Counted Cross Stitch

Mom had a wonderful talent for Counted Cross Stitch.  She made many beautiful gifts for new babies.  One item that stands out is something she made my son (her grandson), Scott, when he was two years old.  It was a cross-stitched ornament with a little choo choo train and it had a little musical tune of Favorite Things that plays when you press the train.  It has been more than 20 years since he received it and every year we hold our breath when we push the train and every year... it continues to work!
