Hello customizers,
I wanted to introduce myself as the new owner now that I have settled in. I am Elise and I am looking forward to helping everyone out with their customizing needs.
If there are products you need that we do not sell, then please tell me what you want to buy as I am always happy to listen to your request and then I might stock that product.
Warmest regards

Hey Everyone,
It is with a heavy heart that I am “officially” announcing that www.mylittlecustoms.com will shortly be up for sale.
I am looking to pursue a brand new venture, My Little Customs keeps me so very busy that I simply do not have the time I need so something has to give. Unfortunately, my baby, My Little Customs is that thing.
Therefore, My Little Customs will be up for sale as a going concern.
Whilst it is for sale, please be assured that I will continue to run it as long as needs be so there will be no interruption in service, no huge closing down sale, no dramas so please DO NOT PANIC! I will be here as long as I am needed
Full details will be made available shortly, however, in brief the sale will consist of the following:
My Little Customs still has fantastic potential to grow, it is currently the 3rd largest hair stockist globally and is the largest site in the UK, it has a great customer base, superb reputation, amazing amount of traffic and has a great web presence.
It can be fully relocated to anywhere in the world and would be ideal for someone who wishes to simply run it as is, take it to the next step and realise its full potential or even combine with another complimentary business.
I truly hope it finds a fabby new owner who can continue to provide the best level of service.
The full advert, spec and pricing will be released into the public domain shortly, however, any interested parties are invited to contact me privately beforehand should they wish.
Hey everyone,
Quick update to say that My Little Customs will be not processing any orders from tomorrow (29th April) through to Monday (May 2nd) as both these days are public holidays and the Post Office is shut!
All orders and emails will be attended to on TUESDAY MAY 3rd.
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend – fingers crossed the sunshine stays!

2 things will be happening this week – firstly, we are switching internet providers (I am sure everyone knows what a pain in the backside that can be!!) – this is due to happen on Wednesday, we have been assured that we will still have the internet up until Saturday … fingers crossed this is true!
I am sure the internet will switch over smoothly, and that there will be no interruption … however, as it can supposedly take up to 14 days to switch over, I thought it was worth mentioning just in case!
Secondly, we are headed off on our Easter break next week, therefore, the last day for shipping orders will be THIS FRIDAY, April 8th.
You can of course still place orders during this time but please note, no emails will be answered and all orders placed after April 8th will not be processed and shipped until MONDAY APRIL 18th.

The new website is now LIVE!!
Thank you ALL for your patience and understanding <3

As many, many, MANY of you have found, my website shopping cart has lots of glitches at the moment, the primary one being that it is not allowing you to add items to your cart by giving out a “Temporarily” message. This has been hugely frustrating for everyone and here at My Little Customs HQ we are struggling to find the cause of the problem.
As a solution, I have decided to completely move the website to a new home until we can fix the errors. This will mean that everything should work properly (fingers crossed!) and takes the immediate pressure off my website designer as his wife has recently had a brand new baby 
I have MASSIVELY under estimated how long it will take to transfer all the products and information across, I had rather hoped to have the site live by now, however, with well over 400 different products to transfer and with only my 2 hands to work with, things are taking a long time.
I am so focused on trying to get my site sorted that once again, I also find myself falling behind on emails – does anyone know how I can find more hours in the day?!
I really hope you can bear with me during this tricky process, I cannot tell you how much your continuing patience means to me!
For now – here is a sneaky peek of how things are looking …

I love, love, LOVE Christmas time – this year I have been handmaking a fair few gifts and as always, have been busy making decorations for the house. I have taken things a step further this year and gone down the “Eco” path, starting with eco gift wrap!
I bought a large roll of brown parcel paper, some ribbon, went into the loft to dig out the remains of last years wrapping paper, broke open my crafty bits n bobs and set to work:
I love how versatile this way of wrapping is! I snipped some cute little snowflakes out from some scrap paper, stuck little glittery christmas trees on, even went all out with some diamantes LOL
They look beautiful under the tree!
The best part is that I still have lots of gifts to wrap so I can try my hand at these beautiful handmade bows:

After making my paper baubles a couple of years ago, this year my daughter and I tried our hand at making some cinnamon apple ornaments.
They turned out brilliantly – so simple and they smell GREAT! I have a sneaking suspicion our dog has eaten a couple of them as we are missing some, however, even though they smell yummy, I shouldn’t imagine that PVA glue tastes all that nice! LOL
There are lots of tutorials online on how to make these, we personally followed Simply Vintage Girl’s Recipe
We also made some 3D snowflakes, they look gorgeous – a bit fiddly but the results are stunning! We followed this tutorial
If you are starting to dig the eco vibe (yeah maaaaaaan) why not make your own garland? Every year I make my own because I am a cheapskate care about the enviroment.
I use bay branches from the tree in our garden (which smell divine) and some ivy to form the basic shape then pretty it up with some fake berries, homemade dried orange slices, sparkly stars and whatever else I have to hand! Costs no more than a couple of pounds but looks very christmassy.
It doesn’t need to be restricted to just a mantel piece, I use it all over the house – from the TV stand to sprigs on our sideboard!
Hopefully I can upload some more photos at some point, however I really must stopping blogging, pack up my orders and get them shipped so I can finish the decorating! YAY!
xoxo
