OTHER THING I’M AWFULLY PROUD OF

Declared an Honorary Mad Scientist by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories

REPRESENTED BY

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.

Winter and Spring Projects

A Valentine's Day cracker filled with candy and tokens of love. Perfect because, after all, it takes two to open it.

Three ideas for Valentine's Day treasure hunts.

Rainbow Cake: Cake with a rainbow pattern inside, made as a Leprechaun Trap Cake.

Polka dotted papier-mache Easter eggs to fill with candy, toys or secret notes.

Easter Surprise Eggs: Hollow eggs, colored brightly with food coloring and filled with small toys and candies. To get inside you need to crack the egg.

Chocolate Easter Surprise Eggs: Hollow eggs with an interior shell of dark and white chocolate then filled with candies. One need to break both the shell and the chocolate to reach the things inside.

A felt dahlia pin for your favorite mom, with a secret pocket for notes of appreciation.
