Punchy

 

In the package 57 Pumpkin sent last week were these punch needle things which included the lap stand. I've really been struggling with the whole concept but on one boring rainy afternoon I decided to give this one a try. It's not like mine. My kit uses a big needle and thick wool on monk's cloth. This one has a fine needle. It's printed on even weave and you use embroidery floss. The printed pattern is always on the wrong side in case you're wondering why it looks so bad. 

This is the right side. Since The Mister and I were having words over something stupid that day I was feeling a bit stabby. Luckily for him, I got to work out my feelings on the cloth instead of on him. 

I also spent a few minutes stabbing my mug rugs. 

It's very therapeutic. I should pencil in some punching time every day.
