Browsing on Etsy this weekend I couldn't help picking up these cross-stitch patterns from seller Andwabisabi. She's got the CUTEST modern cross-stitch designs in her shop. How could anyone be expected to resist?

I just love the smiley cloud. I actually love rainy, gloomy days, so this piece perfectly describes my rainy-day feelings.



And this little fox just stole my heart. Wouldn't he be adorable stitched on a cotton summer dress, or on a tote bag?

And I love that both of these seem like they could be started and finished in the time it takes to watch one movie. Super cute + instant gratification = perfect!
