Food Charts

I've noticed an uptick in the number of food charts lately. Especially things like cupcakes and chocolates. Interesting kind of trend. When I first seriously started cross stitching more than 20 years ago, you could find watermelons every where. Maybe an occasional fruit or veggie series. The only "food" chart I've stitched was the chocolate covered cherries by Casey Buonaugurio card for my mother. Don't get me wrong - I think the cupcakes and stuff are quite cute. But I can't imagine doing them.

Now onto the food survey:
