Want some embroidery with attitude?

I made Midnight Mischief — 5 neon-bright embroidery pdfs for anyone who wants chaos, curses, and petty dragons in their hoop. 🧪🐉🕷️

Grab a pattern or the whole set and stitch up some trouble:
ko-fi.com/fraydikat/shop
Five circular embroidery hoop patterns on dark fabric with vibrant thread, advertising a 'New Release! PDF Embroidery Patterns.' The five designs feature whimsical, witchy-themed text and imagery: 'Essence of Chaos' (potion bottle), 'Hoarding Grudges' (dragon), 'Spun From Spite' (spider and web), 'Manifesting Mayhem' (cat and potion), and 'HexPress Delivery: Karma' (bat). Colorful embroidery floss and iridescent scissors are visible as accents. A close-up photograph of a hand holding a circular embroidery hoop displaying the 'ESSENCE OF CHAOS' hand embroidery pattern. The design features a stylized potion bottle with an eye and mystical symbols, embroidered on dark fabric in vibrant neon colors (pink, blue, and yellow). The image includes the overlaid text: '5 Vibrant witchy, whimsical designs' and 'Digital Download Hand Embroidery Pattern.' A close-up photograph of a hand holding a circular embroidery hoop displaying the 'MANIFESTING MAYHEM' hand embroidery pattern. The design, on dark fabric, features a stylized purple cat knocking over a green potion vial, with a yellow crescent moon and stars. The words 'MANIFESTING MAYHEM' are embroidered in neon blue thread. The image includes the overlaid text: 'Playful, chaotic charm' and 'Digital Download Hand Embroidery Pattern.' A close-up photograph of a hand holding a circular embroidery hoop displaying the 'HOARDING GRUDGES' hand embroidery pattern. The design features a grumpy, stylized dragon outlined in orange and purple, sitting atop a pile of colorful neon gems, with the title embroidered in neon green. The image includes the overlaid text: 'Patterns include stitch guides' and 'Digital Download Hand Embroidery Pattern.'

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.

ko-fi.com/fraydikat/shop
A close-up photo of a finished hand embroidery project displayed in a wooden hoop laying on a purple and black patterned background. The design features a spooky, neon-style aesthetic on dark blue fabric with a purple-outlined bat with bright turquoise eyes, clutching a small pink bag decorated with a turquoise skull. Above the bat, the words "HEXPRESS DELIVERY" are embroidered in bright turquois3 thread, and below it is the word "KARMA". The design is accented with small yellow stars and a yellow crescent moon. To the left of the hoop, a spool of bright yellow embroidery floss and a pair of scissors rest on the fabric. The text "Pdf pattern" is overlaid in the top right corner. A hand embroidery piece displayed in a wooden hoop, held by a person's fingers against a bright green, leafy hedge background. The fabric is a mottled dark blue/black. The central design is a puroke-outlined potion bottle with bright turquoise liquid inside. The liquid contains a large, stylized eye surrounded by glowing turquoise and pink sparks and swirls. The bottle is sealed with an orange stopper and has a small, orange, rectangular tag hanging from the neck that says in capital letters, "WHEN YOU'RE DONE PLAYING NICE". Below the bottle, the words "ESSENCE OF CHAOS" are embroidered in pink thread. The entire design is accented with small embroidered symbols in yellow, including a star, an asterisk, a question mark, a percentage sign, a skull, and squiggly lines, all contributing to a spooky, magical, and colorful aesthetic. hand embroidery project displayed in a wooden hoop, resting on a purple and black patterned fabric. The embroidery is stitched on dark blue/black fabric and features a central design of a white spiderweb. A bright pink, stylized spider with small black eyes is positioned in the center of the web. The web is decorated with multi-colored stars and diamonds in turquoise, purple, and yellow. Above the spiderweb, the words "SPUN FROM" are embroidered in orange thread, and below the web, the word "SPITE" is also embroidered in orange. To the upper left of the hoop are spools of purple and orange embroidery floss and a pair of colorful, iridescent scissors.

I saw so many of my shirts at the No Kings protests! Thanks to everyone who tagged me on pictures, it's as if I was there.

I'm still trying to sell enough of them to get myself a new computer. With 80 more shirts to go, I'm about halfway there 🤩

Who else is too tired to play nice today?

Manifesting Mayhem is a mischievous feline familiar, ready to knock things over (literally or metaphorically) to make a point.

A close-up of an embroidery hoop on a purple, patterned fabric. The embroidery is on dark black and blue fabric and features a purple-outlined cat knocking over a glowing green potion bottle. The text "MANIFESTING" is embroidered in turquoise above the cat, and "MAYHEM" is below the cat. A pair of rainbow-colored embroidery scissors and two bobbins of floss are visible next to the hoop.

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.

Can we focus on attacking the horrific actions and policies of this admin, not their looks? Every time we make someone’s body the punchline, we hit people who’ve done nothing to deserve it.

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.

Anyone else out here surviving current events purely out of spite?

My spiteful spider weaves his web with glittering spite. He's gonna sparkle and shine, and he’ll be damned before he lets anyone erase him.
