Needle vs Tooth

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 @caffetto 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. @lonniedi 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.} 

Thanks for stopping by.

Have you gotten a chipped tooth fixed before? Is there anything I should know? 🦊
