The needle won.
I was having a pretty enjoyable time embroidering for the first time but then something unexpected happened. I fucking chipped my front tooth. It’s not too bad, a few people at were telling me that it’s barely noticeable. It does feel a little weird and sensitive.
I was at a stopping point in my project but I couldn’t get the needle through one part of the rose. I decided to bite down on the tip of the needle and pull it through. It seemed like a good idea since my fingers kept slipping. I’m sure they’re still tired from bouldering the other day. I heard a crunch sound in my mouth, reached up to feel a sand like texture on my fingertips and knew that something was wrong.
I’ve always been the person who didn’t have time to look for a pair of scissors to open things or cut through small strings with. Maybe I learned this habit from my parents. did give me some words of comfort by saying, “Actually, I resort to my teeth for a lot of things.” Thanks girl. Now I feel less stupid but it doesn’t change the fact that I need to get it fixed before it gets worse. There goes my hard earned money which will be raining down on a local dental practice.
On a brighter note, check out this little design I was working on. Not too bad for my first try.
Now I’m gonna go home, curl up into a little ball in bed and try to get my mind off this foreign feeling in my mouth.
