Some of you may remember that Sharna is volunteering in Kenya next year 🖤

She’s currently trying to raise the funds for her first instalment, with £650 needed by 1st July… so honestly, every single penny really does count right now.

She’s started uploading more items onto her Vinted to help towards the costs, so if you’d like to support her journey, please give her account a follow (and maybe even a little browse 🙈).

And if you’re local and spot anything you’d like, just drop me a message—we’re more than happy for collection & cash payments to help save on postage fees too.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s already supported her so far. It genuinely means a lot 🖤

One community, thousands of brands, and a whole lot of second-hand style. Ready to get started? Here’s how it works.

Honestly… this one always makes me laugh 😂

My cheeky personalised mugs are now officially live on my Etsy store 🖤

You can have it as Daddy’s, Grandad’s, Papa’s—whatever feels right—and add your little ones’ names to make it properly personal. Up to 6 names, with your choice of colours too.

It’s one of those gifts that’s a bit of fun, a bit honest… and guaranteed to get a reaction when it’s opened.

Perfect for Father’s Day, birthdays, or just because.

If you’ve been waiting for these to land—they’re there now 🙌
I’ll pop the link in the comments.

And as always, if you want to tweak anything or make it your own, just send me a message… we’ll figure it out 🖤

My reason why… 🖤

It’s been a while since I’ve shared something like this, and with so many new faces here, it felt like the right time.

Honestly… this business didn’t start as a business.

It started as me just wanting my kids to have something that felt theirs.

From being about 14/15, I’d always loved art and design. I knew I wanted to do something creative—but I also knew I didn’t want to end up working for a big corporate company, just ticking boxes. I wanted to use it to make people smile… that was always the goal.

Then life happened.

At 18, I had my first baby—my beautiful girl, Sharna. I’d chosen her name because it felt a bit different… but that also meant you could never find anything personalised with her name on it.

And as a young mum, money was tight. So things like that just weren’t an option.

The next few years were a bit of a blur—moving, changing jobs, juggling everything… just trying to keep up, really.

Then came Jenson, then Kimmie-Rae, then Ayrton… and if you know, you know—none of those names are exactly “walk into a shop and pick it up” kind of names.

Everything had to be custom. And everything was expensive.

By 2018, I hit a really low point. Postnatal depression completely knocked me. I wasn’t working, I had three little ones at home, and everything just felt… heavy.

I needed something. Something that was mine.

I’d been doing crochet for a while—making blankets and bits for people—but it wasn’t enough to make a real difference.

So I went back to what I’d always loved—design.

Late nights, teaching myself, figuring things out as I went… and eventually I saved enough to buy my first Cricut machine.

And honestly… that was it.

I wasn’t thinking about a business. I just wanted to make my kids things they couldn’t have before.

The first things I made were birthday tops for Jenson and Kimmie-Rae.

Then my husband asked for some work hoodies… and next thing, he’d posted them on Facebook and people started asking if I could make things for them too.

That’s how LCM Designs started in 2019.

Nothing fancy. Just word of mouth, and people trusting me to create something for them.

And that’s never really changed.

7 years on, another baby later, and we’re still here.

This business pulled me out of one of the darkest times in my life. It gave me something to focus on, something to build, and something that was mine.

And more than that—it’s let me help other people create things that actually mean something.

That’s always been the point.

Keeping things affordable.
Making things personal.
Doing it properly.

So if you’ve ever ordered, liked, shared, or even just followed along—thank you. It genuinely means more than you probably realise.

And honestly… we’re only just getting started 🖤

Leavers season is just around the corner… and honestly, these are such a lovely way to mark it 🎓

Personalised 2026 leavers keyrings—simple, thoughtful, and something they can actually keep.

The design is made to stand out without being over the top… bold balloon-style numbers for 2026, finished with a subtle gold “leaver” detail underneath, and a personalised name across the top to make it properly theirs.

You’ve got over 30 colours to choose from too, so you can match school colours, favourites, or just go with what feels right.

Introductory offer of just £3.00 each—perfect if you’re ordering for a group, class, or end-of-year gifts.

If you’ve got a list ready (or even if you don’t yet), send it over and we’ll figure it out together 🖤

Honestly… I cannot wait to make this one for Father’s Day 😂

It just feels so right—a little bit cheeky, a little bit honest, and definitely something he’ll actually laugh at every time he uses it.

That’s the thing with personalised pieces like this… they’re not just “nice gifts”, they actually mean something (even if that meaning is slightly chaotic 🙈).

Already picturing his face when he opens it—and I know it’s going to be a good one.

If you’ve got an idea like this for Father’s Day, send it over.
We’ll figure it out and make it exactly how you want it 🖤

Today has been one of those strange days where time just seems to disappear! Somehow the day flew by, but the good news is all orders are up to date and finished. 🙌

I’m now home, snuggled under a blanket on the sofa while hubby is cooking tea — the perfect way to wind down. 😊

I’m officially signing off for the night, but tomorrow I’ll be spending some time reviewing my Etsy shop and exploring other places where I can advertise or sell my products.

If you know of any good alternatives to Etsy, or places where you've had success promoting your products, I’d love to hear your suggestions — drop them in the comments! 👇

For now though, I’m saying goodnight and will tackle tomorrow head-on when it arrives. 🤣
