Goings on . . .

We've been busy with fall activities!  I love this time of year!  Last week I surprised Emily by meeting her for lunch at school:
 After school the girls got haircuts and we went for ice cream.  Tuesday is Joe's late night so I have discovered that we all do better on Tuesday if we get out of the house for a bit and go to a park or get ice cream or an errand, etc.  Otherwise we all get a little stir crazy before Dad gets home : )
On Saturday afternoon Abigail decided to give it up and take a nap at 4:00!  So I let her sleep for a little bit but then woke her up so she wouldn't be up all night.  She was out so it took a while to get her to wake up:
On Sunday morning the girls played with fabric until it was time to get ready for church.  They really do play well together.  All of this fabric makes for a lovely mess in the computer/sewing room, but I love how much fun they have with it:
 
I am also super excited about this purchase!  I ordered it last week while it was on sale with a 30% off coupon and a $25 rebate.  I'm so excited to be the proud owner of one.  I made my first cup of tea in it tonight:
In sewing news I made a dress for Abigail to match Emily's and they wore them on Sunday:
 On Sunday afternoon, I took a purse construction class and made this purse.  I am very proud with the results.  I love taking sewing classes.  If I could afford it I would take one a month!

 A few weeks ago I made these bags for a friend at church.  They are bags for her daughters:
