Today I had plans to visit friends who just bought a house in Temecula (sooo happy for them!). Since it's only about 15 minutes down the freeway I thought I'd do some errands then stop by and say hi. Well, the only two errands on my list today were the post office (to mail off some onesies I just finished) and Joann's (to pick up some new fabric). Simple enough right? Ha! First stop, post office. In, out, easy, done. Next is Joann's...
I get to Joann's to find out they are having a 40% off sale on their fabrics - score! Now, as I walk in, there is something nagging me at the back of my mind...something I told myself to remember when I got there. Should have written it down, preggo. As I begin browsing fabrics and putting way too many things in my cart, I can hear over the intercom the numbers being called for people who are getting their fabric cut. "Number 3, now serving customer #3 at the cutting table..." Not thinking anything of it, I continue to look at throw fabric in my cart. Mind you, there's that nagging in the back of my mind again. What was I supposed to remember??
I finish hoarding choosing fabrics and make my way to the cutting table. Hmm, there seems to be a lot of people waiting. Nagging again. I glance at my number...40...what the?! I look up to see that they are currently helping customer #6!! Are you kidding me right now?! THEN IT HITS ME...that nagging in the back of my mind. I was supposed to take a number right when I got there then start browsing for what I needed! This Joann's is notorious for being sloooow at the cutting counter. Should have written it down, preggo. Ugh. Now what? Am I really gonna wait for another 34 people to be called?? I wander the store for a while to kill time but realize that I am putting even more crap stuff into my cart because I might need it soon. So I walk back to the cutting counter and wait. And wait. And wait. I think I waited almost 45 minutes. No joke! It was definitely a lesson in patience. Not one that I hope to repeat any time soon.
Here's the fabric I waited all afternoon for:
Here are some of the latest onesies I made:
