He's in no rush, and he's not thrilled about any of it. This snail cross stitch pattern (PDF) keeps one sad garden snail hauling his shell past a potted sprout, eye-stalks drooping — terracotta, sage green and a warm shell tone on natural fabric.

Slow, sulky and quietly funny, he makes a calm companion for a windowsill or a shelf of books. The mood sits between cottagecore melancholy and low-key autumn decor, restrained enough to earn a place among the Halloween ornaments too.
