Sakura--My cherry blossom tree

I just love Sakura but I always seem to miss our local cherry blossom festival so I thought I would create my own. I thought I would make several trees and a grass scene with a creek flowing through the trees and of course cherry blossoms blowing everywhere.  I just finished my 1st tree. I got the crochet flower pattern online somewhere, but I just freehanded the knitted tree. It's base is made of a 16 oz soda bottle with rocks to weight it down. This makes it very stable to sit anywhere. I am not too happy with the tree itself but I do like how it sits anywhere. Oh well, practice makes perfect so maybe I do better on the other trees.
