I’m Megan ‘May’ Jeyifo, a twenty-something married with dog that loves black coffee, leaves, picking up new crafts and putting them down after 25% mastery has occurred, repurposing castoffs, the back porch, the Midwest and letters on real pages.

  6. 25% mastery! Ha ha — I have the same problem. :-)

    • Wow! Kristen’s private click class exeedced all of my expectations. She is a natural teacher ~ organized, comfortable, patient, and encouraging. Your knowledge of your camera builds throughout the day until you have this giant A-HA moment when you are shooting in M ~ with everything coming together and making sense. Kristen is so creative: her house is amazingly eclectic, her cooking is YUM, and her photography is an inspiration and reminder as to why you are there. Thank you, Kristen!

  7. Hi Megan,

    This is Robert from Palo Alto. Wow! Cool website!
    Nice structure and categories. Very practical and creative. Inspiring!

    Kindest regards,

This is becomming one of her favorite places in the world.I am leaving for the stable soon to see how Maddie is feeling today. I am sure she is in better shape than me.

  10. I just found your blog off ReadyMade and am loving it. I was born and raised in Milwaukee also. Your style and honesty is awesome (I can totally relate to your comment about putting things down after 25% mastery) I’ll be checking out the archives to see what I’ve missed so far!

    cheers

  17. Hi Megan! Not sure how I found you, but I’m dying to find out where you got that cute little red filing cabinet in your home next to your desk. Is it vintage? Do you know the brand? Thanks so much!
