The other day, I dusted off sewing machine.
Not just once, but twice in one day...
I sat down and put thread in fabric.
First, while Eva napped.
The second time, we were all upstairs.
Eva and her daddy were playing in her room.
I sat down to finish up a few last stitches.
Hoping I could get through this little bit before Eva noticed I was busy.
Soon, I felt little hands on my leg.
I sighed a little.
I was caught.
Eva climbed up in the chair behind me.
So much for finishing up.
I watch mommy?
Sure baby, you can watch.
She stood there, hands on my shoulders.
And I sewed on...
finishing up one piece and moving on to another.
I talked about what I was doing.
She listened.
Sewing mommy?
Yep, we are sewing.
Then, a little chin was on my shoulder.
It was one of those moments I didn't know I had been dreaming of...
until it was happening.
An ordinary moment...
that I almost sighed away.
Almost missed.
Michael picked up my camera and took some photos.
I was so happy later to find out he had.
I will never forget...
but she probably won't remember.
So glad I can show her...
her very first sewing lesson.
And another lesson for mommy...
on just relaxing and enjoying these little moments.
The best, are the ones you never expect.
