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 track of what I'm up to and post links to good stuff from all over.
Lately I've been traveling to the UK, getting through the dark months by indulging in video games and experiencing life with a microwave after not having one for over a decade. You can also find me at Twitter, Flickr, Ravelry, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. More about me and all this.
New! I've just started writing over at Babble Voices, go see my stuff at Future Imperfect.
