Pins in mah mouf
I was sewing recently and realized that I was putting the pins in my mouth instead of in the magnetic pin "cushion" that was sitting closer to my hand than my mouth was. I don’t know if I do this a lot and just don’t realize it. I think its one of those automatic things that I do without thinking. But realizing that I quite literally had a mouth ful of pins made me think about my mom and how she would always stick pins in her mouth instead of in the pincushion. I loved watching her do it. I loved how she could talk out of half of her mouth without dropping a single pin. I loved how she looked so focused and determined when she sewed. I remember wanting to be just like her when I grew up. In this small way, I guess I am.
