birthday

It was my birthday the other day and I got these nice Collégien slippers which I had on my wishlist for quite some time.  The colour combination is wonderful. So the last couple of days I'm walking through the house with a curved neck and my nose on my shoes - looking a bit strange and being it a bit awkward - but I'm enjoying my slippers to the fullest!! Around the ankles the sock is a bit short, so I advice you to buy the longer sock ones for extremely cold days.

camera deficiency

Picture update!

I had a lovely birthday. Regrettably I had no time to sew a new skirt (will do so later)... but I was spoiled with drawings and a huge cut-out cardboard birthdaycake from my children and a new pocketsize digital camera, hurray! And now I am home alone (the kids stay at my mother's), my husband took the (old) camera during his sailing weekend and I can't manage to download any pictures from my new camera!

I was busy the past few days stamping shirts, sewing 3-in-1 playkits (jugglingballs, also suitable for throwing cans, a sack for marbles), going through my closets picking out toys, clothes and shoes to sell on the 'Queensday market' April 30.

Did you follow the news; the man that attempted to attack the Dutch royal family in Apeldoorn on Queensday, making many (civilian) victims.... So sad.
