A Home for Ruby-isms

When my siblings and I were little, my mom dutifully recorded most of the funny things we said and did on a yellow legal pad.  We have since read over pages and pages of this comical material and have laughed hysterically over a lot of it.

I knew I wanted to carry on this recording of funny memories, and I thought about how I wanted to do it for awhile.  I ended up purchasing a beautiful journal that I am going to modify with my own scrapbooking stuff in order to personalize it for Ruby (and different journals for any future children).  Most of the things I will record in it won't come until Ruby has a vocabulary with more than 20 words, but yesterday she did something that I felt should be recorded.

I spent the afternoon and evening doing some shopping with Leanne and of course we stopped at Joann Fabric (and proceeded to spend an eternity in there as well as a miniature fortune).  In order to get your fabric cut, you take a numbered ticket and wait for your number to be called.  Whoever held #9 created a minor panic attack for the lady calling numbers, and she called out "NINE!NINE!NINE!NINE!" in such a distressed manor I worried for her heart's well-being.  And right on cue, Ruby repeated right after her, "NINE!NINE!NINE!"  It was a little embarassing for me because it certainly was yelled and everyone was staring-Ruby appears to be a little more outgoing than I am, but it was funny nonetheless.

And yes, more yarn was purchased at Joann's.  I may have enough yarn to last me until I am 90 years old when knitting would be considered age appropriate.  I told you-I can slowly seeing this becoming a slight obsession.  The good news is, I have lots of color and texture options for all of these hats I plan to create.   I like to have choices.

And on that note, I ordered some totally cute business cards to promote my etsy shop so I'm completely commited to this now.  The only thing missing is about 12 more arms so that I could knit several hats in one go. 

Might be waiting on that missing element for awhile.
