Maybe Today Satan? – Cross-Stitch

I think most people are familiar with the expression “Not today, Satan.” Popularized by Bianca del Rio on “Rupal’s Drag Race,” it’s an expression that means nothing is going to stand in your way of getting what you want, including the Devil himself.

But some days you might be feeling less confident about your ability to take on the world. Instead of not today, maybe you’re only feeling maybe today.

In that case, this cross stitch pattern from 8 Bit Stitch is for you.

The design comes out to 8.5 inches square on 18 count fabric, and uses lots of colors for the flowers that circle the words.

You can get the pattern directly from 8 Bit Stitch for $6.

Cute spooky and fantasy cross stitch patterns is how the designer behind Haunted Frames describes their shop, and I have to agree with them. These designs are cute and Gothic and a little bit spooky all at once. There’s a heavy focus on book themes, which you know I am a fan of, so let’s get into it.

Stopping first in the books section, there are lots of designs that are literally on book shapes, but if you know my love of both books and cats, you’ll know I had to share the Midnight Book Cart cross stitch pattern. As the name suggests it’s a design with a witchy book cart, complete with a spiderweb, bats flying out of a book and what it describes as a ghost cat (though I would have to make a black cat instead of a white one since I have a black cat, and that fits with the vibe).

The design is 65 by 97 stitches and is worked in 17 colors. It’s shown on 16 count fabric, which makes it 4.1 by 6.1 inches, or 10.3 by 15.4 cm.

I also love the winter themed little free library design, which would be perfect to stitch up for the little librarian in your life (or to drop at a neighborhood book space).

Projects with a book theme make up the majority of the patterns that are categorized in this shop, but you’ll want to scroll through all their patterns to see what else is available, since it doesn’t look like everything is in a category. You’ll find castles and dragons, more cats of course, some more obviously Halloween and Christmas themed projects and those that would suit for spooky season or any other time of year.
