Alcomog

Hello there! My name is Lucy/Alcomog. I am 31 and live in the south of England. I work full time as a Haberdashery Specialist. I enjoy swapping stuff, making bags out of recycled fabric, listening to lots of music, watching films, walking, reading books, baking, cats, cake and using Postcrossing.com (which i highly recommend!).

I joined Swap Bot primarily as a way to discover songs and artists i doubt i would ever have heard of, but also looking for other swaps at the same time!

MY LIKES:

*Moomins!!! * Rain.
* Eating ice cream in the rain. * Standing in just a tshirt and jeans with bare feet in a summer shower. * Walking home in the rain, taking my time about it. * Gale force winds. * Standing into the wind. * Sunshine and blue skies. * Cloud formations and sky colouration in the spring and autumn. * Looking at the moon when it is really big, or orange, or red. * Snow. *Being the first to walk in snow. Then finding bird feet marks and realising i was beaten to it. * Watching my cat's curiosity by patting her foot on the snow, then shaking it. * Sliding down snowy hillsides on a tin tray. * Making snow angels and snowmen. * Trying to give my snowmen anime faces. * My boyfriend Dan and my family. * Cats Missy, Spice, Guinness and Taz. * Dogs Lucy and Shadow. * Days off work. * My job. * Making purses and jewellery. * I'm just getting interested in making quilted purses right now.
