Cavendish Mascot Challenge

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Life insurance isn’t something we usually talk about, but it’s definitely something we’ve been meaning to sort out. When Cavendish Insurance reached out to us with a creative challenge—designing a mascot using the savings from their life insurance quote—I couldn’t resist jumping in. Honestly, who doesn’t love a good creative challenge?

Screen Shot 2015-05-17 at 20.54.00 Getting a quote from Cavendish was surprisingly straightforward, and we ended up saving about £10 using the exact same information as before. That £10 might not sound like much, but it felt like a victory—a little financial win to celebrate!

Air-drying clay has always been a favorite in our household, but I realized that the twins might struggle less with it now that they're older. We picked up a big bag of Das air-drying clay in terracotta and divided it into four portions. The challenge was simple: create a Cavendish mascot.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA We brainstormed ideas and decided that Cavendish sounded like the name of a cat. Cats are friendly, approachable, and have a certain charm that seemed perfect for a mascot. The girls got straight to work, molding the clay into their versions of Cavendish.

She wanted to give him glasses to make him look sophisticated, almost like a little sphinx. She added tiny details like claws, which were a bit tricky to attach but worked well after scoring both pieces lightly.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Charlotte, who’s four, absolutely adored this project. She loves playing with clay, and this was just an extension of that. She gave her little cat a sweet face, complete with a tiny nose and eyes made from smaller bits of clay.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Rose, also four, found this task incredibly motivating. She often gets frustrated when things don’t turn out perfectly, but she was thrilled with her little cat and declared him “so cute!”

Conference Table

A conference table is a large table specifically designed for meetings, discussions, and collaborative work in conference rooms or boardrooms. When looking for a conference table, consider the following factors:

  1. Size and Shape: Determine the size of the conference table based on the available space in your conference room or boardroom. Consider the number of people you want to accommodate comfortably. Common shapes include rectangular, oval, round, or boat-shaped tables. Choose a shape that suits the layout of the room and promotes effective communication.

  2. Material and Finish: Conference tables come in various materials, including wood, glass, metal, or a combination of materials. Consider the durability, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements of the chosen material. Additionally, evaluate the finish options available to ensure it matches the overall decor of the room.

  3. Style and Design: Choose a conference table that aligns with the style and design of your office or conference room. Options range from traditional and classic designs to modern and contemporary styles. Consider the aesthetics, detailing, and overall look of the table to create a cohesive and professional atmosphere.

  4. Features and Functionality: Evaluate any additional features or functionality that you may require. This could include integrated power outlets or data ports for easy connectivity, cable management systems to keep wires organized, or built-in storage options for holding meeting supplies or equipment.

  5. Seating Capacity: Consider the number of seats you need around the conference table. This will depend on the size of your team or the expected number of participants in meetings. Ensure that the table provides enough space for everyone to sit comfortably without feeling crowded.

  6. Ergonomics: Assess the ergonomics of the conference table. Look for features like a comfortable height and adequate legroom to promote good posture and comfortable seating during long meetings. A table with adjustable height options may be beneficial for accommodating different user preferences.
