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 learning to shoot a bow and arrow throwing a bonfire party in the middle of a corn maze and eating liege waffles in Belgium. You can also find me at Twitter, Flickr, Ravelry, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. More about me and all this.

Thanks for the digital camera link among other things… . I’m in the market for a new one, and I’m considering the Canon powershot s3.

i’ve played with picnik and think it’s great.
also, one thing i’d add to the top 10 list (number 11) — if you’re buying a camera — if you can afford it, get a camera with manual, aperture and shutter priorty settings. a lot of pocket digitals have them.

When I lived in FL and Hurricane Wilma hit I happened to have a wind-up radio with a cell phone charger. It SAVED my sanity. Never mind my cell was out for close to a month due to limited/no service in our area.
We had no electricity for 10 days anywhere near us and the radio was a freaking lifesaver.
Seriously Megan, a lifesaver!

That Stranger article made me hide in the crawlspace, Megan. N95 masks and franks n’ beans instead of treat bags at my next birthday party. DAMN. No, it was a chilling, informative read and I am going to order that flashlight too. And then go get back in the crawlspace.
