About me

Gender Female
Industry Fashion
Occupation Needlewoman,bag designer/maker
Location Formby, Merseyside, United Kingdom
Introduction It seems I have had some reincarnations on the way:student, mother, single parent and career woman (albeit on a small local government scale)and now this person who is quite obsessed with collecting all sorts of pretty and interesting things to design and make handbags. It is so exciting and satisfying to build up an accessory like a handbag; I also like to give them names and imagine the person and occasion they might go to. Well then there are my friends and family in England and back in Germany which are part of me and support me in my reincarnation as a magpie/bagmaker. Find me on esty and folksy; http://www.folksy.com/shops/AlikiBags http://www.etsy.com/shop/AlikiBags
Interests So many interests, so little time...mainly walking and cycling with my dog, reading, gardening, food and cooking, designing and sewing handbags, collecting materials which instantly inspire a possible bag design, keeping contact with friends, learning about the possibilities of this to me very new cyber world.
Favorite Movies How could I be so specific? Jules&Jim(giving my age away), Dr.Strangelove and how I learned to love the bomb, Gentlemen prefer blondes, the 1st Star Wars, The Reader, and so on...
Favorite Music mainly classical, not too modern, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, - it bores even myself to go on. Some pop, recently Muse and David Grey.
Favorite Books Where could I start? I used to read a great deal but now my life has changed so much and I do so many pleasurable things, there seems to be less time, energy and inclination to read. Used to love Thomas Mann, Guenther Grass, Doris Lessing, Tolkin.
