grandma’s…

…pin cushion

from her sewing kit

there are many - items i inherited - down from my - grandma which i find - both unusual as well - as endearing and - always they bring - up a plethora of - memories and stories - which wash over - me so vividly - it’s as though - i’m standing on - the precipice of them - and leaning in - watching them happen - all over again - some memories are - just that way - they can transport - you back in time - like it was yesterday - and you’re reliving - a piece of history - yet it’s only in - your minds eye

such is the case - with this little - squirrel pin cushion - which grandma had with her - every time she - did any kind of sewing project - be it with the sewing - machine or something - by hand that she - was working on - it would be by her - side or in - her lap so she - could grab a pin - quite easily and fast - it now no longer - sits completely upright - but at a slight - angle from the many - years of pushing - and pulling it endured - but the pins - still in it - are ones which - were grandma’s and will - remain there because - that’s what makes it…

a

happy day…..
