No- no- - - NOTORIOUS

I designed and executed this little sassafras while house-sitting one Halloween season. Without access to my sewing machine or trove of fabric, cross-stitch fit the bill for a mobile project. This quote, of course, is arguably one of the finer lines from one of the finer Halloween movies out there, Donnie Darko. It’s a good reminder to take stock of your priorities in life, especially your 12 year-old daughter’s dance group.

55 stitches tall x 76 stitches wide.
Floss colors: light green and dark green, whatever you want for writing, whatever color you want for the rosebud.
Suggested playlist: Duran Duran, Echo & The Bunnymen, Tears for Fears, and Joy Division.

Coming Soon: Keyboard Cat

Here’s what you should use this cross-stitch for: incorporate it into the reverse side of a lovely decorative pillow for your bed. If your paramour fails to impress you in aforementioned bed, you simply need to reach up, flip the pillow over, and show them keyboard cat. Modern relationships are built on clear communication, after all! Apply cool water to burn.

80 stitches tall x 107 stitches wide.

Floss Colors: Black, White, burnt sienna, dark orange, light blue, dark blue
