Halloween Treats Day 29: Watercolor Pumpkin Glares At Us!
Categories: Fun Time

This watercolor pumpkin, all carved for Halloween, could have been charming with its brushstrokes of pale color. Instead, he’s threatening and leering as we can see by his evil grin. What a great Halloween cross stitch pattern because All Hollows Eve is definitely meant to be a scary night, not a friendly one – in […]

Halloween Treats Day 28: Everything A Witch Needs
Categories: Fun Time

If you like witches, and I certainly do, you will love this simple Halloween cross stitch pattern of some of a witch’s best friends. There’s even a purple hat band with a gold buckle (is it REAL gold or not? we say ‘yes’). What self-respecting witch doesn’t want a pointed black hat? And of course, she […]

Halloween Treats Day 27: Terrifying Creature Claws Against The Moon
Categories: Fun Time

This isn’t a friendly and light-hearted Halloween cross stitch pattern. The sight of this clawed … something … against the moon is enough to give anyone a chill. First of all, the talons are long, sharp and clearly deadly. And notice the scales on the claws. Whatever this is, it’s clearly a predator and we have […]

Halloween Treats Day 26: Evil Grinning Skull Watercolor Pattern
Categories: Fun Time

This sinister Halloween cross stitch pattern depicts a grinning skull, and that grin isn’t a nice one! He looks as though he is anticipating some really terrible events that are coming our way. A skull isn’t a cheery sight anyway, but we’ve all seen enough of them to know that there are really creepy ones […]

Halloween Treats Day 25: Colorful Watercolor Halloween Ghost
Categories: Fun Time

This orange and gold watercolor ghost makes a great Halloween cross stitch pattern for several reasons. The main one, for me, is the color scheme. Almost everyone loves Mother Nature’s autumn theatrical production with her beautiful red, gold and orange leaves and our ghost below matches the theme of this annual fashion show.  Another reason to enjoy this […]

Halloween Treats Day 24: Evil Grinning Skull, 2 Versions
Categories: Fun Time

Today’s Halloween cross stitch pattern is an evil skull centered on a crinkled, antique background. And yes, he looks really threatening and not at all happy. I don’t want to meet him – do you? He is reminiscent of the famed pirate flag and we see movies today that make light of these savage individuals. […]

Halloween Treats Day 23: A Lady Watercolor Autumn Pumpkin
Categories: Fun Time

We think this adorable, grinning Halloween pumpkin is a lady pumpkin, rather than a man? Why? Because of the blue watercolor in the image which definitely resembles hair. And who’s to say that hairy pumpkins aren’t blue headed? Regardless, she’s a fun cross stitch pattern to make. With her friendly, if mostly toothless, grin and […]

Halloween Treats Day 22: An Adorable Watercolor Ghost
Categories: Fun Time

Our adorable watercolor ghost absolutely couldn’t be any friendlier! And she/he/it is a fascinating Halloween cross stitch pattern because of all the speckles of color that our artist added to the painting.   We often think of ghosts like those who met with Scrooge … chains dragging, moans, terrible misery in the afterlife. But this […]

Halloween Treats Day 21: High Fashion Grinning Halloween Pumpkin
Categories: Fun Time

This is a watercolor painting of a very fashionable pumpkin who makes a great Halloween cross stitch pattern for you to stitch. He obviously thinks he’s a fashion plate with his adorable little hat, complete with trailing leaves (are those ivy?) His grin isn’t unfriendly. Actually, we think he looks proud of himself. And why […]

This beautiful Halloween witch certainly doesn’t fit the stereotypical hag with the ugly face, the huge nose and a bad attitude. Instead, she is a cheerful and fun Halloween cross stitch pattern, complete with all the colors of the autumnal season in this version. She is just so pretty! With her thick red hair, her green […]
