Been working on some drawings to decorate a printable recipe page in a sort of dark cottage/ goblincore style. My drawing skills are rudimentary, but I'm digging this vibe.
A screenshot from a digital drawing app shows a hand-drawn black-and-white illustration of a recipe page layout on a parchment-colored background. At the top left, a rustic wooden shelf is wrapped in brambles and cluttered with cozy items: potted mushrooms with trailing vines, jars, and a toppled jar with a mouse peeking over it. Hanging below the shelf are a bell, a crystal, and an ornate key. The page edge is ragged like torn parchment, and blank lines and boxes are drawn below for recipe details.

Now it has magic sparkles!

I still do not love this stretched aida frame. I even tried painting the background fabric, hoping I could cover the wood showing through. It did not work. But the design is heckin cute!

Grackle and Broom cross stitch pattern by @badstitch.bsky.social
A small square cross-stitch piece mounted on a black background is shown on a cutting mat. The stitched design depicts a whimsical scene of a broomstick flying through a starry night sky. The broom has a grackle perched on it and blue and purple bristles. Surrounding it are scattered white stars, a glowing crescent moon, and tiny blue sparkles, giving it a magical, celestial vibe.

If you're looking for a last-minute spooky craft project for Halloween, my embroidery patterns whip up really quickly. They're also good for beginners because they only use split stitch and chain stitch.

I just finished this cute little spooky cross stitch piece (pattern by @badstitch.bsky.social). Isn't it cute?

It just needs...something. These stretched aida frames are not great. I sense some paint and or fabric additions maybe?
A finished cross stitch design done on black aida cloth, stretched over a small, square wooden frame. The design is a dark purple and blue grackle sitting on the gnarled wooden handle of a broom with purple, blue, and grey bristles.

Halloween projects on my crafting table this week...
A slightly overhead photograph on a dark gray cutting mat shows a small, stretched square piece of black Aida cloth on a frame. The fabric has a partially completed cross-stitch design of a witch's broomstick in browns and purples. The dark outline of a bird sits on the handle. In the upper left background are strings of real acorns that have been painted with caps in various colors, including purple, orange, and black, and are tied with dark thread to a small, weathered stick.

Check out the glowing cat luminary I made out of a coffee can.
If you were making your own, what creature would you turn it into?

Tutorial: fraydikatstudio.com/2025/10/13/g...
Black tin can Halloween luminary painted with a glowing green cat face and pink nose, with black felt ears attached. Light shines through small punched holes outlining the features. It’s sitting on an outdoor table next to potted plants.

It's an acorn painting kind of day! My brain is convinced we must DIY fall decor, so let's see what we can make with these 🖤💜
A close-up photograph of a craft project in progress, with many acorns spread out on a colorful, paint-splattered cardboard work surface. Some of the acorns have been painted in rich fall colors like deep burgundy, purple, and metallic bronze. Behind the cardboard work surface is a baking sheet full of unpainted acorns.

I really wanted to finish this piece before I started another cross stitch, but at the rate I'm going if I don't temporarily park it, I might not get any of the spooky patterns I've downloaded done before Halloween!

I designed this little bat because I desperately needed to picture some FAFO being delivered to people who have earned it.

I’m trying to repair a quilt for my SIL, but this turd thinks the blanket on my lap is for him.

#cat #felinehijinx #embroidery #blanketmonster
A quilt on the lap of a sitting person. In the foreground you can see a purple, paw-shaped patch partially sewn onto the quilt. Behind that is the head of a black and white cat wrapped up in the folds of the quilt. Said cat looks smug AF. A close-up of a cat with a pink-toed paw and one eye peeking out from under a white blanket. It looks like the cat is a blanket monster reaching out with his claws.
