I'm Megan, and I am a resident physician. I am also a crafter, a baker and the occasional seamstress (well, VERY occasional). I've started this blog because there are two things I've heard a lot lately when my friends, MDs and otherwise, encounter my domesticity:
1) "I'm not creative enough/don't have the talent to make something like that/don't have time to make something like that."
I'm here to show you that, yes, you are creative enough. Yes, you are talented enough. And YES, you DO have time! I am in my intern year of residency, arguably the busiest year of my professional life, and I am planning my wedding, yet I still find time to sew, cut, glue and bake to my heart's content. It's not every day, but a few minutes here and there can produce something lovely in the end. If you have the ambition, you have the ability.
Okay, end of cliches.
2) "You're like Martha Stewart, but a doctor."
Umm, sure. I've taken that to mean that I am a crafty, detail-oriented person with a distinctive personal style (and no, I'm not interested in hearing other interpretations). And that's what my craftiness and domesticity comes down to: expressing my personal style. I don't intend to impose my styleupon you, but perhaps I can give you an idea that you can make your own. Because the best style is one that is an amalgam of ideas made into something that pleases you, but always with a measured restraint. But more on my style tirade later.
If I gain steam, I would love to have "guest contributors" to this blog, because there are a lot of smart women with good ideas out there.
So. Welcome. And lest I finish my first post without an example of my recent projects, here is a gift box I decorated recently. I'll teach you how to make the rick-rack rosettes next time.
Cheers,
Megan
