SORRY THINGS ARE QUIET AND SLOW

Hello to all my wonderful friends. Again im here to appologise for not being here if that makes any sense at all lol...Im still not feeling great and im having episodes again of not being able to move or open my eyes but being aware of whats going on around me its not a fun feeling and very un nerving to say the least, Its not a new feeling just one i havent had in a while it generally means my heads full again lol.... but all joking aside the pressure is probably too high again im seeing my new doc on 1st feb which seems a long time away but im hanging in there until then. Theres still no great improvement to report on my cat and rabbit but i think thats as good as its going to get so long as theres no other problems with them fingers crossed they should be ok.
I have ordered a smaller needlepunch tool which im eager to recieve i just want to try punch embroidery if anyone knows anything or does punch embroidry i would love to know more about it i have lots of aida and canvas from my normal embroidery is it possible to use this or do i need another kind of fabric to stitch on also if any of you do needlefelting please can you help me with this like how long do i have to poke the work for i tried making a mini rabbit and cat but they didnt turn out that way lol...
any tips or help please i would be grateful

  1. Hi Rachel - sorry to hear things are not so good right now. Here's a big {{{{hug}}} x
    I think needle punching is different to needle felting in that punching is for flat objects, eg rugs, and needle felting is for 3D objects. Use a closely woven fabric for needle punching - it's quite hypnotic once you get a rhythm going! Take care, Allison x

  5. Hi Rachel - I don't think evenweave and linen would do for needlepunching as the weave is too loose. I used to use a plain cotton - I think it was actually an old school shirt of the boys, so that type of fabric. Let us see how you get on with it, Allison x
