When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

Friday Smiles


On Wednesday evening I listened to my football team Bristol Rovers commentary. They were away in a cup fixture. Now I wasn't smiling at the result as we lost but I was definitely smiling as I created these beauties!

Yes my very own Bristol Rovers daps!

I bought them for £3 in the sale. I grabbed my Sharpie markers and designed away!
 I took the laces out and used a pencil to plot my design.


 My team wears blue and white quarters so I recreated the design across the pair.

 I wrote Bristol Rovers onto the front of the daps and added UTG (Up The Gas) on the sides. Being a crafter I had to add a touch of sparkle! 

So these will be worn to footy when it's dry. I have sprayed them with waterproof spray but I don't want to risk ruining them so dry weather only!

Hope this made you smile today!

Take care Zo xx

Hi Zo, Sorry your team did't win but those shoes are real winners. I didn't realise Sharpies were so versatile. You know when other fans see them you'll be getting orders, don't you. A great make. Have a lovely week.Barbxx

Love the shoe conversion... I love that each foot is different too. Hope the team wins next time and they may become your lucky daps!!
Have a great weekend.

Great shoes! Having lived in Bristol for 22 years and I never knew what UTG meant... Now I know....
I do hope you get some dry weather so you can wear them to a match.
I hope there are many more smiles to come your way this week,
Thanks for visiting,
Lisca

Ooh I love those shoes. What a great idea. They would have to be red in our house. Husband and all the boys as well as the grandsons, all support Arsenal - sorry! But I love them all the same. Kate x

Well Zoe, how clever are you, Daps look fabulous, i bet you have all the other 'clobber' (clothing) to go with them - a real supporter. Enjoy your weekend Cheers Robyn
