Logo Tweaks

I briefly broke off from my current project to revisit my unused  “SL” logo from 2021. Because I suddenly realised I don’t have any logo that works in just flat monochrome that could be used in a stencil or embossing…

Christmas Tedious Task

My accidental chore on Christmas Day has grown into something I feel like I NEED to do. This year it wasn’t DIY as it has been for a few years, but some weeding and garden tidying of leaves and debris.
