Martha Stewart ain't got nothing on Ann Wood. Her vast collection of handcrafted goodies are dazzling to even the most crafty creatures on the planet.
From intricately made ships with patched sails to creepy, crawly spiders, Ann Wood proves that craftsmanship knows no bounds.
My personal favorite out of her creations is the owl with the heart on his bosom. He's just begging for a home that will love him.
