I had a mini light bulb moment when I saw Hadley's cross stitching post. Maybe this is the thing for me! So I went over to Wee Little Stitches and had a shop. I found a pattern that was screaming my name.
I love peanut butter and jam. Raspberry jam with Skippy smooth peanut butter on toast, specifically. There are very few things in the world that make me happier.
Anyway, this was my first attempt at cross stitching and I truly enjoyed myself. It travelled beautifully, was perfect in front of the TV and it looks fab hanging in my kitchen. I think I am onto a winner! Thanks, Hadley, for pointing me in a new direction!

That is so cute.
Glad to find a fellow peanut butter and jam lover. My hubby and kids think I am a loon.
It has to be seeded raspberry jam and the crunchiest peanut butter for me. Love your xstitch, I want one now!
This is very cute. Although I have never tried the jam/peanut butter combination, not sure it's for me! I have been doing cross stitch since I was about 7 years old and it can't be beaten for portability and doing in front of the TV. If you want some more modern, funky patterns, have a look on pinterest, there are some great ones there :-)
Very cute - never tried that combo but happy you have found a new outlet for your creativity!
I'm more raspberry jam on goat's cheese!
Cross stitching is addictive once you get into it. It's great for kids to do too. You have reminded me that I have a bag of unfinished ones somewhere!
That's an adorable pattern, I've purchased from Wee Little Stitches but have never finished anything yet. :P Good luck and have fun!
The thought of that combo is so out of my comfort zone - bleugh, but the cross stitching is lovely xxx
Very cute! I have cross stitched, off and on, for a long time now! It is quite addictive!
You have never cross stitched?!? It was my gateway craft! Although I prefer cheese with my jam and my PB solo.
Who doesn't love a good PB&J? Besides Hadley apparently..... We really need to do something about her taste level!!! Your stitching is super fun!
Awesome stitching dudette :-) Love that your PB&J is now Jam... lol
That is very cute Cindy and guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you see it.
Watch ot, cross stitch can be addictive! ;-)
We eat a lot of PB&J here... so I love, love, love your little cross stitch project. Delightful!
LOL that is soooo cute. even if the thought of pb&j really grosses me out. Bleurk.
That is too cute! Once my rose stars are done I'm so doing some cross stitch :)
I am glad you found a craft to do by hand that you liked! Those little toasts are just waiting to smush their goodness together. Beautiful stitching. And now I can't get this out of my head.

Too cute! I used to do loads of cross stitch when it was popular the first time around circa 1990 (am I really that old?). Great that you have found something else to keep those hands busy! Jxo
And this is as close to peanut butter as I'm ever getting ;o) Gorgeous stitching, though!
Very sweet, but you wouldn't catch me eating that combo.
That is the cutest thing! (however not the nicest thing to eat...peanut butter? Gross!)
Have you heard the song?

I used to do loads of cross stitch, but not recently. You're making me want to get going again.
