So, last week, just as I was getting well
and truly stuck into the idea of Christmas crafting and concentrating on all
things cold & snowy… I got an order from a good friend of mine Trev, to
make 14 trophies for a triathlon that he runs every year at the end of August.
It’s called The Big
Woody (actually there are two, with the smaller version called The
Little Woody) so all the trophies needed to be based on a tree theme!
I love the fact that Black Sheep Sports
(the company my friend Trev runs) like to hire local people to make the
trophies each year and am so proud that this time they’ve asked me!
Would y’all like a sneak peek of the
trophies? Course you would!

| Summer Tree |

| Autumn Tree - this is my favourite colour combo! |
The races take place a week on Saturday, so
I can see that my sleep to coffee ratio is going to fall dramatically for the
next week and a half!
I also have a Charity
Fun Day at The Crown in Coleway (Forest of Dean!) that I’m attending this
coming weekend, but will have to rely on the stock I had left over from the
last fayre I did as I won’t have time to make any more… as I’m sharing my stall
with a friend I’m not too worried as I’m sure between us we’ll have plenty of
stock!
Oh and one more thing (I always feel rather
like Columbo whenever I say that!) thought
you might like to see the finished Snowman stocking:
They’re now being listed in my Etsy
shop
I love the cross eyed snowman especially and good work with the trees too, trunks especially!

These are gorgeous, you're so clever. Not sure I want to think about Christmas in August though, haha. xxx
ReplyDeleteAhhh thank you both :-) I'm really enjoying making them (thank goodness!)
