Oh no! Look at us in the same boat on a river of tears. I'm so sorry. It's so hard and I don't wish these feelings on anyone. It's a long road and I hope you're able to find peace. Take your time and don't let anyone tell you how to grieve. Lots of warmth and love. <3

I was just quoting this yesterday to my husband, regarding our cat who like to eat all these meals!

"We've got the meats!" - some restaurant commercial I hear a lot.

Thank you, bb! I love these repeating patterns. I like patterns like this because it's easy to get into a groove with them.

Not stitching much here, we're still in mourning at Casa DeLong for our best doggo, Ghost.

Another small Halloween pattern to get you feeling the vibes. (Did that sound cool?) This was stitched with COSMO floss, but I've included a DMC conversion.

A cross stitch project on hand-dyed fabric that is a mottled, dark blue. The project is staged with a plastic snake, some black and orange foliage, and some embroidery floss on black bobbins. The cross stitch shows a giant jack-o-lantern with a grinning face and curly green vines. Beyond the pumpkin is the silhouette of a vampire's castle, with hazy clouds, a crescent moon, and some red-eyed bats. BAD Stitch

Aww, we've all been burned before. At least you got through this and maybe it'll be a cute ornament? You can still instill joy in it!

Dropping some small Halloween cross stitch patterns this week! First up, Cosmo Raven, which features a COSMO or a DMC palette. Stitcher's choice.

A cross stitch project on dark purple fabric, staged with florals, snakes, a purple glitter hand, and rainbow beads. The cross stitch shows a bright pink witch's hat, a small buckle detail, and a curlie-cue top. There's a raven perched on the hat, and small moon and star motifs. BAD Stitch.

I love vaporwave palettes SO MUCH. When I'm cross stitching with bright colors, like those PANKS and neon blues, it makes my eyes happy.

A cross stitch on light purple fabric, staged with neon green tulle, fake foliage, and little snake figurings. The cross stitch shows a black, gnarly tree with vaporwave lines running through the trunk and branches. A headstone sits next to the tree with RIP engraved upon the stone and a raven sits perched with wings extended. BAD Stitch.

New in my shop, Puking Pumpkin! I hope this gets you in the mood to cross stitch something spooky this season.

A cross stitch on bright green fabric, staged with fake florals, cording, candycorn, and scissors with ghosts on them. The cross stitch shows a large jack-o-lantern with a wide-open mouth. Small motifs, like ghosts, bones, eyes, witch's hat, leaves, frogs, bats, skulls, stars, and a black cat are swirling out of the mouth in a swirly pattern. BAD Stitch.

Beautiful finish! @countingpuddles.bsky.social You're famous!

Amanda DeLong | BAD Stitch @badstitch.bsky.social · 6d

For real!! I have enough for an 8x10 stitch and I'm going to be so sad when it's gone. You never realize how many good patterns work on neon green until you've got it in your face! haha.
