Update: I just added a photo of my finished bat project - finished except for adding a caption to it, which I am hoping you will help me with. Read on...

I am stitching the free Bat Cross Stitch pattern right now - the cross stitch version. I was thinking of adding a batty saying to it. One friend (@beefranck on Twitter) suggested, "They go for the hair. THEY GO FOR THE HAIR." That one is pretty funny (Goonies reference)!

My ideas were a little lame. "You drive me batty." or "You've got bats in the bellfry." If you were adding a caption to this design, what would it be? Share it using the comments section below.

I’m sure this’ll get deleted because it could be considered inappropriate, but the first thing I thought when you mentioned it was, “I’m so goth, I sh*t bats.” :D

Note from Connie – I didn’t delete it – see! I just edited it a tiny bit!

Only thing I can think of is “Out for Blood”.

Not good, but maybe it will inspire.

I’m Batman!! It is funny you should post this one now, I just started my own management company for bands and it is called “BatManagement”! My boys always tell everyone that I am Batman, so that is why we named it that! Can’t wait to stitch this one ;)
