Its nearly Christmas......



Just a quick post for you all, can you believe its DECEMBER tomorrow! Another year of blogging is quickly coming to an end and another year begins... So with Christmas emerging I thought I best get my Squirrel Stockings on my Etsy Shop. They have been to my Christmas events with me so far. It is fair to say I love printing a lot more than sewing but it was a nice change.



The stockings come in a white, burgundy and red trim. At the moment they are only listed in white and red. I am hoping to list the burgundy ones tomorrow along with my Christmas cards :) I hope you like!

Living North Fair 2013!



Well on the 14th of November began an extremely busy weekend for Lauren Cherice Designs. The Living North Fair at York Racecourse. I was slightly nervous on what to expect as this was my biggest event to date. 


At Living North I was launching some new designs and ideas. The first being my Robin design featured on tea towels (seen above) cushions, cards, prints and tote bags. I do love the robin design as its slightly different to my other prints being a two tone. 


Also for this event I have a new selection of flyers. With social media growing rapidly it is quite difficult to get all relevant information onto a tiny business card. Therefore I opted for a leaflet. After an afternoons work my stand was ready for the weekend ahead...


                                                  What do you think?



Furthermore, I also had my Christmas card designs being launched. Mr Duck in his hat seemed to catch many peoples eyes and I was over the moon that he completely sold out! I hope he puts a smile on people's faces when they receive him at Christmas. 

I was also so excited to find out I was featured in last months Living North Magazine on their Living North Loves Page. Yay! The feature has definitely been one of Lauren Cherice Designs' highlights so far along its journey. 


Here are some more shots from the event :)





My Stockings also made their first appearance. Overall it was a great weekend. I am very happy with how the event went. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet people and discuss screen printing and my work. It was also interesting to see which designs people liked the most and what designs people would like to see. 


I also brought home my little sign as a souvenir. It would of only gone in the bin I'm sure ;)

Thank you for everyone who came by to visit and have supported Lauren Cherice Designs so far.

CCAD Fashion Christmas Fair!



This week I was contacted by one of the Fashion Enterprise Students at CCAD about their Christmas Fair. 
They are showcasing their work at Graduate fashion week in London, this upcoming June - however in order to do this they need to raise roughly £10,000. 
To start their fundraising they are holding a Christmas fair at Springs leisure centre, Hartlepool, on 7th of December. There we will be a fab range of stalls selling a range of handmade products, as well as holding a raffle etc. 
The fair is 12-7pm and is such a great reason to go! 
To request a stall, check out the details on the poster! Get yourselves there!

Christmas Designers Marketplace!


















The count down has begun on the high street for Christmas but if you like buying gifts that have something crafty and quirky about them. This is where you are sure to find something... The annual Christmas Designers Marketplace.

I am very excited to announce this year I will be having my debut as Lauren Cherice Designs! I haven't done any craft events as a solo designer so I am very nervous but excited! I will be taking my hand printed tote bags, cushions, a selection of cards, prints and some other bits and bobs! All based on my original drawings from over the past few years.

Including myself, there will be a total of 60 stalls from talented designers/ artists from around the region! So when is it.... Get the 15th December in your Diary, at Middlesbrough Town Hall!

It would be great if some of my North East friends could make it!

Living two hours away from Middlesbrough I hope the weather behaves itself! Or I will be asking for Santa to visit me to get me there!

HandMade in York by Pedally Steve!



Recently I had a lovely visit to York for a brief catch up with my friend Annie Potter. My Macbook went in for repair in Newcastle and she kindly met me to save me the long journey back up North. Whilst looking around we came across this guy- Pedally Steve. He was definitely a character. The man produces hand made name signs. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my post of the one I got made if not you can see it below. 

I aren't sure if the videos capture how fast his machine was actually going but it was SO fast! I can't believe he hasn't lost a finger! When we went back to get my name done it was 3 o'clock, he had been working since 10am without a break! Every name he produced had the same style font he is a very talented man. I got a few names done for some special people as little gifts. 





I especially love mine and it has its own pride and place on my desk :)
