I have a new thing to make up on Flickr – a door draft stopper for our cold little house. The doors in our house seem to have been trimmed to accommodate a layer or two of carpet in the past leaving them almost two inches off the refinished wood floors. The inspiration for the project came from this thing on Cool Tools, but that one would slide right through the gap underneath my doors so I decided to have a go at it.

Hi, I'm Megan. I live in Seattle with Scott. I make stuff and give you tutorials on how to make it too. I also keep a blog of what I'm up to and links to good stuff from all over.
Lately I've been reflecting on 2011, wishing I didn't have to say goodbye to my3D gingerbread trees and learning how to make boiled omelets. You can also find me at Twitter, Flickr, Ravelry, Facebook and Pinterest. More about me and all this.
