. I actually stitched the design, and made the tree, in January, but couldn't decide what to use as a base. I went through lots of different containers, but finally decided on the plainest, smallest old candle pot! There's a piece of foam, cut into shape, and a couple of layers of wadding, inside the tree, and moss peeking out of the bottom of the tree. I glued the moss to the base of the triangle, as per Liz Mathews' instructions. I mixed tacky glue and chopped up moss to fill the candle pot, and stuck the tree trunk in the middle and left it to dry overnight. I finally finished it today! It's stitched on 18 count Aida. The colour is very similar to the linen Liz used for hers, but I had this Aida and thought it would work, and I think it looks really nice with the off white thread. The thread is DMC 3865.
