A Logo


GKD has a logo!? Heather spring cleaned the site, and we found this lovely doodle just lying around so...

Really, I hounded the Better Half to draw "something" for us. Anyone who could come up with a skull and cross bones for the cover of my recipe collection, make our family wedding photograph sing the "Menah menah" song, and create a flash movie of my dad and his squirt gun could come up with a logo for a blog called "Gourmet Knitting Disaster". Each completed project encourages new ideas (on my part). Maybe some day he'll actually have time for his projects instead of mine.

If you read the comments posted to this blog, you will recognize Alex's name - the reason we met, the blog pusher himself, the faithful reader we verbally poke at with pointy sticks. To honor Alex as our number one (and sometimes only) fan, we gave him the first piece of what he called "blogophenalia" for his birthday. An apron avec GKD logo was appropriate not because Alex splashes when he eats, but because he's a good cook. I often invite myself to his house for barbecue, turkey dinner, brunch... He makes great chocolate chess and pumpkin pies.

Thank you Steve. Thank you Alex.

So, you should post what I'm sure is the horribly ugly picture of my in my GKD apron!

i can't post that photo until i edit out the "you're number one" hand motion you made.

Alex said...

Why does my right to free expression have to be trampled on like this?

Heather said...

And he was such a nice boy...

Alex said...

THAT- is a damn lie.

Heather said...

I thought you would be happier with a lie than with the truth. No one would believe me if I told them the truth.

Kate said...

i would! i would believe the truth about alex. only because i already know the truth about alex. he denies the pencil stabbing you know...

Heather said...

I'm sure he denies it. He's denied it since it happened twenty-seven years ago, or how ever long ago that was. The first thing I will do when I get there is demand to be taken to you so I can show you the evidence. I had witnesses.

I know you got stabbed with a pencil, that is not in question. I simply don't remember being the Stabber.
