Tiny Embroidery on Crochet

Back in the time when I was a kid, we didn't have internet, so instead of burying our heads into phones like today's kids, we buried them into craft projects.  
Embroidery, needle point and cross-stitch were my first love, and I return to them dearly even today. 
I was around 7-8 when I started my first project, which was a gobelin of a bunny (I still keep it!). I made a couple of pillow cases and several tablecloths.  As I grew up, my interests changed and  I started embroidering on clothes (blouses/ dresses/ jackets mostly). That transferred to embroidering crochet pieces. 
 
Using a crochet piece as a canvas is no easy task, especially when taller stitches are used, like in the case of my baby dress above, which is the my latest embroidery on crochet. It is quite small and simple consisting of French knots and lazy Daisies. 
 
I am eager though, to try embroidering enormous flowers trending right now. Quite curious how that would turn out.
