Ka-pow!

This is the beginning of a punch embroidery project kit I found at a thrift store about a month ago for 2$.  This one will be a snowy winter scene and I also picked up another one with a beach scene.  I hadn't heard of punch embroidery until I got the kits.

  

You start with a smooth piece of thread and pull at it until it looks like a curly piece of thread.  Figuring that out to get started was the hardest part!  Once the thread is unraveled I threaded it onto a long needle type thing that is about the size of a pen.  The needle is threaded in such a way that you just have to punch the threaded needle into the fabric, pull up, drag to the next spot on your fabric and repeat.  It's really similar to latch rug hooking.

I started a vintage craft kit group on flickr but have had a teeny tiny bit of trouble uploading photos.  All the same, you can check it out here if you'd like even though there is only one image.  I am the lone member so far!
