🧵 Stitching Tips for Aquatic Awesomeness

Fabric choice: Light blue, mint, or white Aida cloth will make those pastel tones pop!
Thread magic: Add a strand of iridescent floss for a subtle water-like shimmer. ✨
Extra charm: Stitch it alongside tiny bubbles or a little aquatic plant for bonus cuteness.

Life can be stressful, but stitching this little guy is like a mini mindfulness retreat. So grab your needle, pick your prettiest blues, and let those good vibes flow—just like an axolotl lazily drifting through the water.
