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 playing games with peppers, getting myself out of a hedge maze and appreciating some good cookware.
You can also find me at Twitter, Flickr, Ravelry, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. More about me and all this.
