Designing and gardening!

Quite a different morning. A group are starting a cafe in the town for people to come in and have a cuppa and chat, or sit quietly, but somewhere peaceful to call in. I suggested the name ‘Chill and Chat Cafe’ and that is what they are going with. Tina asked me to design a logo which of course I will be drawing on the A board for them to put outside. Did a couple of round pencil sketches, well, I had done one and Tina suggested that I could make it like a jammy dodger biscuit! Then a bit later ai did a couple of coloured versions so that they can see if either of them is suitable.




This afternoon I have spent a lot of time in the garden again, finished tidying the big bed and then split the cowslips and some primulas and planted them out. Also managed to get a dozen of the bedding plants in that we bought at the weekend, took a picture on the bed I was working on, did the whole thing right up to the gate in the walled garden.
I got the hose out and watered the back garden well before I got my tea and called it a day. This evening I have started to do a bit more to the puzzle. Not big but quite tricky and not helped by the fact that the board I am using has bits of paper stuck on it! I will listen to a story and pack up to watch the final bust of Des later.

  1. You are a Jack of all trades! They certainly turn to you for any art or design that needs doing. I like the name, says what it is and is simple. The logos both look good to me, but I think I prefer the one with the heart border, which no doubt means they’ll pick the other because I have no design sense at all 😊 Should be fun putting them on an A board. Trouble with those things is you have to do it twice, assuming it’s double sided.
    Surprised you found time for that considering how much gardening you’ve done, it looks a lot. I hope you’ve not overdone it and suffer later for it! Does look very nice though.
    I would have thought you’d done enough today without feeling the need to do puzzles too. You do put me to shame!
    Enjoy your program.

  2. It has been quite a good day, especially as this morning ai had a different pain in the non surgery knee!
    I enjoyed doing the design, I like to be set a challenge!
    I have got stuck in with the back garden and am pleased to have that bed looking pretty tidy.
    That puzzle is more challenging than I had imagined and at the moment I still have a couple of edge pieces missing!
