Today's Note to Self

[tortugaquilter]

I often do notes to myself in my head. I am hand quilting today, so today's note to self was: Either quit putting the needle in your mouth when pulling out more thread from the spool, or don't sneeze. Pick one.

The sneeze was unexpected, but fortunately I was able to find the needle once I blew it out of my mouth. Unlike the two needles I lost last week. No one wants to sit in my seat on the couch because of those two. (They haven't figure out my plot to take over the couch yet.)

Back to stitching.

Too funny....

I was cleaning the other day and found a couple I didn't even know I had lost!!

How funny! My mother told me not to cut thread with my teeth, after 60 years of not listening to her, my tooth chipped. Today I had the damage repaired, and reminded by the dentist NOT TO CUT THREAD with my teeth!

I'm back because this has bothered me - I am sure thankful that needle wasn't inhaled. Oh, the images in my mind.

I need to hunt around for "lost" pins each time the cats come visiting. They both like to pull them out of my "cushion".. Warning. Don't go bare foot when you enter the sewing area/s.

That was my thoughts too because before I sneeze I always seem to take a deep breath.

Yes I was thankful I didn't inhale. I know it is a bad habit, but my mother always had pins and needles in her mouth when she sewed, so I just followed in her footsteps.

If I don't have a thread in those darn size 10 needles I can't find them to thread, so I hold them in my mouth.

Youngest son learned the hard way about walking around when I have lost a needle.

My sewing area is part of my living room, even though I have an extra bedroom. I don't have cable tv or such and I have one tv hooked to an antenna in my living room. Since I am alone 75% of the time, I like to have the television on to keep me company, therefore the living room can be a mine field of pins and needles.

I hope everyone is having a terrific day.
