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.

Back to English again, otherwise many people won't understand a thing I'm writing about. I realize my English needs improvement and I apologize to those who are native English speakers. Please correct me on mistakes...

One of my best friends is one of my best customers. Whenever she needs a birthdaypresent or a new summeroutfit she comes to ask me to sew something (thanks 'Inkie' !) Many times she brings along some piece of cloth; an old curtain from her childhood or her 'worn out' shirt. Last week I made a hip schoolbag out of a seventies baby sleeping bag for almost 4 year old Evi. I love those commissions !
In 5 days it'll be my birthday. Shall I make myself a new birthday skirt?
