Personalised Gifts...

I'm still working on my fabric situation and with the move to London happening very soon, my cash flow is mostly being put in to a nice savings account that sees I don't become homeless!
So while I await more funds to buy fabric and also finish the fabric I have, I thought I would share with you something I recently found that I love.

This funky personalised phone cover is from notonthehighstreet.com which is a really cool online shop that have lots of different sellers selling cool and quirky products. I suppose it's a bit more of an upmarket Etsy. The company that make this is Pickle Pie gifts, and they also have lots of other really amazing personalised gifts.
This phone cover caught my eye as I'm really into personalised belongings at the moment. Whether it be chains that have your name printed (like Carrie's), cushions with a photo of your choice (I do have a Pearl cushion!). What I really like about this personalised product is you can enter little snippets about yourself or the person your buying the gift for.
I will definitely be putting this or the personalised print on my Christmas list, before I do so I did get thinking about what 16 things I love and what I would include on this? At first I struggled as for some reason when someone puts me on the spot about my favourite things my mind seems to go blank and I can't remember a thing! As I am moving to London, I will be looking for a new job and I must admit I did struggle thinking about what my duties are in my job at the moment...not because I don't do anything, quite the opposite I'm always really busy I just seem to be so indecisive I can't quite remember what doing?
So anyway I have decided on my 16 loves, I have probably missed out lots of important ones but nevermind this is the list as of today!!
**Lauren Loves**

So now you know a bit more about me, and also if you fancied getting me a personalised gift from notonthehighstreet I would much appreciate it!!
Lots of love,

EEEEK!!!


Hi all, I know I said stay tuned I have something cool to show you. Well it went a bit wrong, I was trying to dye my fabric a nice baby pink. I thought I would give a go dying fabric with food colouring. I know it sounds a bit stupid but I could get to the shop to buy actual fabric dye and thought why not lets give it a go I have some pink food colouring.

Well as you may have gathered it didn't really work and still looks white, if you try and look hard enough a tinge of pink is there but not what I want.

As I said last time, I don't really like the cotton anyway as it doesn't seem like scarf fabric, I might need to do a bit of research. 

Anyhow, I would leave you with this cute picture below. As you can tell I have been researching tea cups!


Hopefully next time I will have my awesome scarf to show you.

Lots of love,
