My cousin has been cleaning out and rearranging. She has given me some pretty family items and other fun things. She gave me two little framed flower cross stitch pictures that have hung on her wall for probably more than 30 years! They were rather "dated" in small gold rectangle frames and were stitched on Aida that has discolored through the years. She told me to take them and make some ornaments, which I did! I think they turned out really cute! I used an upholstery cut sample at the bottom of the red one, with taupe trim and buttons. It is backed in a red on red paisley cotton. The yellow flowers have an African-type print with a bee button and little yellow flowers attaching the hanger. It is backed in another African animal print.
