Twelve year old me loved doing cross stitch. My grand oeuvre was an alphabet sampler, in which every letter was represented by a little picture of a different food or kitchen tool. This alphabet sampler featured on Posie Gets Cozy re-sparked that interest in me. Samplers are so fun because each element is fun in itself - it may take weeks to finish a sampler, but a letter or small motif can be completed in an hour or less. I found some free alphabet cross stitch charts here, maybe I'll find a minute to start one one of these days.
