The wooden frame was discovered at The salvo's for $3.00-I removed the cardboard print which was all waterstained and warped.
I've pegged some thrifted deco's onto the hanging wire and the result a quick and easy Christmas display.
I have great admiration for those clever cross stitchers like this beautiful lady. I do!
But I am a lazy crafter and I am impatient too. So it gives me great joy to be able to make a little something quickly. I added a little hand stitching on the edge and the doily so I could give myself a tick for some effort!

The perfect finishing touch...a special vintage button from Belles Buttons. I left the old thread in the button as well...it just adds that little bit of character, I think.
When I went looking for my link to Belles buttons, I stumbled across this picture and thought I'd post it again seeing as Christmas is only 13 days away! Are you ready? I'm not!

absolutely love that idea with the photo frame, wire and pegs! Looks fabulous! I've taken to buying interesting naff frames from the op shop and spray painting them gold then hanging them with family photos grouped on the wall. That reminds me... must spray the ones I've got sitting waiting!
What a wonderful idea, it looks lovely x
The hearts are ADORABLE! I especially love the cross stitched one. And not just cos it's cross stitched LOL, it's just so pretty.
Love the heart and those buttons, take my breath away every time.
