Two things which often look unnatural and awkward in CQ are trees and spiderwebs... I do like this method of doing the trees which Judith Montano demonstrated.. An assortment of threads are wound together for the trunk with threads hanging loose. After the trunk is attached I was able to manipulate the "branches" with my left thumb while couching with my right hand. I was able to achieve a nice fluid look and was happy with the technique.
Now what to do for foliage...? I want to use ribbon but not sure how at this point. And I also want my tree blooming... After all it is a spring tree.. And I have some MOP birds for the tree... They are left from a tree I did for Lauri B. But the problem that I am trying to think through this am is the the lower right. There will be something floral.... probably a trug of flowers but I also wanted to include a toy or toys to represent a child in the garden... I've considered a wagon, a trike, a doll, or a ball but have not been inspired by any of them... But then inspiration hit me.... Since I have the lady in bloomers gardening on one of the earlier blocks, I'll have a sunbonnet sue type child with a watering can... I want to use lots of my flower beads and this would be the perfect spot to do it....

Looking wonderful NuMom!!
I'm liking the tree very much. And is that a swing hanging from it? I think I like the lace over the pink better than I would like the green - at least from the picture. I still haven't been able to get much stitching done but I'm grateful that at least my eyes allow me to use my sewing machine.
I had not noticed about the pink but you are so right. the lace has softened in perfectly. I am sure Sue will look lovely under the beautiful tree
