Sewing

I've been doing some more sewing these past couple of weeks:

 I also signed up for a purse class at a new fabric store in downtown Woodstock.  I'm really excited because this fabric store is for garments and children's clothing instead of just quilting.  So I will finally have a place that sells corduroy in the winter and children's patterns and fabrics.   This is the purse I will be making:

On Saturday, the girls and I went to 1/2 off day at a consignment sale.  Emily spent some of her allowance money for the first time.  She bought 3 grab bags of Pet Shop pets to add to her collection:

 I was also able to buy several Tag Reader books for Abigail's upcoming birthday.  It came with a 2nd tag reader so I went ahead and gave them some of the books and the 2nd tag reader and they played with them all weekend.  Looks like after this sale I made $175 . . . not bad.

We also made homemade pizza for lunch.  Abigail helped me make it.  It turned out yummy:

Some of our friends from church are moving to Minnesota so we had a girls night out on Saturday and then several families went to lunch together on Sunday after church to say goodbye.  We sure will miss them!

We have now completed 3 1/2 weeks of school!  This Friday Emily will have a day off so we are all looking forward to that.  Abigail will still have school so Emily has already requested that she be allowed to paint and play with play-doh while I'm working and Abigail is at school : )    Emily is doing well and still enjoying going each morning.  Her teacher is super organized so I've been pleased with that.  Tonight I will go to the curriculum night at school to meet with her teacher.
