Hi there! 😊😊 My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is progression photos of my first ever punch needling project; a cute Highland Cow 🐄🐄 Hope you like!

I must admit, it was slightly tricky at first to get the hang of punch needling, the method, as I have never done it before! My idea was that it’d be an easy introduction to embroidery, as a beginner friendly craft. Once I got familiar with the guide; how to install the embroidery hoop, thread the yarn properly, remembering to punch the needle all the way through, poking in a consistent direction etc, it was relatively straight forward getting into the rhythm of it. Any mistakes can be quickly rectified anyway by pulling back the yarn a little and redoing that particular poke. Here is the finished result:

I am pretty satisfied with my first punch needle attempt! In hindsight, it might have been better to have chosen a design less intricate. With a simpler design and larger segments for example it might have been easier to learn. Also, I believe I will obtain more therapeutic enjoyment i.e. the associative stress relieving effects with more basic a pattern, as they’d be more repetitive movements. Hopefully I will get a few bought for Christmas 🎄🎄😜😜 and I might even progress onto more difficult embroidery! 💕💕

For my next UnicornPostbox blog post, I have a Christmas ‘Winter Stag’ pub painting 🎨🎨 next Saturday! I am also going to make a start on my next diamond art 💎, which will probably be my unicorn one 🦄🦄

Thank you as always for checking out my blog 💕💕 Lots of love, Lauren xx
