I just came up with this one: Speak of the devil in the details.
And on the radio the other day a guy said "we shouldn't paint with broad brushes."
Kevin used the expression "I dug a hole and now I have to sleep in it."
This made me think of "You shit where you eat, and now you have to sleep in it."

A few that I thought of recently:
Out of the pan and into the kettle black
On the bleeding edge of your seat
Raining teeth and nails

Ciamh came up with a good one (accidentally I might add):
There's a lot of red tape to jump through

Cracked
Just talking to my friend Chloe about applying to grad schools, and I used the expression: "Putting all your eggs in someone else's basket."
