Hearts And Flowers Afghan #1

This is a continuation of the crochet "Hearts And Flowers".  I'm writing the pattern as I crochet the
design that I made using papercut technique.  For more info on papercut design please click the highlighted link.  I was thinking that I have to transfer the design on graph paper first, but I find out that I can crochet the design directly from the papercut itself.  The photo below shows my progress in crocheting the design.

Hearts And Flowers Papercut

I made this Papercut design with the hope of translating it into a more lasting durable art form such as quilt, hooked rug or stencil.  I just now thought of translating it into crochet.  So far, so good.  The challenge is, how  can  I duplicate closely the desing into crochet. 

I'm always fascinated with papercut designs but I want the design that I created to be in another media other than paper.   The photos below show my papercut and my crochet (still in progress).

Beaded Crochet Suncatchers

Let's catch the Sunshine with our hooks and yarn and crochet some Suncatchers.  We can embelish it with the use of any materials such as beads, fabrics, natural or synthetic fibers, etc.

Here are  photos of  my first Suncatchers:

Front or right side of the sun catcher


Back or wrong side of the suncatcher



I need to add a pink suncatcher to the other side to make the arrangement look more balanced.

This arrangement look so much better!!!
