Hi everyone!! I am Meegan from What Meegan Makes
I am
so happy to be here this morning with Clare for"Morning Tea".
I am an ocean loving, grand baby kissing, vintage finding, paint
hungry woman and wife that loves to blog about all of the
above.
Coffee or tea ?
I personally like Hazelnut Herbal tea

What is your business
?
I write a blog about my crafting and designing. I also do wedding flowers
occasionally. I enjoy making our home an oasis from the
stresses of the world. My hope is to help others create a warm and cozy home
with minimal cost.
How long has it been
going ? I have been blogging for 9 mths.
How did it start out ? We had moved into a
condo from living in a fairly large home. I decided it would be fun to change
things up and make it "our home". I was using up a lot of our family blog space
to share my projects-so I decided to start my own .
How do manage around
your family ?
Our 7 children are all grown with families of their own. Our youngest gets married this Nov :) But, I still need to manage my blog around them and my Hubby. I try to keep balance between Hubby, his job (and school), and all my projects. Sometimes I am not so good at it.

When your craft
becomes your work how do you relax ? I like to watch old movies and eat ice
cream. But, I LOVE to lay out by the pool most of
all.
Do you make things and
sometimes keep them for yourself ?
Most times I do keep them. But, lately it has been fun to share them with friends and family.

Are you right or left handed ? Yes I'm not
afraid to ask the tough questions
I am right handed :)

What is your favourite
craft ? I would have to say painting a frame, piece of furniture, or any kind
of home accessory such as a candlestick, end table, or mirror. I like to
refresh items and give them new life!!
Describe a normal day for you ?
My brain is constantly creating and working. My husband will often ask
me,"Does your creativity ever stop?" My answer is always no. So, when I get up
in the morning, I am already looking and starting the next project. Sometimes
the idea comes right away and others I have to sit on them awhile-then the
creative juices start flowing. When the projects come together I can't stop
until it is done. I LOVE seeing the finished project. I walk by it several
times to see it from all angles. Then I decide how I could perfect it, and
maybe I even just look at it for a day or so. Then it finds a place in our
home.
Are your designs your
own ? I LOVE to make my own creations, by putting a little twist or highlight to
it. But, there is so much to see "out there" that who can resist being inspired
by others .
What is the very first thing you would buy if you won the
lottery ?
A home by the beach so all of our family could come play in the sun. Then give the rest to charity to help others.

Tell us something
quirky about yourself ?
Hmmm...There are SO many things!! I like ice cream and
cookies for breakfast. I don't eat it-but I certainly like it !
What are your plans ?
I would love to make a little money from my blog. But am enjoying floral design
as well.
How much further do you plan to take your business ?
I want to do what I love for as long as I love it. Once the love is gone, so will be the business

Do you sell your
crafts if yes where do you sell ?
People ask me all the time if I sell my
crafts, or furniture. I haven't sold any yet. But I would want to if the time
and price was right.
Thanks for having me for "Morning Tea today, Clare! It has
been an honor and a pleasure. I hope your readers will come by for a visit .
Come join along with me as I share what I love, and love what I do.

transforming a boring piece of furniture into a thing of beauty !

Ooooh don't you just love a bit of mystery .......
