Welcome back to the blog
Hi, I’m Megan, and I make weird stuff and I like to take pictures of it. I don’t believe in sad, beige clothes, and I don’t want a sad, beige life, and the Meta algorithm is ruining everything in social media, so I thought maybe I’d come back here and give it a go.

MeMadeMay 2020 Day 6
“MeMadeMay (2020) day 6. Rifle Paper Co. blouse number 2: the one I made incorrectly and therefore never quite fit. Well, the good news is that it fits as well as it ever has, so here we are.

MeMadeMay 2020 Day 2
“MeMadeMay (2020) day 2. My favorite shorts, because Monterrey dragged me out to play frisbee at an ungodly hour. At least they still fit, because last May was freezing until the end and I had extra time to shed my winter fluff.” …Is it weird that, looking back on my old MMMay posts, all I…
