Finally finished a needlework project

62. That's why I'm so careful. Growing up, we had a huge Siamese cat named Koko. Mom had brought

out her sewing kit for some reason and walked away from the basket for a minute. When she got back she couldn't find her big darning needle and Koko was looking suspicious. My folks took him to the vet immediately, fearing the worst. I still remember that x-ray of Koko's stomach with that huge darning needle in it. Luckily, he had swallowed its blunt end first so there was no damage. The vet operated on him that day and he recovered well. I've been paranoid about cats and needles ever since. That's why I put it away when Sammy comes around even though tapestry needles are blunt.
