Kawaii Will Get Me Through
When in doubt, stitch that which will delight your inner child. How adorable is this delectable-looking little burger from the book Cute Kawaii Cross Stitch by Sosae and Dennis Caetano? I used DMC 310, 349, 702, 726, 729, 739, 938, and 3706 and had almost as much fun “framing” this cutie in Canva as I did stitching it! I definitely want to sample more from this magical book—the dessert designs are particularly sweet (sorry).
I added the hearts (from my Véronique Enginger calendar) exactly two weeks ago during the blackout here in Madrid. Thankfully the Spanish sun shone strong until quite late in the evening, providing much-appreciated lighting for me to soothe myself with stitches and not get too anxious about how long the power might be out. About 11 hours as it turned out—not too bad! I am extremely grateful that I had cute cross-stitch designs like this one and also an adorable Durene Jones snowman pattern to focus on and help me navigate the weird vibe of that day.
