This answer is so late that you may have already found the chart or have given up! This design is available as a pdf download at etsy.com ... just do a search for the shop "JeanFarish" and you should find it easily. My website "jeanfarish.com" was captured by pirates (I'm not kid...

Hello "LostinFloss" (love the name!) ... you've already touched upon one of the great things about cross stitch ... it can be cute, serious, romantic, sporty, Art Deco, primitive Americana ... and on and on! And it's all good!
