Crocheted Popcorn Pinwheel motif



I saw this motif last 2 years on the internet when I first started learning crochet and straightaway fallen in love with the design. I searched and searched for the instructions but to no avail until I found a video on you tube about Frances Johnson : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYVQ1dsRqfE

Now I finally got it :-)

Beaded Flowers


Carnation
Is it a carnation? I don't exactly know what to name of this flower. The original version is called Carnation and created half from this design. But instead of stop at half, I stitch all around and I turn out better looking that the original.



Pink 3D or Carnation
This flower is named Pink 3D in the notes, but other people also call it a Carnation.  This is not my best shot though, so I might try it again next time when I have enough beads supply.



Netted Flower
This flower I like most and I believe many people like it too :-). It looks difficult but actually it's easy to make.



These 2 flowers I learn from some websites I browsed on the Internet. I don't have the link since I copied the notes quite some time ago. First flower is supposed to have six patels but since I don't have enough beads it turned out to be five patels only. Both flowers are made of St. Petersburg chain.




Beading Work Time

Make way for beadings! I just got my tutorial notes for 3D beaded flowers & leaves via email last month that I bought online. Stop for a while ribbon and thread embroideries :-)




Door decorations

I like to learn new things so much, this door decoration was the next thing to do in my list. I learn to make it from an embroidery teacher I know from FB. She told me some instructions and I did it :-)




I also make this heart shape piece for my friend's birthday. She is so happy and hang it on the wall at her house :-)


Embroidered Chair Back Cover

Oh! I learned to make this simple chair back cover quite some time ago, I simply wanted to put some embellishment I hadn't really thought about the embroidery design, so I just design it randomly.




And this is the recent design I made for my second chair back :-D




Currently I have 4 same chairs, so I might be making for another 2 soon.


Embroidered Tote Bags

I saw many of my FB friends make tote bags and embellish them with ribbon embroideries, I don't want to be left out so I also tried to make it. My ribbons are out of stock though, so I make thread embroideries instead. Here you go :-D



Rose Flowers

I have been trying and trying to make this type of rose I saw on JDR Brazilian website and finally got it (or at least got it).
